 Another month nearly over!! And I am later today, or rather this evening! Made another set of Happy Birthday cards. These are with the Tim Holtz colorize called Celebrate. Fitting. Lets get started!

                                         

                                                         

                                        The banners below are from a sticker set
         

                                     

                This next one features Concord & 9th Heart die and stamp set. Perfect. Big Hugs, Hi, take care, celebrate you....
                                            

                                                                          

                        

    Just want to say that once you do one of the colorize dies, they really are easy! The 'colorize celebrate' comes with the cute embellishments, the candles & flames. It comes with a cake with layers, a present, a bow, 2 banners, 2 banner layers for the cake, a party hat and balloons!!

                               The heart card is on a white base. Think next time I would put it on something colorful.

                                               Thanks for looking! Stay cool

 It is evening here and TV just has too many reruns!! Just take a minute and share some 'extra' cards that I put together. These first two cards might have been a scan, although, I think they were from Just rite stamps. Yes, a long time ago. I colored with my copics and blended the edges with oxide ink.

                                

                Maybe Dotties Darlings stamped & embossed on vellum.
                 The leaf print below might be an old Magenta square.                   Not even sure I made this one!! 

                                           

                              Gold leafing. Prettier than the picture.
                                         

                  Always happy to use dies cuts that are already 'cut'.

                                         Thanks for looking!

 Hope you are still here! More from the Tim Holtz collections. This one is a botanical collage stamp. Set of four stamps. Really didn't want to stop making them!   Used the Pinkfresh candied apple inkpad. Love the red!!

                                          

                                               

               The Happy Birthday is from a new Spellbinder sentiment set. Hummingbird sentiments. The pink rose might have been inked with the Kitsch pink oxide ink.

                                         

                                             

What easy and pretty quick cards! One more to go... the background leafy edged stamp is a really old one from Judikins!

Thanks for looking!

 Just took these pictures of my 'coffee' cup cards. They are from the Tim Holtz colorize collection. It is raining today, so hopefully these will show nicely!

                                 Yes, this was easy. Hope you enjoyed

                                       Thanks for looking!

                             Lucy loves her bed. Yes, we share the room!
                                

          This is a Concord & 9th backgound  'quilt piece' die. It comes with two of the 'pieced' triangles in squares and a solid square.

The next set of dies are called 'Just Saying', also from Concord & 9th

                           And most importantly, I would like to give credit to Jennifer McGuire for the inspiration for these cards! 

                       The red one is done with paint chips. Remember collecting those? I don't recommend it as the color cracks and chips. It was fun anyway!           

                   Full background made with the 12 squares! Actually you cut quite a few, but it really is easier than it looks!

                                 Thanks for looking!
