Dinoroar boys cards

Hi my stamping friends!

In keeping with the masculine theme of late, I thought I would share these boys birthday cards with you all. I have used the gorgeous Dinoroar stamp set from Stampin' up! and a really simple layout and a little colouring using the blender pens.

I love quick and simple kids cards because they are not always kept but even if they are then something like this still looks special as it is handmade :)

The scoring under the dinosaurs is a simple yet effective way to add a little extra effect to an otherwise simple card.

 

 

 

Happy Stamping!

Birthday Bakery at Just add ink

There is a very delicately sweet colour combo challenge over at Just Add Ink this week. The colours are Pretty in pink, So saffron, Certainly celery and Crumb cake (used to be called Kraft).

So what a perfect opportunity for me to create a card with the equally sweet new Hostess stamp set called Birthday Bakery! My order from the new Idea Book and Catalogue landed on my doorstep yesterday so after assembling my stamps and unwrapping everything yesterday I had fun creating today! I also couldn't resist using a little of my new roll of Pretty in pink taffeta ribbon.

This was also doubly enjoyable as I was stamping this card for a good friend who lives up in the Northern Territory serving with her family up there as missionaries. It was her birthday in August but I knew of something she was excitedly wanting from the new Idea book so I am sending her a late birthday gift.
