QKR Stampede Challenge #180 Birthday Cards



Hard to believe it's the last Friday of February already and time for a new challenge at QKR Stampede!  This week our challenge is Birthday Cards.  I chose image #9805 Thirty.  Our nephew will be 30 in a couple months and I thought this would be perfect for him!  I imported the image into Silhouette Studio, added Happy Birthday and "th", then printed it out.  I printed the image again on DP from The Paper Studio Glasses, Staches & Ties and cut it out to paper piece over the 30.  I colored in the beak, feet, and eyes with copics, added glossy accents to his eyes, and Vintage Photo distressing ink on all the edges.  Blue cs from Craft Smith blue paper pad.

Sheila's 50th Birthday Card




My SIL will be 50 next month and this is the card I made for her!  Her name is Ruby Tidbits I Don't Think So and she was a freebie a few weeks ago at Bugaboo Stamps.  The layout is for Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 sponsored by Bugaboo!  I colored her with copics, platinum stickles on her glasses frame, silver wink of stella for the lenses, and pearls that I colored with copics for her earrings. CS from The Paper Studio and the others from Doodlebug Design.  Flowers and centers I bought at a Scrapbook Convention and sentiment was a feebie I've had for sometime but not sure where I got it from ( if you know please tell so I can give them credit!).  SB large circle die and large scalloped die.

QKR Stampede Challenge #179 - Pile It On/Use It Up




Time for another new challenge over at QKR Stampede and this week is to Pile It On/Use It Up.  I chose image #16913 Stack of Pigs and image #11204 Hog Heaven.  Aren't they just the cutest ever?!?!  I printed them twice and cut out the bottom pigs head and popped it up to make it look like she's hanging over the edge.  They are colored with copics, cut out with Lawn Fawn large stitched oval die, and the mat was cut out on my Cameo.  Layout out is the monthly sketch at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps.  Striped and circle paper are from the Rose Colored Glasses Collection at g.c.d. Studios, flower vine is Cherry Pie from Recollections - both I have had for a long time, and black cs from The Paper Studio.  I printed and cut out the sentiment on my Cameo along with the banners.  Pink gem is from my stash.
