40th Birthday Clapperboard Card

Polka Dots Birthday Card

This is my first time experimenting with the new stencils from Create A Smile Stamps. I started off with the "Huge Polka Dots" stencil and then used the "Focal Dots" stencil. I chose colors that would blend together nicely and I'm very happy with the different shades of green and blue. To give my project a little more interest I cut out several rectangles with stitched edges and glued them back together on my cardbase.

Yoda Birthday Card

This is my first take on the spinner card. If I do this type of card again, I will improve a few things but for now I'm glad I've given this a try :) Please go to my Instagram page to see a short clip of Yoda spinning around!

Soccer Birthday Card

This is definitely not my go-to color scheme but I wanted to incorporate the signature colors of someone's favorite soccer team (Borussia Dortmund) into this card and had to step out of my comfort zone ;) I think it turned out fine!

Good Luck Birthday Card

I very much enjoy applying the ink smooshing technique at the moment. I smooshed some of my favorite colors onto watercolor cardstock and then die cut the circles, balloons, hearts and letters.

Birthday Card For A Musician

I kept this male birthday card rather clean and simple and in soft colors but added a few bold black music notes here and there for a contrasting element and a personal touch.

Happy Monsters

How cute are these little monsters? This card was so much fun to make. To start off I die cut a circle out of my background piece and used the 'Balloons in the sky' stamp set by Create A Smile Stamps on it. I blended some distress inks over the balloons and made sure to apply more pressure on the top of the card and less on the bottom for an ombre effect. Then I stamped the monsters onto the die cut circle and colored them with Copic markers. I put fun foam behind the balloon background for some dimension.
