Party Penguins

This card features the adorable Party Penguins stamp by Great Impressions.  It was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic Markers (BG15, R14, YR04, and YG63).  The greeting is from a set called “Happy Birthday to You” by Gina K Designs.  The white cardstock was cut with a die from the Spellbinders “Pierced Rectangles” set (#SCD-012) and mounted on Gina K Designs Jelly Bean Green and a sheet from the GKD “Made With Love” patterned paper pack.

My triplets turned 17 today.  According to the Motion Picture Association, they can now see “R” rated movies without supervision, and according the the state of New Jersey, they can now get their drivers’ licenses.  They are juniors in high school and will be applying to colleges soon.  I can’t believe how quickly they have grown, but luckily, they are still fun-loving and young at heart, and we still get to enjoy them being “kids” a little longer!  I made this card for Kelly (she loves penguins) and the cards in my previous two posts for the boys. (The monkey card was for Keith, and the elephant card was for Kevin.)  I immediately thought of each of them when I saw these stamps, and they loved the cards. Even as teens in high school and as young adults, I guess they are still enjoying their “inner kid” too!!

(Keith, Kelly, and Kevin the day they came home from the hospital)

For this week’s Mod Squad Challenge, we are encouraged to create a project using hearts and/or flowers.  For this card, I used patterned paper with hearts on it.  (Sadly, this site is no longer active.)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KELLY!

Elephant Birthday Wishes

I used the Elephant with Kite stamp from Great Impressions and masked the kite so I could add a birthday balloon instead.  The single balloon was part of a trio of balloons on a stamp from the “Happy Birthday to You” set by Gina K Designs.  These were stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic Markers (elephant:  YR00, W1, W3, W5; balloons:  YR000, YR00, Yr04) and a Faber Castell White Pitt Pen.  The greeting is from the “Just Fore You” stamp set by C. C. Designs.  The white cardstock was cut with a die from the Spellbinders “Pierced Rectangles” set (#SCD-012) and mounted on Gina K Designs Blue Lagoon and a sheet from the GKD “Made With Love” patterned paper pack.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KEVIN!

Stamped and Sponged Masculine Birthday Card

Over at the Mod Squad Challenge this week, we are encouraged to make a Masculine Birthday card.   (Sadly, this site is no longer active.)  I’ve not participated in a challenge in quite some time and have been struggling with getting back into the card-making mood so I thought I’d give this one a try!  I decided to go with a “back to basics” approach with some basic sponging and stamping.

For my background panel, I sponged Memento Warm Cocoa, Toffee Crunch, and Gina K Blue Denim inks on a piece of white card stock.  The mask I used to create the border pattern on the left is from a set called “Borderline Masks” by Tim Holtz.  I used the Warm Cocoa ink to stamp a portion of the “Musical Collage” stamp by Hero Arts onto my inked panel along with some speckles with a stamp from the Tim Holtz “Visual Artistry Collection Nature’s Elements” stamp set.  The greeting is from the “Pleasant Plurals” stamp set (retired?) by Gina K Designs.  In addition to the white card stock for my base, I also used a few sheets from a paper pack called “Neutrals” by Recollections.  A piece of twine finished off my card.
