Red, White & Blue

 Hello again, can you believe it has been two weeks since the last SOS challenge where has the time gone, well here we are again with a new challenge Red, White & Blue, the predominant colours should be a combination of these three colours.  I made a red & white card last challenge and the leftover cardstock was still on my desk. 

The first thing I did was look for red, white and blue patterned paper and I had a Martha Stewart valentine paper pad that has to be over 5 years old once that was settled I had to pick a festive stamp set and I picked a NBUS Stampin'up salebration set from 2017.  This will be a good card for the troops drive my local craft store is sponsoring. I fussy cut the truck and the cupcakes (they were not easy). I added three red enamel dots which I made many years ago. 

Sorry the fussy cutting isn't stellar but I now have located my good snips. the truck is elevated and all three cupcakes are popped up. 

Finished the inside with leftover patterned paper and a scrap of red die cut, I use a lot of scraps when they get left on the desk.

 

I am entering this in:

Seize the Birthday ~~ Anything Goes

Thanks for visiting today and head over to the SOS blog and check out the great cards.

Happy Canada Day to my Canadian friends (July 1)

Happy 4th of July to my American friends 

Level Up!!

 No matter what age a Birthday card recipient is if they love video games they will love to receive a "gamer card".  I made the card for my great granddaughter's 14th birthday, it is a full slimline card which was perfect to add some "coloured" greenbacks, as with all teens cash is the only way to go. 

Since Pokemon is a favourite I added a picture I found free on google, although it's not very clear I embossd the yellow layer with an embossing folder from the TH crazy cat set. The design is a mixture of everything I saw while searching. The tv is flat attached at the basee but elevated  The controller is flat attached but the head set is popped  up.

Finished the inside with a couple of game boy  controllers and a favourite sentiment.

I'm adding this to:

Seize the Birthday ~~ #257 for a child (where gaming is involved everyone is a child.)

Thanks for stopping by today to see what I've been making.

New Challenge at Clear it Out Tuesday!!!

The challenge at Clear it Out Tuesday is something we all need more of…..something for a child, and the stash item is Bright Colours. Now that should be easy peasy.. Our sponsor this week is Stamp Art by Katheryne check out her store and see the great digis she has to offer, like the one I chose for this week’s design team card.

Isn’t he cute, and his little sidekick too. I coloured the image with spectrum noir and copic markers. I added the cloud embossing to the back ground, and the sentiment is from a Studio G clear stamp set. The spellbinders I used are Large and small rectangles and fancy labels dies.

 

using up some scrap pieces this is both sides of the inside of the card.

just the cute little bug that is checking out the fishing pole.

Shopping Our Stash presents a Heavy Metal Challenge.

Challenge #140 at Shopping Our Stash is Heavy Metal, we want you to use metal on your project, it can be something from your stash, we know you have some metal there, or you could make something with metal. Not a very difficult challenge but make sure you mention what it is in your post, it makes it a lot easier for the design team to pinpoint the item.  For my card I used a Bugaboo image called Rock Star Boy, it will be a card for my grandson for his birthday (hope he isn’t reading). The metal I used is from my stash, 4 black star brads and 4 silver metal dots (I have these metal dots in a lot of colours and bought them in Jo-Ann’s when I was in Florida two years ago.

The back ground paper is from a DCWV pack, I believe the green cardstock is Gable green from SU retired. Basic black and GP white was also used. I used some paper glaze on his glasses.

Here is the inside just waiting for the sentiment. I used a scrap of the DCWV paper that was left over.
I am entering this in Glitter ‘N Sparkle challenge #73 Bright and Funky colours.
Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you will find some time to join us at Shopping Our Stash for the Heavy Metal challenge.
