Birthday for my brother...AND THE WINNER OF THE BBTB BLOG HOP...

Hi, I'm sooooo sorry that I haven't announced the winner of the Bitten By the Bug Blog Hop with one of Regina's printable stamps from The Cutting Café.

But 1st, of course I have to show you the card I made for my brother for his b-day. As you all know it can be very difficult to make a card for a guy as we all like to embellish our cards with pretty stuff. I think I may have done an OK job in keeping it guy like:









Recipe:
-CS: Bazzill "unknown color name" and Bazzill Basics "Mocha Devine"
-PPs: 7 Gypsies "Savannah Collections - Telfair"
-Stamp: Inkadinkadoo "Happy Birthday Flourish"
-Fuild Chalk Inks: Colorbox "Amber Clay" and Chestnut Roan"
-Blossoms: Prima Fleur "Nursery Tales Collection - Vintage Style"
-Cuttlebug: D'vine Swirls
-Cricut Cartridge: Storybook cut @ 1 1/2" using the Shorty feature
-Misc: Black Pigment Ink, Embossing Powder, Heat Gun, Adhesive


OK, so now onto the winner!

JILL is the winner!!!. You have just won the Big Holiday Words printable stamp set. Please leave me a comment to this post with your email address so I can send you the files or send me an email at nikkiduey@yahoo.com with your email address.

Please respond by Sunday, June 7th or I will have to pick another winner.

New Birthday card for my brother

I made a post a couple days ago that had a b-day card for Taylor's cupcake card challenge, originally the card was going to be for my brother, who's b-day is at the end of May. But I thought the inside was too plain so I had to foof it up, forgetting it was supposed to be a b-day card for a guy, so I decided that card is going to be for someone else and made this new one (stay tuned for the finishing touches of the other card)...TFL!



















Recipe to this creation:
-DPs for card: Paper Pizzazz "yellow w/circles", Cool Metallic Cover Mango, DCWV "Green #3", "Pistachio" and papers from the Glitter Stack
-DPs for Envie: Around the Block "Sunrise Stripe", DCWV Glitter Stack and various stash
-Stamp: Stamps Happen "Row of Cupcakes" colored with Prismacolor pencils and stickles
-Stickles: Diamond, Burgundy, Copper, Lavender & Lime Green
Ribbon: Offray
-Cricut Cartridges: Mickey Font for all lettering for both card and envie (silhouette feature for the card cover), TBBM for the Tag holder for the Gift Card (using the mirror window feature), Doodlecharms and Christmas Cheer for the presents on the backside of the envie.
-Cuttlebug: Happy Birthday Embossing Folder
-Stickers: EK Success by Jean Card Dimensional Stickers "Tools"
-Gems/Rhinestones: various

I think that maybe it?
