Happy Birthday to a Fungi - PPPR dt

Happy Monday!!    I hope you had a blessed Easter weekend! Today is my turn to post over on the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons' BLOG and I have a fun masculine birthday card to share with you today.

For my card I used the following files from Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons -

"Fungi" cutting files                 "Little Lamb" cutting files

"Happy Bird Day" cutting files

This fun card was created for my daughter's fiancee's 20th birthday :-)  The sentiment was computer generated.  Thanks for stopping by today!!

Krazy For Kristi W Designs Co-Hop

Join me on my Facebook Fan Page for Day 2 of the co-hop between Marjorie Ann Designs and Craftin Desert Divas.  Lots of great inspiration, new products to share AND a couple of FREE svg files for you too :-)

HB2U - Craftin Desert Divas dt post

Today is my turn to post over on the Craftin Desert Divas' BLOG and I have a cute card to share with you that I made for one of my youngest daughter's friends.  I am sure you have seen the EOS projects/cards that have been floating around in blogworld for awhile now.  I purchased several of these files and thought it would be good to use one for a birthday card.

Today's theme on the CDD BLOG is "Throwback Thursday" and I used a sentiment and tag stamp from a set that was released back in January called "Short and Sweet Tags".  I also used the coordinating svg to cut out my tag. Isn't is great that the coordinating svg sets are always free to you?  I love that and it adds more versatility with your stamp sets.  Here is a closeup of my tag and sentiment -

The cupcake file is ID#72737 in the Silhouette Online Store. I embellished it with some clear adhesive gems and embossed it with the divine swirls embossing folder.  I cut the base of my card out of heavy white cardstock to help make it sturdy and to give my daughter a place to write a birthday message to her friend on the back.  I hope I have inspired you to use some older stamps - the "Short and Sweet Tag" set is very versatile with sentiments to cover many different occasions along with tags to place them in.

You can purchase this stamp set HERE.

Tulip Happy Birthday Card - CDD linky party

Time for a new linky party over at Craftin Desert Divas. 

This time the theme is "Anything Goes"

One lucky winner will get a stamp set from Craftin Desert Divas.

One lucky winner will get a $25.00 gift certificate for regular priced files from Too Cute by Jessica.

Here is my project for the linky party -

My card was made using a cut file from My Scrapchick.  I believe it was a freebie quite some time ago but I am sure you can probably still purchase it in their store.  I thought the larger sentiments from Craftin Desert Divas "Say It Big" stamp set would work perfect in the ovals.  Since we have so many birthdays in the upcoming month I chose the birthday sentiment from the set.

I think it is handy to have some larger sized sentiment stamps and I really do get quite a bit of use out of this stamp set.

You can purchase this stamp set HERE.

Don't forget to link up your "Anything Goes" projects - you can link up HERE.  

PPPR dt - Flower Birthday Card

Happy Monday!!  Today is my turn to post on the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons' BLOG and I have a birthday card to share with you.  Our family has a lot of birthdays during the spring between friends and family and this is just one out of a handful or more that I am going to need to make :-)

I made this one for a good family friend who turned 18 so I wanted a fun and bright card.  I used Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons' "Funky Flowers" cutting files and used 2 of the 3 flowers included for my card.  I picked out bright colored cardstock and added a couple of enamel dots as well as some twine.

Well, thanks for stopping by today.  Don't forget to pick up this week's cute FREEBIE - perfect for those Easter cards/projects.
