I Brake for Babies!

Hello and happy Saturday!

Yesterday I had a baby shower at work and my grade level went in on a gift together.  I made the card.  I used

B is for Baby from I Brake for Stamps.

I had no idea when I made this but the plates at the shower were white with blue polka dots.

Just a fun coincidence!

I used Copic markers to color the B and rattle.

Here's the inside...

I Brake for Weddings!

Hello and happy Saturday!

Today I'm sharing a wedding card that I made for a friend's wedding last Saturday.  I didn't know her colors ahead of time so I went very neutral and pastel.  Turns out her colors were white, pink and yellow so this was perfect!

I used a CONGRATULATIONS from EVERY DAY PHRASES on the front.

On the inside I used TOASTING GLASSES and ON YOUR WEDDING. 

I Brake for my Mom's Wedding!

I Brake For Treadmill Freddie

Hi Everybody!  Regina here and I have a fun card to show you today.  I used a super cute digi from I Brake For Stamps called Treadmill Freddie.  You may remember a card I made a while back with Freddie on Harley.  There are several Freddie digital stamps.  Check them out!  I know most of you have a Scan n Cut by now so digis are no longer an issue with the fussy cutting.  

I wanted to make someone a motivational card because they have been on a diet and have lost about 10 pounds so far so I wanted to congratulate them with this cute card. 

Here's the digi, Treadmill Freddie

 

How cute is this!!!  I even cut the outside part with Scan n Cut!  I haven't played with it enough to figure out how to cut the inside parts so I just used an X-Acto knife for those 3 parts but it was really easy and I went around the edges with a black pen (love this pen!). 

I used a Tim Holtz stencil to make the water/paint splotches to add some interest and a little color.  I colored him with Copics of course.  I used a Die-Versions die at the top of the card.  I love how you can use these style dies and it keeps the sentiment out of the way but is still a large size.  I added some enamel dots, twine, googly eyes and glossy accents on the screen of the treadmill.  



Supplies:

• Recollections 110# white card stock for base

• Gina K Designs Blue Denim, Red Hot and Turquoise Sea

• Die-Versions Express Edges Die called, "You Did It"

• Tim Holtz Layers Stencil called Splatters

• Tim Holtz Tumbled Glass Distress Ink

Check out the Freddie digital stamp collection.  There is also a super cute Freddie Thanksgiving digi called, Freddie Pilgrim.

I Brake for Graduations!

Hello and happy Saturday!

I was so excited when I saw this recent release at I Brake For Stamps!  I love owls and I'm always looking for nice graduation stamps.

This one is called GRAD OWL.

The CONGRATULATIONS! verse is from EVERY DAY PHRASES.

Inside I used HAPPY GRADUATION.

This is the photo that I used for my coloring inspiration.

I Brake For Nurses!

Hello everyone!!

Today I'm sharing a card that my friend asked me to make. 

She works for the county in early intervention childhood services and they have an intern that is leaving because she got accepted to nursing school.

She asked for a card that the girls in the office could give her.

Who better to send her off to nursing school than NURSE STELLA!!

Isn't she a riot!

The school colors are green, white and black which is why I chose this paper.  I also found as I was flipping through my paper pads that I had this tan polka dot paper that looked like a band-aid.  I debossed it with my Cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder, used a corner rounder on the corners and I voila!  I had a band-aid.

This would also make a great get well card don't you think?

I kept the inside simple to give them room to sign and personalize the card.
