I Hope Your Birthday Rocks!

Hello!  Today is my hubby's birthday.  He is a lover of music.  That really is an understatement.

I made him a simply, grungy music card with one of my favorite Unity Stamp Co. sets, Skip A Beat.  Scott actually gave this set to me as a gift at Christmas time.  He has good taste, doesn't he?  

To grunge up the card I just gave it a tiny crinkle and then sanded it down and dusted it.  Stamped the funky styled sentiment right onto the textured Core'dinations Cardstock.  Also stamped the record player on the back, smoother side, of more Core'dinations.  

Happy birthday Scott!!!! Love you!  ~Kate

Imagine. Dream. Fly

Happy Monday! I had just a bit of free time to create yesterday morning before we took off to Lacrosse and then to Soccer.  I made good use of that free time by creating a birthday card for a lovely lady, so I am kicking off this week with a sweet card.   

I have been loving yellow and blue together lately. Any hue of blue.  I used Powder Puff Chalking Ink in Lemonade to stamp the feathers.  This color perfectly mimicked the yellow in the patterened paper.  The Chalking Ink also gave them a soft look which I love.

Supplies:

Cardbase ~ Paper Trey Ink

Blue & Black Cardstock ~ Core'dinations

Paper ~ Crate Paper

Stamps ~ Unity Stamp Co.

Powder Puff Chalking Ink ~ Quick Quotes

Wood Bird ~ Studio Calico

Glue ~ Helmar Premium Craft Glue

Have a great week!

Skip A Beat

Itty-bitty cards are so awesome! 

Itty-bitty cards inspire me to stay true to my style, sweet & simple.

My dear hubby, Scott, bought me this "Skip A Beat" stamp set for Christmas,

along with several other stamps from Unity Stamp Co.

I stamped the record image on kraft cardstock in black Archival Ink.

The sentiment and the heart are stamped on washi tape.

When stamping on washing tape you need a very steady hand,as not to smear your image.

 I highly recommend using Fiskar's Stamp Press to help you do this!

A single Helmar Zapdot  was used to give my heart a bit of dimension. 

This itty-bitty card is for Moxie Fab World's "Make An Itty Bitty Card Challenge"

and for The Paper Players Challenge #129: Clean & Simple Sketch. 

I think some more ittty-bitty cards are in my near future!
