Birthday Dino

Sorry for the lack of posting! I've been swamped of late and just trying to catch up on so much. Right now I'm at the beach with the family. Dave has a softball tournament here, so we are here for the weekend. Anyway - thought I would show a card I made last week for our neighbor's son's birthday. He turned 6, so I thought this would be a good set to use from MFT (Dino-Mite).


See that bit of sparkle on the striped paper? Nope - it isn't from a glitter stack. I 'made' it myself! :) Very simple to do and you can add glitter to any of your favorite patterned papers. I used a Sakura Glitter Gel Pen to make mine. You can also use glitter, embossing powder (clear or irridescent) - use your imagination and what you have on hand!

Supplies:
Stamps: MFT - Dino Mite
CS: Yoyo Yellow, Ballet Blue, WW, Patterned Paper
Ink: Palette Noir
Other: Blue Ribbon, Copic Markers, Sakura Glitter Gel Pen, Stampin' Dimensionals

Until next time - hope you are having a wonderful weekend!!

I WANT CANDY!!

Oh my Goodness - this is so perfect for me!! For those that know me - I LOVE candy. All kinds - it doesn't matter, I'll eat almost anything. My family and friends make fun of me because I truly have a sweet tooth. When I saw this stamp set by My Favorite Things called Monster Squad, I knew I had to get it.

I made this card over the WCMD weekend, but forgot to post it. The paper is by Cosmo Cricket - got it from my scrapbooking kit through Go. Be Creative. Lainey (the owner) is a sweetheart and puts all her kits together. They are awesome - you won't be disappointed if you decide to join her kit club!! This card sketch was also posted by Lainey on her blog, so why not use it. Using sketches helps move the whole card process right along!

Supplies:
Stamps: Monster Squad (My Favorite Things)
CS: Chocolate Chip, WW, Cosmo Cricket Haunted - Them Bones
Ink: Palette Noir, Close to Cocoa (for sponging the edges)
Other: Copic Markers, Stampin Dimensionals

Thanks for stopping by today!! Hope you had a wonderful day!!
