Very Versatile Thank You + Free Digi Stamp

Last Wednesday, we went to see the circus in Coney Island. We were 6 rows from the front in the already small arena in Coney Island. It was a great show for the $10 that we paid. My parents loved it and we've never seen animals so obedient. People say that they mistreat their animals, but we didn't notice any signs of that. Though they used a whip on the floor, they never harmed the animals. Here is the only picture I took there when they allowed cameras.

The card that I want to talk about today is very versatile--it is mature, unisex, and can be used for a variety of occasions. The first 2 photos show how it changes under different light and the last photo is what I did to the interior.

For the front:
-Double-sided adhesive tape (heat safe)
-Stickopotamus vellum stickers of leaves
-1.25" square of white card stock
-1.50" square of designer card stock
-Green pigment ink to ink all the corners
-Designer card stock
-White card stock for the card base (will stand 6"x4")
-Tape runner adhesive

For the inside:
-"Thank you" stamp
-Perfect pearls in green
-brush
-Watermark ink
-Green and white colored paper
-Border punch of your choice

If you'd like me to send you the digi stamp (he is about 1.5"x 2" if you don't adjust the image), please post a comment in the comments section of this blog post only. I will not spam you. Please allow 24 hours for me to get it to you.

Easy Chipboard Die-cut Card

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend as it is coming to an end. =( My boyfriend and I baked this wonderful zucchini bread this afternoon. I'm extra happy because it came out so well and it was my first ever attempt at baking bread! =))))))

I have here for you an extremely quick and easy boys birthday card. It requires no patterned paper as you will be creating your own background with the cardstock. It's very tricky for many card makers to make "boy-themed" cards in general. You'll want to be careful with your colors--I'm sure that would've been one of the first things that came to mind. I chose darker colors--a forest-y green-colored cardstock to start things off.

I used a Cuttlebug embossing folder (which I pre-inked with silver) for the background and glittered select areas of the background to give it some sparkle.


Stars are a great unisex shape to use for guys, so that's what I went for. Finally, I topped it off with the numbers 21 that I purchased from a set of chipboard stickers (your choice).

*This is also a great card for your kids to make on their own!

 Stay cool and have fun,
