Mustache Big Wish

Here is the third card in the set we made over the weekend.  The layouts are basically the same, this time instead of punches we used the Mustache Framelit and cut out four different brown cardstocks.
Mustache BirthdayAfter we adhered the mustaches to the Whisper White layer, we ran it through the Chevron embossing folder.  We stamped "Wish Big" and adhered it to a larger circle of Baked Brown Sugar and attached to the front of the card.

You really have to give this a try.

In Color Butterflies

Here's another version of yesterday's card.  This time we used the retiring In Colors — Strawberry Slush, Coastal Cabana, Crisp Cantaloupe and Pistachio Pudding.

Butterfly HiInstead of circle punches, we used the Elegant Butterfly and Bitty Butterfly punches.  We changed the embossing folder and this time used the Spring Flowers embossing folder.  Amazing how the card looks completely different this time.

What a great way to change things up a bit on a card layout.  Remember this when you are searching for a card to make — you find one and think "oh, I don't have those punches or embossing folder".  Look at what you do have and make a quick switch and viola, you have your own version of the card.

Birthday Buddy

Happy Birthday Little Buddy — this card is perfect for any young man.  The card is simple to make with just a few punches or the Circle Framelits, an embossing folder and a word stamp.

Circle BirthdayThe base of the card is Marina Mist with a layer of Night of Navy and a layer of Whisper White.  The circles are punched from scraps of cardstock — Soft Sky, Marina Mist and Night of Navy.  The punches are 1/2", 3/4", 1", 1 1/4", 1 3/8".  Just glue down the circles on to the Whisper White layer and then run through an embossing folder (we used the Alphabet embossing folder for this card).  Stamp the "Happy Birthday Little Buddy" and punch out with the 1 3/8" circle punch, adhere it to a 1 3/4" circle of Night of Navy and attached to the front of the card with dimensionals.

Come back tomorrow to see the same card layout using different colors of cardstock and butterfly punches in place of the circle.
