Star Spangled Birthday

In our family July is a big birthday month. Several of the nieces and nephews were born around 4th of July.  So when it comes time to create birthday cards the red, white and blue are my favorite colors to use on their cards.

The ColourQ Challenge #90,  Off the Wall Challenge #56,  and the JUGS challenge this week use the same color scheme and patriotic 3D theme.  This helped me finish off two birthday cards for my nephews. (I made this card twice for them both).

Very clean and simple card:

The stamps include: Stampers Anonymous - Psychedelic Grunge CMS 056 and a Happy Birthday Sentiment from Inkadinkado.  My 3D for the Jugs challenge is the stars are popped with the buttons attached. The stars are edged in red. The stamp was inked up in several shades of blue.

Hope you have some fun plans for the weekend.

Happy Father's Day! (A week early)

The JUGS challenge this week is to use a fun wood grain technique. Father's Day is coming up and I decided to use the technique to create a card for my DH.  And while I was making father's day cards I created one for my Dad.

Here is the card using the wood grain technique from Gina K.

This card is for my DH. He really deserves it!  He is so handy and fixes the kids toys all the time when they are broken.

The images and sentiment are all Hero Arts.  The wood grain was created with kraft cardstock, white acrylic paint and Ranger Distress Ink Vintage Photo.

The second card is for my dad.  Growing up my dad was always in a suit and this handsome fella from the Artistic Outpost Gatsby plate reminds me of my dad. 

 Have a wonderful weekend! I am hoping the sun will break through the fog later.
