Super Duper Birthday Card

 

Hello friends! Ericka here and I hope you have had a chance to check out the new Photopolymer stamps that were just released! There are so many great cards waiting to be made with them and today I am playing with the Birthday 2 set because you can never have too many birthday cards ready. I started by spraying my background with Lindy's Gang Starburst Sprays in Afternoon Delight Denim and Hottie Patottie Hot Pink. While the background was drying, I stamped the cake with Tea Dye Distress Ink and used some colored pencils to color it in. I fussy cut the cake out and then on my dried background gold heat embossed the sparkler for my cake. I white heat embossed the fun sentiment and then used a clear heat emboss to stamp some more sparklers around my card. I finished my card with a hand drawn border. Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have a chance to check out these great new stamps!

Winter Joy Ink Card

Hello friends! Ericka here and I hope this holiday season finds you well. It is a busy time of the year and, at least for me, sometimes I get stuck in hustle and bustle of things and forget to find the joy in the season.

I then stamped the Spruce Tree Small and Spruce Tree Tall in Versafine Clair Rainforest ink. I then stamped the Small Buck and Doe set in Versafine Clair Nocturn ink. I wanted to remind myself and other to find "joy" in all the things this season and I love the script font of the Joy Written sentiment.

Snarky Christmas Tag

Hello, crafty friends! Ericka here, and I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Today I am starting on some Christmas tags for the holiday. And as always, with every holiday, you need a little humor to get you through.
