Unity - Reel Great Guy

Happy Saturday!

Today, I have a birthday card to share.  The image is Unity - "Reel Great Guy", which is a great set for masculine cards.  I used Unity Postage Nested die to cut the cream linen texture cardstock, then stamped the image of the fishing lures.  The lures were colored with Copic markers.

Copic Colors: E30, E34, E35, R05, R08, BG45, 

BG49, Y32, Y35, YG13, YG17

I aged the edges of the colored image with PTI Kraft ink and a blending brush and matted it with PTI True Black cardstock.  The base card is PTI Vintage Cream.  I used some scraps of barnwood papers and vintage newspaper papers to cover the base card, then added the image and some twine.

Unity - Level Up Birthday

Happy Saturday!

Today I have a birthday card I made for our nephew who turned 40 this week.  I thought this stamp set from Unity - Level Up was perfect.  I remember getting him Gameboy games for his birthday 25-30 years ago, so this image had all the nostalgia along with a fun gaming sentiment. 

I stamped the Loading image on white cardstock then used DieNamics - Stitched Basics Edges die to create the angle cut.  Used a stitch banner die for the sentiment.  I added a stenciled chevron in Soft Stone ink to the white cardstock.  The Gameboy image was colored with Copic Markers and fussy cut out and adhered to the front panel with pop dots.  The base card is white.  I added a piece of blue Bazzill cardstock, then added the white front panel with the image and sentiment.

The second card uses the same layout and the gaming controller from the same stamp set. I fussy cut the controller out, so the plug was free and wrapped around the sentiment.  A fun detail I saw on a Unity card sample for this set.

Copic Colors:  B14, B16, Y32, Y35, R14, R46, W1, W2, W3, 0

Cardstock: Bazzill Loganberry Pie, PTI White

Ink: PTI Soft Stone

Electrical Birthday

 Happy Saturday!

Today I have a birthday card I made for my friend's husband who is an Electrical Engineer.  I could not resist when I saw this circuit board 3D embossing folder by Tim Holtz.  I had to get it.  I embossed a piece of PaperTrey Ink Blueberry Sky cardstock then used a dark gray Copic marker (W7) to color the surface mounted elements.  With a Artistro gold paint pen I colored the electrical traces and vias. 

I matted the circuit board with gold cardstock and added a die cut happy birthday sentiment from Memory Box. 

A pretty quick birthday card.
