I am having so much fun rediscovering all my classic stamps! Today I am showing off these PB piggies with their Easter bonnets! circa 2004!

Did you make an Easter bonnet when you were in school?  

In the first grade our teachers let us loose with paper plate hats and lots of fancy ribbon and fake flowers and let us glue them on in a 'lovely' design! After we had them all decorated, we got to wear  our best clothes and walk with a friend through the aisle of beaming seated parents at a school program. We then sang a few songs and it was all done. I vividly remember my dress and my walking mate. He was a boy and I always thought "Ewwww"... boys. lol

Lori Whitlock Happy Birthday Card Tutorial.

 

Welcome to Lori Whitlock's Thursday tutorial! 

5x7 Happy Birthday Card (SVG, Silhouette)

This card is also included in Lori's  Birthday Bash Bundle.

This wonderful card caught my attention the very first time I saw it! I loved the colors and thought the design was outstanding!  

I cut out this design, leaving the tiny cut out pieces on my sticky mat. I couldn't just throw away all the fun cut out pieces so I made a second card out of the "scraps". All I had to do was cut double  balloons and added a few extra leaves and flowers and cut two white card bases. I always cut multiples of little pieces anyway-I somehow manage to drop a few! It was tedious with all those little pieces, but I was sitting watching my latest Netflix obsession so I was doing double duty!

This is the back side of the card top . Most of the colors are glued onto the backside.

You have to set the top piece on top of the center piece and glue the dark letter center pieces on.

All three layers are ready to glue together and the card is complete!

This is the second card I made with the leftover bits and pieces.  

Here is the sentiment that I saved with the accent paper pieces glued on. I set them aside for card #2. You have to make the white card first because you need the top piece for placing each letter. 

I saved all the little do-dahs and glued them on to the white card base, using the dark piece as the guide for placement.  I added all the dots and balloons, flowers etc with my pick-me-up tool as well as my paper piercer and little mat scraper. I love getting double duty from one cut file! 

I hope you enjoyed these cute cards.

For my card today I used a classic House Mouse stamp. Do you remember the Stampabilities stamps with fun coordinating sentiments? These stamps are dated 2008 so it's been a while!  

I have been moving my stamp room to my new place and it has been so much fun re-discovering all my classic stamps! When I get it set up I'll do a little craftroom review. It's going to take a while though. I can't believe how much I have. I am going to have to weed out a bunch of craftiness to fit it all in-but not my House Mouse, Penny Black, Peanuts and my cute little classic stamps. You will probably see a bit more classic stamps now that they are close by!

I colored my images with copics and used a Lawn Fawn sky stencil with Speckled Egg Distress Oxide ink. I used a fun die, cutting two to make the card base. 

Vintage stamps used:

Don't Crack Under Pressure HM1017 Mudpie-Stampabilities

Be Egg-cellent CR1105-Stampabilities

(I searched for this stamp-oh my are they selling for quite a lot of $$ on Ebay!)

I think this is one of my most favorite cards I have made in ages. It is so darned cute!! I  LOVE that shamrock tree and funny little gnome.  This dimensional card is a creative fold that flattens for  mailing! Easy to pop right back up when you take it out of the envelope! 

As always I do add a matting for some pieces. In this case I added a .05 green matting to the fun Lori Whitlock St. Patricks clover paper designs. I also used some different paper for the tree and a few of those blimey shamrocks! lol

Card Patchwork Heart Checker



I have always loved the funny Penny Black cows. I couldn't find a link to this actual cow stamp unfortunately. It is a classic stamp for sure!

I  resized the patchwork card base cut file to make this an A2 size and added just the checkerboard piece to the top and bottom of the card.

Mouse Mail

This sweet image is perfect to send to a dear friend! It was very easy to color! I used copics and used Lawn Fawn stitched rectangles to mat it. 

For a bit of interest I stamped and cut out an extra mailbox flag and added it with a foam dot under the flag-just enough dimension and still easy for mailing.

Brew-tiful Day RSC-063

Hi there! Hope you are all staying warm! It has been pretty cold around here. Brrrrr

Perfect for that hot cup of coffee(in my case it is cocoa!)

For my card today I am using a new stamp from the latest Spellbinders House Mouse release. I tried to make it look like Amanda Mouse was inside her little mousie home, getting ready for a nice cup she has brewed up!

As always, colored with copics.I used a circle stencil from Penny Black to shape my little mouse door and used Miss Inks star stencil inside the house. I blended a bit of brown for the wall color and added some seams with a light brown copic.I added it on some sparkly and shiny striped paper, but that doesn't really show in the pics.

Bio.

I have been drawing since a child and studied graphics at College many years ago, I now work as a Medical photographer part time but my love was always drawing. I started cardmaking about 4yrs ago when I bought my daughter a cardmaking kit which we did together, but I’m afraid I got the bug! My daughter preferred scrapbooking. I then started looking online at other blogs and this then became my passion and I loved sharing my cards with like minded people.

I love stamping and loved finding images, but sometimes I could not find what I wanted so I started to draw myself. This then has become my second addiction and I have never looked back, I love thinking of new images, and its just fabulous to see others take them and make them into beautiful works of art. Long may it continue!
