I did manage to get some stamping time in and have some things to show you. I'll start where I left off a couple of posts ago and show you the card my son and I did for my mom's birthday. Well, he chose the stamp set and paper, I did the rest!
Card for grandma from my 3 year old using Friends Furever set |
Close up of the cute little doggie focal image. |
Inside of card with what my son told me to write to his Grammy. This is a recordable sound card, hence the "press here" at the bottom. We recorded my son singing Happy Birthday...my mom will LOVE it! |
Because I was using a recordable sound card, I began with a 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" piece of tempting turquoise cardstock. I then layered a 5 1/4" x 4" piece of the DSP, which I had wrapped with a piece of so saffron grosgrain ribbon (left over from SAB 2 years ago!), on top. For the focal image, I stamped the images on watercolour paper in black Staz-On and then coloured them using my blender pens and Stampin' Pastels. I have to say I'm not the greatest when it comes to shading and colouring, but my mom won't notice! I layered the coloured image on slightly larger pieces of so saffron and real red cardstock and then adhered them to the cardfront using dimensionals. The sentiment is from the new Create a Cupcake set in the Occasions Mini. I stamped it in tempting turquoise ink on whisper white cardstock, punched it out with the word window punch and then sponged the edges. I adhered that to another word window punch out in real red and then adhered it to the card using dimensionals. To add a little whimsy, I added a little real red button for the wheel of the wagon and three old olive buttons to the ribbon.
For the inside of the card I started the same way with tempting turquoise cardstock and Play Date DSP. I then stamped the images on a larger piece of watercolour paper (the cakes are from the Birthday Bakery hostess level 1 set), and coloured them in the same way. The sentiment is from another level one hostess set called Afterthoughts. I punched it out and mounted it in the same way I did the sentiment on the front.
My son was very pleased with how this turned out and must have played the recording of himself singing 15 times before I made him stop for fear he'd kill the battery before my mom even got the card! I think she'll love it!
