Robot easel birthday card

Since we had the birthday party for my nephews on Saturday, get ready for a few of their cards, lol.  The first was yesterday, and here is the second.  This one was for the eight year old, and he picked out the paper at Michael's, not knowing it was for his card!  So at least I knew he would like it!  The robot is from Lettering Delights Funky Robots clip art set, and the stamp is SU!  This one was really simple and easy, so thanks for visiting today!

I kinda like this...

So, a little background here.  My 12 year old is currently obsessed with the old TV show "Family Matters", and Steve Urkel is his absolute favorite.  He often goes around the house hiking his pants up to his chest, saying, "Did I do thaaaaat?"   Also, his parents got him the first season as a birthday gift.  SO, I had to make this for my mom to give him as a birthday card.  Can you tell good old Steve is dropping the cupcake??  I hope it comes through in the translation well enough.

All of the doll cuts were from Everyday Paper Dolls except the suspenders, which I hand cut.  Steve is pop dotted and cut at 4", and I used PKS for his face.  The cupcake is a Recollections sticker from Michael's, and the font and talking bubble are cut with MTC, using the Family Guy font I found online.  The mat is from DCWV Glitter stack, the inside stickers are just some non-dimensionals from Michael's, and I think that about covers it.  I'm pretty proud of how this one came together, and I hope everyone gets a little chuckle out of this. Adam told me secretly that this was his favorite card this year!  So cute.  Thanks for visiting!!

Now I'm torn...haha

I made this last night, and now I don't know if I want to give my 7 year old nephew the Batman or this card!!  Input, please??!!!!!!

So, obviously I used Spongebob for this, and I decided to try one because he had a SB shirt on yesterday, and we got into a discussion about how he likes Patrick the best.  So, here is what I did.  All cuts are from SB, and I used the positive cuts from the inside mat on the outside and inside left.  The cupcake is a sticker from an MS pack, "hooray" is cut with Mickey font, and the paper is a loose sheet from Joann's.  Patrick was cut at 4" high, and the end product is a 6"x6" square card, with a 5.5"x5.5" inside mat.  I think that's all for the details, so the party is in a few hours - which one should I give him?!?!?!  LOL!!!

I'm Batman...........

Lol.  Here is the card for the little one (my youngest nephew), and he is turning 7 next week!  I was debating over Batman or Spongebob for his card, and I may still make a SB card tonight, just to decide.  I used the Batman cart for all of this, and the background mat is also from the Making Memories Just Chillin' stack, which I love for boys and male cards.

Batman was cut at 4"x3", and the layers were pretty tough, if I am honest.  I gave up on the white for the eyes and teeth, and just colored it in with a gel pen.  Ugh...The star buttons are random ones from Joann's, and on the inside mat, I used Amy Chomas' gel pen holder to draw the cut on each corner.  Pretty simple, so that's about it, and thanks for visiting!

Another oldie

I think this was the third or fourth card I ever made, and it was for my mom's friend, whose grandson turned 1 last fall.  I used Mickey and Friends and Celebrations for all of the cuts.  The border was loose paper from Michael's, and the glitter paper is DCWV.  It's amazing how simplistic my cards were, especially before I bought my Cuttlebug.

I have been playing with my Gypsy a lot, and also spending some quality time watching my Flyers make history, so I will have lots of new cards next week, with several family birthdays and occasions coming soon.  Thanks for visiting, and have a great weekend!

Princess birthday card

This card was for a little girl (not sure of the age), requested by a friend of mine.  So once I heard she likes Disney princesses, I decided on the Dreams Come True cartridge, with one of the newer princesses.  Belle is my favorite, so I decided to go with her in a nice, simple pose.  Simple - HA!  These cuts are very detailed and the pieces can be very small - the Disney carts are not easy to deal with!  But I just love the images and results.  Belle was cut at 3.5"x4.5", and the glitter cardstock is from DCWV Sweet Stack, which is one of my favorites.  Ribbons are from Michael's, and the name Brooke was cut with MTC and the Crayola font.  Thanks for visiting!

Birthday card

This was a birthday card for a toddler that someone requested, and they told me that he loves trucks.  The Mickey and Friends cart had this perfect truck and border feature, so I went with that.  I did pop dot a lot of the elements, even though it does not show up well here.  This was when I was first starting out, so it's a little plain and boring, but it was all a learning process.  Thanks for visiting!
