Tabs For Everything and Large Numbers Framelits for a Teen

Hey! Look at all this blogging. Two days in a row! Get me ;-) Lol!
Today I have a cute ahem, cool card for a new teenager. I've used the Tabs for Everything for the background and as all teens/kids want to see they've hit the next big number so '13' has pride of place...

A little tale about numbers from my home... Once upon a time, when he was much younger, I spent many an hour making Josh a birthday card (our biggest boy.) Unfortunately I neglected to add his special, new number (no space or it didn't fit in my design or something.) So, of course, it was the first thing he said when he opened said card. Lesson learned, lol!

So having told you that, I must also tell you that these number dies are retiring (eek) and I think they are an essential for any significant birthday/anniversary and not just for those pesky kids, ha ha ha...

 Add to a background made with Tabs for Everything in Lemon-Lime Twist and Navy - a classic combo! And you're good to go!

So, do your friends and family love a number too?
Thanks so much for looking today, I'll be back soon with another make :-)

Half Glitter Large Letters Birthday Card

Hi there!
It's another wet day here but I have managed to get plenty of jobs done this week including all the washing so my weekend off will be a tiny bit more of a weekend off ;-)
But right now let's see the card for today. I made this card made for our daughters birthday in March and I used some SaB papers (Bubbles and Fizz) with a simple half glittered name and a touch of black to make it pop! Let's see...

 To make these half glitter letters I added three stacked strips of Myths and Magic washi to thick white card, wide enough to get all the letters across, before die cutting with large letter framelits. I then die cut the name twice more from thick white card and layered the letters up to make them stand out on the card.

 This sentiment is from the (retiring) Happiest Of Days stamp set, heat embossed in white onto black card. I also added a little silver tinsel trim (which is in the clearance rack now for just £3.30 for a pack with both red and silver! Go!)

 I was chatting with a fellow demo recently about why adding a little black to some cards was a good choice (she didn't agree) but I think it gives this card is perfect for showing how black can give your project just a little lift, don't you?

Stacked die cuts are much easier than dimensionals for thin/small shapes like this.
Adding a little DSP inside ties it all together. I don't always do this but I really should do it more as often as all you need is a couple of little offcuts that usually end up in the bin anyway ;-)

 And that's it, the birthday girl (said she) loved her card and now, what do you think?

That's all from me for today, I'm going to get editing some more pics now so I will be back to share another card with you tomorrow :-)
'Till then, happy stamping!

More Epic Celebrations Pink Converse!

Hello there,
I have another card for you today using Epic Celebrations, I think I have made the most cards with this set (with a few more still to come) during the last couple of months but please remember that Sale-a-Bration finishes in just a few short weeks *-* Yep, no more of these fabulous free products after the end of March, leaving just over three more weeks to get hold of those SaB products you've had your eye on ;-)
 So, I coloured these converse style trainers using my Blends at my blends class the other day, I think it's my best bit of  Blends colouring yet...

 Practice makes perfect. No, I'm definitely not perfect but the more I use the Blends the better I (think) I'm getting ;-)

 I embossed the Pool Party card with the Hexagon Dynamic Folder, (every time I use this folder I wonder why I don't use it more often?) then added holes with the 1/16" handheld punch, another handy tool to have, for the "laces"

 Finish by adding to a Smoky Slate base and add a sentiment, also from the Epic Celebration set.

So, do you love this set as much as I do? Let me know in the comments!

Epic Celebrations Guitar in Tranquil Tide

Hi there and happy Sunday to you!
Today I have a fun card I made right at the beginning of the month using the FREE SaB stamps "Epic Celebrations" in Tranquil Tide. I love TT more and more as the months go on, it's a really great bluey-tealy-green colour <3 nbsp="" p="">Anyway, I digress slightly, let's see this card, shall we?

I stamped the background using the guitar in smoky slate

Then the main image with Memento ink, on thick white card, before using my aqua painter and ink pads to colour the image.

Add in a little champagne foil paper tag under the mat and that's it!

So, I hope you have a lovely rest of the weekend and I'll be back tomorrow with another card :-)
