Don't Grow Up Birthday Card with Kindred Stamps

Are you a collector of stamp sets? I am... I just love all of the fandom stamp sets that Kindred Stamps make, but I definitely collect more than use... But thanks to the latest Craft Roulette Parameters, I brainstormed this cutie card.

The card has a "drop down" of pixie dust from my little fairy on the card - plus there are also waterfalls that are dropping down into the water (is it water if it's floating in space?) around the island. We have spring colors of yellow, green, blue and pops of rainbow! There are clouds over the island with a rainbow and finally the background is stamped with white and sparkly pixie dust.

Do you think I interpreted the parameters correctly? Let me know in the comments!

Lucille Bluth Banana Sparkle Blends Shaker Card with Ink Road Stamps

Today is my dad's birthday - he would have been 61 today and I thought I would make a silly card to remember him. When Arrested Development was on, we would joke about how much he was like Gob... A magician who had a thing for Segways! hehe! 

Although Gob Bluth would have been a good fit for this card, I just have a Lucille Bluth stamp set from Ink Road Stamps so I grabbed that with one of my favorite snarky quotes from her. I knew I had to use my Go Bananas Sparkle Blends because, well... bananas.

You can see the process down below - I hope it brings you a smile like it does me! Happy birthday, Dad! I sure miss you and love you so much.

Live Colorfully Easter Egg Card with Scrapbook.com

Okay, one more Easter card before the holiday this weekend! I created a clean and simple rainbow of Easter eggs for today's card using Distress Oxide colors and some little drops of Pops of Color. You can see how the card comes together down below! I am also sharing the new adhesives in my video - I love the different types of roller adhesives and how they can be used when crafting.

Are you ready for Easter? I have been so busy with visiting family and my sister's upcoming Bridal Shower, I didn't even send out my Easter cards in time... Guess I'm all ready to go for next year!

Color Blocked Background with Spellbinders

I was really excited when I got this really cool A2 die from Spellbinders to use called the "Color Block Southwest Etched Dies". I knew I wanted to incorporate some hot foil from Spellbinders, too. 

I used different shades of blues and teal to create my background then added a rainbow using the Rainbow Foil! I did my best to line up all the foil plates so they would be the same color across the card - I wanted the red on the left to fade into purple on the right.

You can see all of my steps to create this card in my latest Instagram Swipetorial down below!

Team Purple Prediction Halloween Birthday Card with Lawn Fawn

So I know it's not the last day of the month, but the only lace or doily item I could find was my Spider Web Doilies that I've been hoarding! This last weekend's Craft Roulette parameters were fun and I enjoyed making this quick and simple card. The four parameters were: picture frame card; our #team color (mine is purple over orange); an element of communication; and lace or a doily.

I used the picture frame die in purple cardstock and my communication is my glow in the dark sentiment from the crystal ball! Do you think I hit all the requirements? What ideas did you have for this week's parameters?

Relaxing Birthday Mini Slimline Card with Lawn Fawn

I really like this month's birthday card batch! I used Crafty Al's latest Show Us You Sheet Load card sketch and used the latest Lawn Fawnatics color challenge to inspire my mini slimline birthday cards. As always, I have been using up paper from my stash, so it is a retired background... But I think the overall layout with my stamped images from On the Beach is really cute and can be duplicated.

Do you like making batches of cards? I am really building up a good stash of cards and It's going to be great for selling or gifts at the end of the year!
