The Squeaky Baker makes another delicious b-day!

He's done it again, he's made another mound of very yummy desserts with a cupcake on top for someone to have a delicious birthday!

I love this stamp, it's too fun to color in with prismacolor pencils and gamsol. I also love working with Deja Views Paper & Punch-out Tablets.

Here's a birthday card I made for my cousin, Rebecca, who just turned 17.

B-day Boy card to my cousin

Man is it hard to keep myself under control when making a card for a guy. You know how much I like to embellish everything and wind up make it girlie. Usually it takes me a couple hours to do a card between me being picky and a perfectionist and then of course all the interruptions...

So I think the key to making a guy card is to only give myself 30 minutes to make it. Well I think it took a few more minutes but it worked and this is what I came up with.

















Recipe:
-CS: DCWV "Brown #3", Bazzill Basics "Safari", TPC "Gingersnap" and MM "Smooth Cranberry
-DPs: DCWV The Fall Glitter Stack (loads of fun papers in there!)
-Stamp: Inkadinkado Handmade with Love
-Fluid Chalk Inks: Colorbox "Chestnut Roan" and "Dune"
-Tim Holtz Distressed Ink "Walnut Stain"
-Stickles - Crystal
-Border Punch: Fiskars Threading Water
-Cuddlebug: Birthday Wishes Die/Embossing Combo set
-Cricut: Cuttin' Up for "Mike" using the cartoon & shadow feature cut @ 1 3/4"
-Misc" Colorbox Black Pigment Ink, Ranger Clear Embossing Powder, Heat Gun, Adhesive

TFL!!

Some Birthday Cards already done...

The following two cards I did back in February & March and had them on the bottom of my blog way before I learned how to post (took me a little bit to catch on to this blogging thing), so I thought I would post them and finally be able give credit to where credit is due. Both these cards are based on the idea of welding the letters to the base of the card using the Cricut Design Studio. This idea is from a very talented lady named Susan (check out her site, boy does she a very creative mind!)

So with her idea and my altering, here's a b-day card I made for my cousin who just turned 21. I used the CDS by welding the card and lettering from Alphalicious. The letters welded to the base of the card are with the shadow feature and then making a separate cut of the same letters in base feature. The hearts are from TBBM and the scallop frame is from AE. The stamp on the back of the card is from Inkadinkadoo which I used with various fluid chalk inks from ColorBox (which I also used to ink the edges of the scallop frame and hearts, along with I Kan'dee Pearlescent Jewel Tone Chalks). Hope you enjoy & TFL!










This next card I made for my boyfriend's daughter who just turned the BIG 1 0! Her b-day present from us was the baby Cricut and oh my does she love it!
Like the other card I used the CDS by welding the card and lettering, again using Alphalicious. The flowers (attached with mini heart brads) are from George, the hearts for the backside of the envie & the back of the card are from TBBM and the frame opening of the card is another goodie from Alphalicious (also cut from the base of the card by welding it together.
I again used various fluid chalk inks from ColorBox and I Kan'dee Pearlescent Jewel Tone Chalks (I LOVE using these combinations together) to shade the edges of pretty much everything. And finally added some fuzzy yarn by attaching it to the inside fold of the card with crystal brads. And here is what I came up with...TFL!









And here's the birthday girl, very happy with her present...
