I Brake For Uniqueness!

Hello and happy Saturday!

Today I'm sharing a birthday card that I made for my BFF's son.  He just turned 24 and I just knew that this image and these verses would be perfect for him.  He's a little bit sarcastic and quirky but he is ALL about family!

I Brake For Stamps had just what I had in mind.

I've used ONE IN EVERY CROWD on the front of the card.

On the inside I used TOUCAN WITH BERRY, 

HOLD ONTO EACH OTHER, and 

GOOD EXAMPLE.

I Brake for Swallowtail Butterflies!

Hello everyone!
Today I'm sharing another Birthday/Sympathy combo. It always happens that I get bombarded with requests at the same time. One person wants lots of birthday cards...the other one wants 5 sympathy cards. The easiest thing to do is to make duplicates that are almost the same. 

 This one was so simple, even with the cutting involved.

I used the I Brake For Stamps image Swallowtail.

 Here's the birthday version using a portion of the verse Good Example.

Isn't this butterfly gorgeous?!

Coloring it has endless possibilities.  What's your favorite combination?

I Brake For Pianos!

Hello everyone!

Today I'm sharing a birthday card with you. I sell a lot of my cards and the two biggest requests that I get are birthday and sympathy. 

 I love Pinterest and find a lot of inspiration on there.  I recently came across THIS card and thought I'd like to make it my own.

 I used 5 different I Brake For Stamps images/verses on the card.

Good Example

Best Wishes Birthday

Live, Laugh, Love

I Brake for Fine Wine!

Hello everyone!
Today I'm sharing a card made with one of my new favorite stamps from I Brake For Stamps! 

I do so love my wine and a good friend of mine does too so this will probably be her birthday card.

The image is called Wine and Grapes  and can be purchased on it's own or HERE on a full sheet of beautiful fruit stamps. Happy Birthday is part of the verse called Good Example. 

And...(it took them long enough) I can tell you that the embossing folder is Poppy by Anna Griffin for Cuttlebug because they FINALLY are printing the names on the folder!  Yay!

The grape leaves were made with punches and the vines are raffia.  The tab is a McGill punch.

I Brake For Beautiful Wildflowers

Today I'm sharing a birthday card. I wanted to try a slightly different shape so I used on of my Spellbinders Grand dies. I've used three different stamps from I Brake For Stamps.

Floral Silhouette Bouquet

Live, Laugh, Love

Good Example

 Inside I used the part I trimmed off the bottom to add some character.

I brake for birds and birthdays!

As you may know,  I really love birds.  When I started working at the school a several years ago one of the teachers bought me a suet cage, suet and a beginners bird book.  I thought,  hmmm....what do I do with these?  So I bought a pole, put up the feeder....and fell in love with birds.  I now have multiple feeders, know all of the local birds and love making cards with bird images on them!!

 

I Brake For Stamps has several wonderful bird stamps and I've used Small Water Can with Bird and just the "birthday" portion of Good Example.

 

 

Supplies I used:

Spellbinders label dies

metal dots

Prima flowers

2 leaf punches

metal brad

Copic markers

I Brake For Butterflies and Wild Flowers

I hope this doesn't sound too arrogant but I LOVE how this card turned out! I'm not taking most of the credit though. It's the beautiful images from I Brake For Stamps!  

My card uses

Swallowtail,

Floral Silhouette Bouquet,

Good Example (just the birthday part)

 My friend gave this card to her Mother-in-Law for her birthday. 

This flower and butterfly are so versatile. I've used the butterfly multiple times already and I know I'll be using the flower a lot as well.

I've used the flower on the inside as well.

Here's a close up of the two images. 
Aren't they gorgeous!!

 

I Brake For Golf

My husband's birthday was Aug. 11 and he's a big golf fan. He watches, he plays, he even occasionally wins a local tournament. I ordered this stamp with him in mind.  The image is called Under Par and it's from I Brake For Stamps.  The birthday verse is part of a stamp called Good Example.

I love monochromatic cards and I thought green was perfect for a golf card.

The only tool I used was a McGill word window punch.

Remember, any day spent stamping is a good day!
