Hybrid Birthday Card

ABOUT THE PHOTO:
This photo of Natalie paired perfectly with the card sentiment I wanted to give to her Grandma! Natalie had just eaten some pickled vegetable roots that Chris bought... and she loved them! She kept asking for more, but still kept making that face after each bite haha!

CARD DESIGN:
I used a layered template by Shanna Noel for Studio Calico that was offered a few months ago.

MY PROCESS/PRODUCTS USED:
I changed the color from blue to a lime green by changing the hue (Chris picked the color). Then I added some extra text using the font used in the template, which was called Permanent Marker and printed it on glossy photo paper. Finally, I just added some black stars from the Studio Calico Cuppa kit from last year.

Congrats Card

This is a card I made for a girlfriend who moved into her own apartment!! I just wanted to make something simple to say congrats and how cool it is for her :)

I used this card sketch from this month's sketch challenge over at Studio Calico that was based on some cards made by Stephanie Dagan!

I used my Silhouette to personalize the card and cut the main portion plus the word "awesome" by Ali Edwards.

I stamped with a stamp from the Sock Hop kit by Studio Calico and grabbed a wood veneer circle frame also by Studio Calico to use on top. The papers were from last year's Boardwalk kit!

WCMD: Baby shower card!

World Card making day was yesterday, which I spent all day long making... 2 cards! Haha! Not very productive, but oh well, these cards were made with love!! This card is for my BFF growing up, who announced the genders of their twins by posting that little picture of baby girl and boy shoes to Facebook!! I shrunk the photo and printed it out for this card!

I made this card for this challenge over on Studio Calico, which was to create a card based on a DT member's LO. I headed to April Foster's gallery and drew inspiration from her Hello layout here! I specifically drew from her gallery because she always has such lovely baby layouts with her little ones!

The colors from the photo just went perfectly with the colors in pieces of the Roller Rink kit from Studio Calico that I just got in the mail the other day! I don't have a Silhouette, so I drew out the sentiment in cursive then cut it out with my Fiskars finger tip knife. I added the potty people stamp from the Amy Tangerine Ready Set Go set and the fabric button from the Dear Lizzy collection.

WCMD: Thank You card!

Happy World Card Making Day!! Yes, that's right, today is World Card Making Day and I am (trying) to take advantage of it to catch up and hopefully catch ahead on some cards I need to make! Studio Calico posted a bunch of inspiration and challenges on their blog, so this card is based off this first sketch here:

Last weekend we went to the season opener of the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra (RPO) with free tickets we got from Chris' aunt and uncle! The show was actually a special event, with a tribute band to the Beatles who sang and even looked like the Beatles, except with a FULL orchestra behind them! If you listen to a bunch of their songs, there is a full orchestra in the background that was recorded separately - my favorite part was when they played Penny Lane and the guy in the RPO played that solo part on the piccolo trumpet, WOW!

So this card is for Chris' aunt and uncle who gave us the tix!

I used papers and the enamel dots that came in the Roller Rink kit from Studio Calico, the button and twine are from the 35mm kit and the speech bubble thank you stamp is also from Studio Calico!
