WOYWW #216 - Personalized Birthday Card

Hi, guys! Hope all is well!  Today is Wednesday, and you know what that means!  I am sharing what is on my work desk with you!  Thank you to Julia of Stamping Ground for this desk-hopping (snooping) fun!

Today I am working on a personalized birthday card for a 3-year-old boy.  I decided to use this set of stamps that are letter stamps shaped like animals.  I also decided to use various animal print stamps for the background.  Lots of inks of various colors on my desk today as well.

You will see I have a Diet Pepsi on my desk.  It sure has been hot, so no hot tea for me!

I plan to visit as many of you as I can today.  I hope the week ahead is a good one for all!

Until next time!

2 Birthday Cards - Shopping With Skyline

Hi, guys! Hope all is well.  Sorry for the lack of posts lately! Between work, the holiday and the heat, I haven't been able to sit down to create much!  This weekend I was able to have some stamping fun finally!

I had to make a birthday card for a friend who asked for a card for a girlfriend.  I remember Ann Marie (she used to work with us), so I decided to use this fun stamp by Design Design.  It shows a very stylish lady in the city (which suits Ann Marie very well).

Supplies:
Stamps: Design Design
Paper: Gina K Designs (Denim Blue and White). BoBunny
Ink: Memento Black, Distress Ink (Broken China, Faded Jeans)
Misc.: Oval Punches, Eye Glass Brad, Wink of Stella

I decided to use the same stamp for my girlfriend Eva's birthday.  She is very stylish and is a city gal.

Supplies:
Stamps: Design Design
Paper: Stampin' Up, BoBunny
Ink: Memento Black Copic Markers
Misc.: Oval Punches, Ribbon, Tim Holtz Label Letters, Wink of Stella

To personalize Eva's card, I decided to use my Tim Holtz label letters.  I remember when I used my label maker, now I use these stickers and love that they don't add any bulk to the project.

Thanks for visiting today.  I enjoy your visits and comments so much.  I don't take them for granted!

Enjoy the day!

More Personalized Birthdays

Hi, guys!  Hope the day is treating you well.   I thought I would share two cards I made for a friend to give for birthday celebrations she has coming up.  She asked that both be personalized with the name of the recipient.  It seems that is always a hit because the person realizes that the card was ordered and made with them specifically in mind.

Supplies:

Stamps: Stampin' Up

Paper: Stampin' Up, Ranger Specialty Stamping Paper

Ink: Versafine Black, Distress Ink

Misc.: Clear Embossing Powder, Circle Punch

Supplies:

Stamps: Stampin' Up

Paper: Stampin' Up

Ink: Versamark, Memento Black

Misc.: Cooper Embossing Powder, Oval Punch, Cooper Cord

These were fun to make and my friend was happy with the way they turned out.  She is a person who loves browns and blacks and leopard print, so I tried to use them in each of these cards.

I hope the rest of your day is a good one and that you find a few moments to do something you love.
