Unity - Cheesy Birthday

 

Happy Saturday!

Today, I have another birthday card using a super punny stamp set from Unity Stamps called "Cheese Chat".  I thought this would be a funny card for family and friends who live outside Wisconsin.  

I recently cleaned my craftroom and discovered cardstock on my shelf that I had forgotten was there because there were boxes in front of it.  It was the smooth Bazzill cardstock The Angel Company carried the last year or so, which means it has been on my shelf over 15 years.  Can that be possible?  

I found from yellow Bazzill Grapefruit Bliss and created a stenciled background, which looks like cheese.  The stencil was one I got in a set from Amazon several years ago.  The ink I used was PTI Summer Sunrise.  I've seen card samples with a partially stenciled background that fades out, so I thought I would give it a try.  The sentiment is stamped on Pineapple Bliss Bazzill cardstock and cut with DieNamics Circle STAX Set 1 & 2.  Matted the sentiment and the background with PTI Black cardstock.  

The Cheese and grater image was colored with Copic Markers.

Copic Colors:  Y17, Y21, Y38, E31, E33, E37, W1, W3, W4, R39

I cut the colored image with a edge die from DieNamics - Stitched Basics Edges.  I'm finding all kinds fun of things in my craftroom.

 My interpretation:

I've been wanting to use this set for some time.  It is for The Craft's Meow "Birthday Pun", the designer is Karen Baker.  Did you know Simon Says Stamp carries stamps from The Craft's Meow?

I used a few new dies from Taylored Expressions - rolling hills and swirly clouds.  I'm loving these new dies.

Newton's Law - Less Is More

Hi All,

I have a really fun card today.    I saw this image on the blog of a participant in a Little Miss Muffet challenge and just fell in love with him.  His name is Newton.  Isn't he cute?!?  

I think it makes a great birthday card.  Would you believe this is a coloring page image you can download at the website Newton's Law?  There are lots of other fun images too.   

I made 2 versions of the card.  The one with the bow will be for my sister's birthday.  The other has PTI button twine instead which I thought would be more gender neutral. 

Supplies --

Taylored Expressions - Tick Tock

Today, I have another birthday card, one perfect for anyone I think.  The image is from Taylored Expressions "Tick Tock".  This stamp set comes with the coordinating clock die.  Love that.

The clip board and notepaper is also a die from Taylored Expressions.  The lines are from a PaperTrey Ink set Just the Ticket and is stamped in PTI Aqua Mist ink.  Taylored Expressions has a notepaper stamp but I don't have that stamp - yet ;).

The clock image is a layer of 3 pieces of cardstock.  I found some silver metallic cardstock at Joann's and used that cardstock for the die cut clock and the clipboard clip.  I stamped the clock on red and white cardstock then cut out the clock components and layered them on the silver die cut, then added the silver brad in the center.

Supplies -- 

Stamps: Taylored Expressions "Tick Tock"; PTI "Just the Ticket"

Dies: Taylored Expressions "Tick Tock" and clip board and notepaper

Ink: PTI Black and Aqua Mist 

Cardstock: PTI White, Aqua Mist, Pure Poppy and Kraft

Silver Brad

We have a new challenge at Little Miss Muffet - Boys Only.  I created a monster using LMM Build a Monster bundle.  I wanted something that looked sluggish, because I had this funny sentiment I won last Fall in a challenge.  Well, I think it is quite funny. 

Build a Monster is such a great set to play with, mixing all the different elements to create something new.
