I Brake for Chef Charlotte ....

Hello I Brake for Stamps fans !!

It's Crystal here and today I have a Birthday card using Chef Charlotte , she is from the humorous Senior line  over at I Brake for Stamps online store . I love making Birthday card because that is the most needed card of all cards I make , and this image makes up such a cute card and simple to color , i used grays and a lightest blue to make the white in her outfit , and if you look close enough you will see the candle glow on her  , my card base and the bow are from the Silhouette online store and the Happy Birthday is a die cut from Sizzix .

Thanks for stopping in ,I hope this card has inspired you to get inky with some rubber stamps today , for this image and so many more visit the IBFS store  .

I Brake For Chocolate Martinis!

Hello everyone! Today I'm sharing a re-purposed champagne bottle. I love getting on Pinterest and browsing.  One day I stumbled onto a recipe for Reese Peanut Buttercup martinis.  They take a little time to make but they're worth it!  I made this for a friend at work.  One of her specialties is a homemade chocolate cake with peanut butter icing so I'm sure she's going to like this.  

I used two different I Brake For Stamps images/verses on my project.  The large verse is called Best Chocolate.   The image in the little circle is a piece I cut out of Chef Charlotte.  

You can visit my blog and view the drink recipe by clicking on the photo below.

 

I Brake For Birthdays!

Happy Birthday!! 

This card is made with an absolutely great stamp from I Brake For Stamps. 

She's called Chef Charlotte and she's part of the humorous seniors line

over at I Brake For Stamps.

The embossing folder is from Cuttlebug and the candles are an old Sizzix yellow die.

 This is the first time I've used her but I see MANY, MANY for uses for her in the future.

I just love her little outfit!

  

 

Chef Charlotte

It's Holly posting today. Have you seen the Humorous Seniors stamps over at I Brake for Stamps? This is one of their newest ones called Chef Charlotte, and I can sooooooo see myself looking like this in another 20 years. LOL

I stamped Chef Charlotte and colored her with Copic markers, and then cut her out. I used the Distressed Papers technique on the designer papers in the background, and you can see where I got a little too carried away with the distressing on the upper left side. Oops! :-)

Just a little tip - you can use Copic markers to color your brads if they are not quite the right shade. I used a green Copic marker to color some yellow brads on this card. It worked out pretty good, huh?

I hope you have a wonderful week. Just a few more days til the weekend!!
