Wild About Birthdays

Hi Crafty Friends,
This card is inspired by the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #225 Let's Go Wild. I used Lawn Fawn Wild About You Stamp set with a playful mix of bright greens, oranges, and fun animal prints to create a cheerful Lawn Fawn Reveal Wheel Die scene perfect for sending birthday smiles. From the party hats to the happy little animals, this card is proof that birthdays are always better with a little wild fun!

Love is a Four Legged Word

Hi Crafty Friends,
I am sharing a card for all my dog lovers. I colored up this darling girl to match my niece, Annie and their dog Josie (see picture below). This cute stamp is from Stamping Bella called Tiny Townie Dawn Loves Her Dog with the fun heart background using Thermoweb Heart To Heart Toner Sheets with Thermoweb Decofoil Sheet Aqua.  

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: Are you a dog person or a cat person?
A: Me? DOG!

I used a small polkadot teal pattern paper as my base and added a larger polkadot 1 inch strip toward the bottom. I chose these polkadot papers to match my foiled hearts background. 

I wanted the foiling to shine through so I place the puppy and girl to the bottom left so you could see the shine of the hearts. I finished my card with the cute sentiment diagonally placed in the left corner.

Supplies:

Happy Birthday All Star

Hi Crafty Friends,
It's always hard to make boy cards especially teens. Scrap Diva Designs has the perfect die for teen boys, Converse Mini Album Die. It's a Converse All Star inspired die but could be turned into any brand your boy loves. I made a Philadelphia Sixers inspired show for my nephew for his birthday because it's his favorite team. The Happy Birthday Die is Stamplorations Skinny Sentiments Dies.

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: What is your favorite basketball team?
A: Me? Chicago Bulls
