Inky Impressions Birthday Challenge

I'm back with another GDT card for Inky Impressions. This week's challenge is all about Birthdays! Hmmm... too bad this wasn't scheduled for two weeks from now, as it will be my birthday lol! Oh well, who says you can't celebrate a little early :)

I've used the adorable Birthday Lili digi for my card. I love her! She's die cut and embossed with my new Spellbinders A2 Matting Basics A and Grand Scalloped Rectangles (smallest).

She's colored with copics: E30 31 33 34 35 37; E000 00 11 13; RV00 R81 83 85; G40 21 24 28; BG10 11 13 18 G00; B00. Glossy accents applied on the balloons, eyes and shoes; Stickles here and there for some party bling :)

I don't recall where this paper is from as it was in a scrap pile (so sorry!). The button, lace and ribbon are from my stash (I'm hittin' a home run here, huh?). But I DO know that the tag is a MS punch and the sentiment is from Papertrey :) Also the corner embellishments are an EK Success punch (Photo Corner Fancy) which has been embossed with Swiss Dots embossing folder and adorned with my (gooey from the weather) White Opal Pearl Pen.

Happy unbirthday to Me. Happy unbirthday to Me. Happy unbirthday to Me-eee. Happy unbirthday to Meeeeeeee!!! Ta Da :)

See you soon, my lovelies ♥

Hello sweet friends ♥ I'm off to go to the movies soon to see Despicable Me 2. I sure can use a good laugh!!! Those li'l guys crack me up with their giggles lol. Have you seen this movie? What movies have you seen lately?

Today's card is for Inky Impressions Summer Challenge. This is my third card as GDT for Inky Impressions. Thanks Berry Much Vicky ♥ I decided that instead of just printing out this digi and coloring it, I would create cut files and layer it.

I created the card base with layered pieces for the card front. Even the li'l cherries are layered and covered in Stickles!

I changed the color of 'thanks' and 'much' in my Silhouette software. The white dots on 'berry' were made using my white gel pen. The pearls around the scalloped circle were created with my White Opal Pearl Pen. Simple, but effective for a quick Summer Thank You :)

Would you like the cut files I used for this card? Digital image is NOT included.

Creating Cards from Digital Images

Welcome back sweet friends ♥ Do you have plans to celebrate the Fourth this year? I imagine the most we'll do is have a b-b-q. Hubby has just started driving truck for the summer season and is pretty much wiped out when he gets home! Our little puppy dog isn't interested in all the festivities...especially the loud fireworks! Yep, just call us Bah-humbugs lol.

Crafting on the other hand is definitely on the schedule :)

Well, I'm very excited to tell you that I've been asked to Guest Design for Inky Impressions for this month and next!!! I'll have a load of adorable images to showcase in the coming weeks :)

My first project as GDT with Inky Impressions is for their Red, White and Blue Challenge HERE.

This photo shows the original size of the digital July Ticket Set (4 small tickets lower left and right). I've added the colored patterns in Photoshop Elements 10.

Here are the enlarged July Tickets using print and cut feature with my Silhouette. I've layered and adhered them to the ticket card base which I also created in my Silhouette software.

To create the card base, trace the ticket image so you have just the outline, then duplicate above and weld together for your card base. I also created matching envelopes using print and cut!

Supplies Used:

July Ticket Set - Inky Impressions

Digital Paper - Pink Petticoat

Card Base - Papertrey

Cardstock for printing - Georgia Pacific

Adhesive - ScraPerfect Best Glue Ever

Stardust Stickles

Distress Inks

Ribbon, Buttons from my stash

I hope you've enjoyed my little project today :)

I'll have a darling purse and notecard set you won't want to miss in the next day or two... so stay tuned!!!

May God bless you, keep you and comfort your soul~
