It’s my birthday!

Sorry for the double post today.  I have a lot of new releases this week and it’s getting tough to juggle.

It’s not really my birthday…that’s the name of this new set by C.C. Designs, one of five new releases available Friday, April 4th from All That Scraps.  Of all of them, I think this one is my favorite.

It’s all about the Presents
For this one, I paper-pieced most of the gifts and Lucky’s hat and colored Lucky with Copics.  I think he’s cute buried in all the gifts!

Happy Birthday!

I colored this little monkey with Copics and paper-pieced the balloons and his hat.  When trimming the image, I allowed the balloon to extend past the border, then added the extra two, raising all three on pop dots.  The monkey’s head and hat are popped up as well.

I used a craft knife to carefully cut around the bottoms of his hands so I could tuck the sentiment beneath them.  There are pop dots under the birthday sign too.

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a great day! 🙂
