Let´s BBQ - Happy Birthday

 I have had so much fun creating cards lately, this is one of my newest Birthday cards. I wanted to create a bit of a more masculine card so I decided to make a night sky and a bbq party. I heat embossed the star signs from Upon a Star with white embossing powder.

 Couldn´t decide if the bear and dear needed birthday hats or not. What do you think? Should I add hats?

I have coloured with ProMarkers and then fussy cut the images since I didn´t have all of the coordinating dies. 

I also used the tent die from Build a campsite.

Stamps I have used:

Upon a Star

Party Animal

Mom + Me

Crazy Antics

Oh Gnome

Let´s BBQ

Dies I have used:

Build a Campsite

Stitched Hillside Borders

Grassy Hillside Borders

Simple Stitched Hillside Borders

Mushroom Border

Happy Father´s Day

 Happy Sunday Everyone!

Today I have played with Let´s BBQ from Lawn Fawn. I also used a few different mice from some other stamp sets from Lawn Fawn. My Father likes to cook on the bbq so I thought this stamp set would fit to make a Father´s Day card for him.

I wanted the card to be a bit more masculine then the normal LF cards I make, so I decided to stamp straight to craft cardstock and then colour with some Faber Castell pencils. It was fun to use another colouring medium than normal, but also a bit difficult since I´m not so used to these. What do you think? Do you like it or not?

Since I stamped straight on to the craft cardstock I needed to mask my stamps to give the card a perspective and not to look to flat.

I also made the gingham patter by hand using a promarker pen. Think it turned out really cool! I then heat embossed the sentiment and the 2 hearts with white embossing powder on some black paper.

Stamps I used:

Let´s BBQ (bbq ,food items)

A Creature was Stirring (mice bottom)

Really Hight Five (mouse top)

S'more the Merrier (steam)

You Goat This (sentiment + heart)

Dies I used:

Outside in stitched rectangle stackables

You are sublime (seaweed made into cactus)

Mermaid for you (rock)

Home for the holidays (presents)

Merry Mice (little present)

I´m back after a week spent on the west coast of Sweden. I had such a wonderful time, great weather, fishing crabs, walking on smooth rocks, eating ice cream and drinking one (or two) glasses of wine...

I have used some different stamp sets to make this card:

How you Been?

Joy to All

Furry and Bright

Tiny Gingerbread

Floating by to say.... have a magical Birthday!

 Have just made a Birthday card for the challenge over at Lawn Fawnatics Challenge. Their theme is Summertime Fun. I have combined a few different stamp sets and had so much fun making this.

I used some shimmer powder to make the water. It´s such a shame that you can´t see how it shimmers, it´s so pretty!

I have used stamps from Pool Party, Life is Good and Dream Big. I coloured with ProMarker and then cut them out with the coordinating dies.

Here is another image:

On the inside I have stamped: Have a magical Birthday!
