My last birthday card for the month!  This card is for my older brother.  He's an avid White Sox fan so I decided to make him a card based off of that!  I found the logo online and converted the .jpg file into an .svg file.  I converted it into 3 cuts and cuts them out on Sure Cuts A Lot.  The happy birthday was also cut using Sure Cuts A Lot and shadowed as well.  

The inside sentiment was printed on a piece of designer paper found at Hobby Lobby.  The second sox logo was also a .jpg converted to an .svg file and cut out with sure cuts a lot. I don't know what I'd do without that program!

A card for my older sister for her birthday!  Nice and very simple, just to highlight the sheet music paper I picked up in a scrapbooking store in my travels.  The sentiment is printed onto kraft paper, and I just lightly stamped the paper with metallic inks from the Martha Stewart teardrop ink pads.  I added brads and that's it!

I made the envelope using my Martha Stewart scorboard and lined the inside with the same paper.  Nice elegant card for my older sister.

Quick card for my brother-in-law for his birthday!  I have a lot of birthday's coming up this month so I have to get cracking on the card making!  The cake is cut from the Smiley "cartridge".  The Smiley cartridge was a special download for the Gypsy, and it has a ton of really really cute cuts.  I made him a red velvet cake with white frosting since it's his favorite and the sentiment was printed from the computer.  Nice simple card with some stickles on the flame.

The cardstock for the base was using the charcoal cardstock from Papertrey Ink that I just purchased.  It's so lovely as a base since it's so heavy, I'm so glad I purchased it (in black and white as well)!

I don't care what anyone says, when you're in the baseball world, wedding season is not in the summer, it's between late October and January.  The reason why is because baseball season is during the summer, and when your husband has a baseball game every single day (literally, one off day per 28-31 days!), there's really no time to have a wedding or honeymoon!  So the couple who I made the engagement card for awhile back  (Jay, Topher's teammate and his fiancee Jenny) just got married up in Washington, and we made them a congratulations card using their wedding colors.  The stamp is a digital stamp from The Greeting Farm collection, the heart and just married sign are from the Sweethearts cartridge.

I used the Martha Stewart scor-board to give a subtle border to the card as well as made a envelope for it.  For the envelope I just used regular white cardstock and patterned paper from Hobby Lobby.  

I colored the background behind the couple with a pale pale pink copic (I believe it was 000) and popped the flower in her hair.  I outlined her wedding dress with stickles to give it some sparkly (when I make a card for a girl I jump at the chance to use stickles!).  The couple are very blonde blonde, (her moreso then him) so I decided to color them in to reflect that.

I printed a sentiment on red cardstock using my computer and glued it to the inside.  The lentils comment is because their hometown is known for Lentils!    Hope you enjoyed this card as much as I enjoyed making it!  Here's a picture of the beautiful couple!

Birthday for my niece who turned 6!  She lives in San Diego and had a pirate mermaid party so I decided to make her card with that theme.  The stamps are from The Greeting Farm, Pirate Ian and Mermaid Anya.  I colored them in with Copics and popped dotted them up on two backgrounds that were digital papers that I don't remember where I got it from.  I did a terrible job stamping happy birthday and the ribbon was plain white ribbon that I colored with Copics to match the paper.

Each of the stamps were fussy cut after I colored them.  I colored the mermaid's hair to mimic my niece's hair and I stickled some strands of gold and added adhesive gems where the pearls were to give it some interest.  I stickled her shells and her tail to add more sparkly since every little girl loves glitter!  

Here's he birthday girl with her cake!

It's been so long but I've been so busy with moving again.  I've taken a new job as the athletic trainer for the University of South Alabama's Baseball team.  Haven't had much time to be making cards and haven't had a chance to organize my scrapbooking material to easily make cards.

This card was as a thank you for my dentist back home in California.  He's been wonderful and so I wanted to thank him for everything he's done.  He's an avid surfer so I decided that I would take the Surfing Riley and make him into a surfing dentist moose!  The colors I chose were based off of the pattern paper I found at a hobby lobby and the green paper up top was cuttlebugged with the leaf folder. I drew in the toothbrush and cut out a little tooth to put in his hooves, and the sentiment was from papertrey ink.  I added some white souffle pen marks on the waves and then just stickled the wave.

Quick little card I made for Topher's sister's 19th birthday.  This card ended up being a lot tinier than I thought!  I think I cut the giraffe (off the Create a Critter cartridge) out at 1 1/2 inches, and the card is 2x2 inches.  Poor Topher had to really squish his handwriting to fit it all in.  I cuttlebugged the pink with the floral folder and borderpunched it with the martha stewart border punch.  Ribbon was from the dollar bin and I just stickled the border to give it some sparkle!  His sister is very girly and loves pink and black.
