  • Happy Birthday to Rick!

    Posted on by Julie 87 Comments

    Welcome to a Special ODBD Birthday Blog Hop! Today we are saying HAPPY BIRTHDAY to RICK!

    If you’ve been to one of the Stamp Shows or conventions, then you’ve probably seen Rick in the ODBD booth. Rick is Kelley’s husband and number one fan and today is his birthday!

    For my birthday card, I used the new Special Boy set. I figured this set was about as masculine as they get and works well for big boys as well as little boys. I made the background for the largest layer and truck image by swiping various colors of Copic markers across a piece of vanilla card stock. Then the truck image and tire tracks were stamped on top of these using the dk brown chalk ink. I fussy cut the truck and attached it to a deckled rectangle of vanilla to give it a bit of separation. The metallic bronze layer was embossed w/ a Sizzix folder and the sentiment was die cut and attached to a leftover strip of the background with small bronze brads. Since I wanted to have crossed checkered flags, I stamped one as usual and stamped one again on the plastic sheet of my SAMJ (stamp-a-ma-jig) then quickly pressed a piece of vanilla c/s on top to get the reverse image.

    Thanks so much for stopping by! Happy Birthday, Rick!

    This is also for the Sketch Challenge (SC418) on Splitcoast today. As usual, I rearranged it a bit and turned it on its side.

    And Happy Sunday!

    I made this quick and easy Father’s Day card yesterday but didn’t have a chance to post it until today.  I love these little scenic images from Stampendous and recently acquired several of them This one, I think, makes a terrific Dad card and it was so easy to quickly color in with markers.  This is also for one of the Splitcoast VSN (Virtual Stamp Night) challenges, JUN12VSNG, Journey of the Seas.

    The card is 5.50 x 4.25 and I wanted a cool font for the sentiment but found I only have a few Father’s Day greetings in my collection, so I computer generated it, trimmed it to size and used a long rectangle die to cut the window.  I used a dot border embossing folder and a stylus to add the raised dots at the bottom.

    Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great Father’s Day!

    Supplies:

    Stamps: Stampendous
    Paper: Neenah white
    Ink: Ancient Page coal
    Accessories: Tombow markers, water brush, Spellbinders long rectangle die, Cuttlebug dot border embossing folder (With Love set), stylus

    For my card, I stamped and water colored both of the images  ( Light of Life and Sweet Friendship) and used my out of the box Nestie technique to die cut it using a Spellbinders labels 18.  I added an extra cut out lantern on top of the base image for a little dimension.  On the frame, I cut the inside out and attached the quote  (from Spread Light) behind it.

    The top background was done with a Cuttlebug distressed stripe embossing folder. I inked the top side of the folder using the Memento inks before I ran it through the Grand Calibur.  On the bottom, I stamped the Honeycomb Background on the dk brown c/s w/ the cocoa ink. It reminded me of chicken wire and I thought that would fit in w/ my rustic looking card. Two screw head brads complete the 4.25 x 5.50 card.
