Hi! I have a bunch of miscellaneous birthday cards made in 2015 that I have yet to share so let's get to it!
This first card was for my mom's birthday last year. I was pressed for time and didn't want to color an image. It's rare I make a card without coloring involved, but this was one of those times. I used the Tim Holtz Bigz Sewing Room die (Sizzix). The border punch is from Martha Stewart.
Next is a card I made for a co-worker's birthday. I colored Birthday Wishes from Redonkadoodles. The image is cut with Labels Two Nestabilities (Spellbinders). I also added Lattice Border and Scalloped Banner dies (La-La-Land Crafts), Balloon punch (Martha Stewart), and a stamped sentiment from Stampin' Up cut with one of their circle punches. Bakers twine, pearls, a metal flourish, and a few flowers finish off this creation.
And here is a card for one of Kayne's friends. I colored My Super Boy from Tiddly Inks then fussy cut him and used foam squares to pop him up on a designer paper background. The City Skyline and Happy Birthday dies are from My Favorite Things. The star is from Stars Five Nestabilities (Spellbinder) and the star border is a Martha Stewart punch.
This next project was a combination birthday and new home card for a co-worker. I colored this cute little house from Waltzingmouse Stamps' A Cottage Home set then I loaded it with dies! Here I've used Lattice Border, Hot Air Balloon, Street Lamp, and Wrought Iron Fence (La-La-Land Crafts) as well as
Another co-worker birthday prompted this masculine card using Stampin' Up's Classic Convertibles stamp set. No coloring needed, just a bunch of fun dies including Fishtail Flags Stax Die-namics (My Favorite Things) and Flag Banner and Steampunk Border (La-La-Land Crafts).
Here is Kayne's birthday card from last year. His party theme was Batman so I found a coloring page online to use for his card. He is colored with Copics and fussy cut. The City Skyline Die-namic is from My Favorite Things, the big bat die cut is from Spellbinders and the border is a Martha Stewart punch. I created the Bat Signal with a printable file purchased online. The chevron paper was also a purchased digital file.
Another birthday card with no coloring! (I did stamp the sentiment, though.) This was made using My Favorite Things Stamps Game Controller Die-namics. The sentiment is from their coordinating Level Up stamp set. The other dies used are Lattice Border and Lattice Doily Border (La-La-Land Crafts).
This was a birthday card for another one of Kayne's little friends. I colored Little Captain Oscar from Simply B Stamps' Jude and the Rockers Little Heroes collection. He's colored with Copics and cut using Labels Nestabilities Four (Spellbinders). Also from Spellbinders is the Star Circle and Stars Five Nestabilities. The star border is a Martha Stewart punch and the film strip is from Tim Holtz. The Lattice Doily Border is La-La-Land Crafts.
Another co-worker's birthday card. I got a little sassy with this one. The image is KennyK Stamps' Cheers Dude and he's colored with Copics. The sentiment is from 7Gypsies (Hampton Art). The die is Stitched Bracket Border (La-La-Land Crafts).
And finally, a CAS card featuring KennyK Stamps' Hockey. He was colored with Copics and fussy cut. The sentiment is from Stampin' Up.

Happy Father's Day AND first day of Summer! I am going to make this a quick post because I am off to celebrate with my dad! Breakfast out and then a home cooked fiesta of nachos and chili! Yum!
Speaking of yummy... At The Corrosive Challenge we are welcoming back A Day For Daisies as our sponsor! We love working with Tammy and all her delicious images! To go shopping in her store (HERE) you really do feel like a kid in a candy store! She is offering a $12 voucher as the prize for our winner!
Our theme is one I love - and try to live by - "Leave A Little Sparkle"! Anything shiny, sparkly, or glittery goes! Tammy is always sweet enough to let each DT member select an image to work with and I picked Fancy Hair Fairy. She is colored with Copics and cut using Labels Seventeen Nestabilities (Spellbinders). I sponged Distress Ink in Vintage Photo around the edges and then added Shabby Blue Fran-tage. Her wings are covered in Baby Blue Stickles. I used a few other dies as well: Heart Doily Border, Honeycomb, and Filigree Crown (La-La-Land Crafts). After watching a video on Youtube, I finally figured out how to use those darned punch around the page punches from Martha Stewart! (The butterfly is also from her.) I'm so glad I took the time because I love the result! I finished my creation off with a bit of lace, a bling flourish, some flowers, a Tim Holtz Corner and Philosophy Tag, and framed sentiment. The sentiment is from a Little Darlings Rubber Stamps set called Vintage Affections - Enchanted Wishes. Papers are DCWV Rustic stack.
Head over to The Corrosive Challenge blog to see the rest of the design team SPARKLE!
Copics used: E00, E04, E11, E21, R20, B00, B02, Y28

Hi! I was SO excited to see that Krista was having a Saturated Canary Summer guest design team call, but I was worried I wouldn't have time to create! With school getting out next week I have been out straight with all sorts of kid activities and have stayed up until 1am not once, not twice, but three times this week! That is waaay too late for this momma lately! I'm not as young as I used to be!
Sleep deprivation aside, I have to say I was happy with the results of my late night efforts! Here is what I created using one of the two images required for the call. This is Traveler. She is colored with Copics and fussy cut. I am really liking the elaborate card style so this is another one I loaded like a baked potato! (Is anyone else hungry now?) I used a bunch of great dies: Lattice Border and Lattice Doily Border (La-La-Land Crafts), Weathered Clock and Hardware Findings (Tim Holtz), Cityscape and Eiffel Tower (My Favorite Things), and Labels Fourteen and Long Classic Rectangles Nestabilities (Spellbinders). I also piled on the embellishments again! There is pearl lace, flowers, a ticket, and a few Tim Holtz items consisting of Compass Coins, Game Spinners, Long Fasteners, and Locket Keys. I dressed up the white panel behind the image with some Distress Ink (both sponged and stamped with a couple of Stampin' Up sets). The butterflies are Martha Stewart punches. The sentiment is also Tim Holtz. Papers are Teresa Collins World Traveler.
Now I nervously await the announcement...
