Minecraft Birthday

Hi, everyone!  This is a card I made for my nephew, who loves the video game, Minecraft.  Though I know absolutely nothing about the game, I found out that there are Minecraft movies on Youtube and also, was able to search and find some photos which helped me to create this pixilated 'Creeper' character.  Three different shades of green and some black cardstock were cut into 1/4" squares and adhered to a 3x3 square panel.  Ha, silly me, I thought that this would be an easy idea, but cutting and adhering all of those tiny squares took FOREVAH!!! :)  The sentiment is from 'Little Boys' by Our Daily Bread designs.  For embellishments, I used some square brads which have been in my stash for many years.

Thanks for visiting with me!

Clean and Simple Congrats!

Hi there! My nephew was chosen as Employee of the Month, so I just had to make him a card to congratulate him!  The stamp set I used is Father's Day by Our Daily Bread designs and the designer paper is also by ODBD, called the "Blooming Garden Collection".  I was searching on Splitcoast last week for some CAS inspiration and came across this awesome card by Weekend Warrior, so I have used her design for my card here.

Thanks for visiting!

Blessings,

Blessings In Blue

Hello!!  Today I would like to share a super fun card which I made for the ODBD Shining the Light "One Layer" Challenge, plus two challenges over at Splitcoast.  The Clean and Simple Challenge is to use stencils......I didn't have any metal ones, so I made one with a Chevron border punch.  The Color Challenge this week is to use Coastal Cabana, Tempting Turquoise, and Pacific Point, so I sponged the three blues through the punched chevrons onto a white panel.  Though not very visible, there are score lines from my Scor-buddy on each side of the chevrons.  The sentiment is from the "Blessings" set by Our Daily Bread designs......I use this set a lot on the inside of my cards, but I used it on the outside this time since the arrows went with the chevron theme.

Thanks for visiting with me today!
