Day 17 - Happy Birthday Mermaid Card

For day 17 I am bringing you a card featuring The Greeting Farm's Mermaid Anya cling stamp. 

To create the the 3d affect and still use the twine behind the image I cut out the stamped image that I colored beforehand, and glued the twine on the back of the image. I then placed 3d foam tape on the back.

I used pearl accents to represent bubbles and to give the card a little pizzazz; cause, you know, who doesn't like some extra bling. 

Supplies I Used: *Paper Studio and La Petite products are found at Hobby Lobby

Day 5 - Birthday Wishes Card

Today I'm sharing a clean and simple card for Day 5. 

Again I used my cheap markers for the butterfly. I'm starting to get real comfortable using them even if they don't blend as well as the more favored brands. 

I used washi tape along the side, but of course a strip of paper could be used. 

I hope you enjoyed today's card. Come back next week for some more fun projects. Remember, I may not always blog everyday but I will blog at once a week and will highlight the days I missed. And if you are on Instagram, you can also follow my coloring adventure here Jessica.Marie.Backer

Fabulous Glitter Coffee Card

Good Morning everyone! I hope everyone had a good week.
The card I am sharing with you today, I made for a friend who's birthday is coming up.

Firehouse Dog Birthday Card

Good Morning everyone! I apologize for having been a bit MIA in the blogging world. I'm trying to discipline myself to make time to blog and it's very difficult.

Anyway, moving on. Today I am sharing a card that I made for a special little man who turned two last week. 

I made this card with crayola pencils and cricut die cuts. I colored the background by hand, to create the landscape and then the rest is die cuts.

If I use my cricut die cuts for cards, I love creating little scenes for them. I just feel like it makes the card a bit more special.

It's hard to tell, but the pup is mounted on 3d foam mounting tape. 

Supplies I used: 

Textured cardstock - red, black, yellow, white, and green

Crayola colored pencils - blue, light green, and tan

Die Cuts - Cricut, Create a Critter

3d foam mounting tape

Glue runner - 3L Mystick

Snow Owl Birthday Card and Matching I Am One Banner

Hi, It's been awhile since I have posted a project, but I wanted to share with you this card and banner I made for a little girl in our church who was turning one.

To make this card I cut the base out of textured turquoise cardstock. I cut the white cardstock 1/2" shorter than base and punched out a scalloped circle to create a window and glued the white to the base.

I stamped the owl with black archival ink, colored with a crayola pencil, fussy cut, and mounted it with 3d foam tape. I then placed it in the circle.

I stamped 'Happy Birthday' on the white cardstock in the black archival ink and then I hand punched the 5/8" snowflakes out of pink textured cardstock from my scrap stash and scattered them on the card. I glued the snowflakes with a glue pen because they're so small.

And here is the matching banner.
