Be a Little Shellfish.....

Hello my Crafty Friends!!!!

So trying to stay on track to make Birthday cards

I really need for my stash I pulled out this oh so cute

Lawn Fawn stamp called Year Six. 

Is this not sooo stinking cute?!?!?! I knew I had to have

this set when previews started a month or so back. I 

love all underwater theme stamps and thought

it would be cute to make a masculine Birthday card with it.

I turned this into a Fun shaker card too!!!

I stamped part of the birthday greeting onto blue vellum paper

and the other half of the greeting is on the sand and it reads

(Be a little Shellfish).

Leela Merbean......

 Hello my Crafty Friends!!!

I finished up making this mermaid card for my

friend's up coming birthday this week. This is a 

digital stamp by The Greeting Farm called

Leela Merbean.  She is my Favorite merbean

of the bunch!! I colored her up with my Copics and 

I used lots of clear Wink of Stella glitter pen all

over her fins and crown but the picture does it no 

justice on showing all that sparkly shine!!!

I started out with the intentions of making

this into a shaker card but I took a different route

instead.  I Love the way it turned out and I hope my 

friend does too!!  I have seen other people make

pull out tags on their cards and tried my hand at 

that.  I saw this random saying online and wrote

it down and computer generated it and cut it

out with my Tags A Lot die by Mama Elephant.

Happy Mother's Day.....

Thank God it's FRIDAY!!!!!!!

I LOVE Friday's and I especially 

Love 4 O'clock on a Friday!!! Because

that's when my 40 hr work week ends and I

can go have some fun.  I need to stop by Hobby

Lobby after work today as I have been working on 

these Mother's Day cards and I have run out of Vellum!!!!

I am actually excited that I am getting a jump start on 

the next upcoming holiday, Mother's Day!!!!  Now with no

holidays this month I can maybe get a little a head on some

Birthday card making too!  I won't hold my breath tho.....

Soooo I received my Simon Says Stamp card kit of the month

for April last week and decided to play around with the stamp

set some.  I know Mother's Day is coming up so thought I 

would get a jump on it and make something for it.  This is what I

came up with:

I softened the look by placing a die cut piece of vellum

over the front of my main panel.  Most of my Stampin' Up

stamp pads seem to be no good lately so I resorted to using

my Tim Holtz distress inks to ink this stamp set up.  I like

the end result and I hope the mom's I send these out to do too!!
