Here's The Scoop (Nephew's Birthday Wishes)

Hi, guys! Hope all is well.  Today I am sharing a card I made for my nephew Christopher's 13th birthday.  I didn't realize that I didn't blog it and so I wanted to make sure I shared it with you.

Inside

Supplies:
Stamps: Inky Antics
Paper: Inky Antics Honey Pop Paper
Ink: Archival Black
Misc.: Tim Holtz Bingo Marker, Ribbon, Copic Markers

I can see I have been on a roll with this Honey Pop paper.  It is so fun to use, and the recipients of the cards seem to love the surprise inside.

I am blessed to have 10 nieces and nephews, and making cards for them is just so special to me.  I also enjoy stamping with them and creating together.  Soon I will be writing a post about a day when I had 4 of my nieces over for tea and stamping.

Here's hoping Christopher's 13th year is the beginning of many happy years ahead.  He is a joy and a blessing to all those who know him.

Until next time!

Happy Thanksgiving, Everyone!

Hi, guys!  Thought I would share the Thanksgiving card I made for my parents.  A little story behind this card: it was pointed out to me by my mother that I seem to have an affection for "vermin" cards.  I wasn't sure what she was talking about when she mentioned this to me, but after explaining how I make her a lot of cards with mice on them, I got her point.  I never realized how many stamps I own with various mice in various forms of dress.  So, when making my parents card I had to use this stamp set.  I am sure my mom will appreciate it.

Supplies:
Stamps: Inky Antics
Paper: Gina K Designs, Echo Park, Inky Antics
Ink: Memento Black, Stampin' Up 
Misc.: Ribbon, Copic Markers

I normally don't bother showing the inside of my cards, but since I used honey pop paper for the inside, I thought you might like to see this.  It really gives it a fun 3D look and a little surprise to the receiver.

For the leaves, instead of using a stamp for the leaves on the black paper, I used some fun leaf buttons I had in my stash.

Hope you enjoyed the card I shared today.  If you are celebrating Thanksgiving, I hope it is a joy-filled one.  I have so much to be thankful for, and I count my blogging friends and readers among them.

Until next time!
