Mickey Mouse Thinlits Circle Birthday Card

Okay, everyone, time has really passed by this time around. Part of the reason, once again, is this basement has been too cold to take the time to even be down here for long to get anything done. Some of the other reason is I am tired a lot of the time and I just want to sit and relax.
Finally, I am sharing a card with the Mickey Mouse theme. My grandson turned 2 years old, sad to say, a few weeks ago. Yes, that is how long I have had this card done. I have another card I made for my husband that was done even a little longer ago than this one. When the weather gets warmer and this basement isn't so cold, I am planning on getting more accomplished. I have a lot of new things to play with, believe me.

 Stampin' Up! supplies needed to create this card:
Cardstock: Basic Black, Real Red, Daffodil Delight, and Whisper White
Stamp Set: Sketched Birthday
Ink: Real Red and StazOn Black
Stampin' Markers: Daffodil Delight, Real Red, and Chocolate Chip
Tools: Big Shot, Thinlits Circle Card, Itty Bitty Banners Framelits, 1 3/8" Circle Punch, Decorative Dots Embossing Folder

Once again, I am sorry it has been so long since I have posted. I hope you will continue to bear with me until we start having more warm weather and this basement isn't unbearable. Thanks so much for stopping by.

Sketched Birthday Card

Hello, blogger friends. Thanks for taking the time to take a look at my card/papercraft creations. I really appreciate all of my visitors. I just pray that my work leaves you with inspiration to create with paper and stamps yourself. When working with stamps I say, "If you can color, you can stamp!"
The card I am sharing with you, today, was created for my grandson who just turned 4 years old. I chose 4 slices of cake because it represented how old he was turning. Another thing I did, I took the saying "happy birthday, cupcake" and only used the happy birthday part from the stamp set "Sketched Birthday." I did not think "happy birthday, cupcake" was an appropriate saying for a little boy or man for that matter. I did like the fact that it was in an arched formation. Once I stamped that, I added the number 4 using the stamp set "Memorable Moments." With that all said, this is how it turned out.

These are the Stampin' Up! products you will need to create this card.
Stamp sets: Memorable Moments and Sketched Birthday
Cardstock: Always Artichoke, Cajun Craze, Night of Navy, Cherry Cobbler, So Saffron, and Whisper White
Tools: Big Shot, Squares Collection Framelits, Houndstooth and Chevron Embossing Folders, 1 3/8" and 1 1/4" circle punches, Stamp-a-ma-jig, Stampin' Write Markers, and a Stampin' Sponge

This card needed to be very colorful because it was made for a child, as well as, it was for a birthday.

Happy Dirt Day Blake!!

Today is a very special day for a very special little boy. It is my grandson's 2nd birthday! Can you tell by what is on the card what he likes to pay with? He loves trucks and cars. He likes to line them up in a row (like a train) and by size too! His birthday party was Sunday. My daughter said he kept saying, "Wow!" Yesterday morning when he got up he was still saying, "Wow!" Yep, so cute.
On to the card. I made this card using the Stampin' Up! stamp set "I Dig You." I thought this was the best stamp set to use for Blake. For card stock I used naturals white and crumb cake. I used early espresso, daffodil delight, bashful blue classic ink, and black staz on ink. For tools I used a stampin' sponge and the color spritzer tool. This card was a lot of fun to make. It has quite a few layers. I cut out each of the trucks and tractors to try and make this card look as realistic as possible. It was lots of fun to make, especially since it was for someone very special to me.

Thanks so much for visiting my little section on this wide world of blogging. I would love to know what you think. Please leave a comment.

This is card number 3 from my manly card class. I think we decided this would be really good to give to a little boy though. I really didn't think about it when I was making it. I am sure there are some men that would like it also.

My next post will be my "pink manly card." You will all have to be sure and tell me what you think. I would love to see you join in and make a "pink manly card" too. Please leave me your blog address in the comments if you do.
