Happy Belated Birthday Card

 Yippee Yahoo! Timothy has created a belated birthday for you, in case life has been a little busy to get one done before the birthday. Anyone getting a card this nice wouldn't mind if it were a little late.

Timothy started with a dark brown card. He distressed a printed card.

You can distress paper by rubbing it on your scissors or using a distress tool. 

He stamped the Tin Star on the background.

The saying, Birthday Fun was stamped and cut out with a die. He sponged an Ocure color around the edges.

Horse Hanging On was stamped, colored, and cut out. He hung this cute horse behind the Happy Birthday. How can you not smile looking at him?

The Little Behind saying was stamped and sponged on the edges.

Stamps Used:

Tin Star

Birthday Fun

Horse Hanging On

Little Behind

We hope you like the card and find it inspiring!

A Farm-Themed Card for a Big Weekend

   Hi Everyone, Dalis here!

It’s very possible that our upcoming trip to Iowa State University is behind my sudden streak of farm-themed cards! We’re heading into a new chapter with our daughter, and I created this special card just for her as we kick off orientation weekend.

“Geezer,” our wild cowboy stamp, takes center stage on this one—he’s just the right kind of character to make it clear that this weekend is all about her. I did a bit of masking magic to customize the sentiment, stamping “It’s Your Day” on the front and saving the punchline—“Milk it for all it’s worth!”—for the inside, alongside Bridgette the Cow, of course.

The background paper has this perfect worn-denim texture that instantly reminded me of a good ol’ pair of cowboy jeans. All the cowboy details and the barn were colored using alcohol markers for a rich, vibrant finish.

It’s a playful, heartfelt card for a moment full of excitement, nerves, and so much pride. Off to new adventures we go!
