It’s my birthday!

Published by Shel9999 at 7:45 am under C.C. Designs, My Designs

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
PubFor 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!

Cardstock:  SU Chocolate Chip, CC Designs white    Patterned Paper:  Pebbles, Inc. Travel Dot and Travel Stripe   Stamps: CC Designs “It’s my Birthday”   Ink:  Brilliance Graphite Black, Ranger Walnut Distress   Accessories: Copic markers, American Crafts medium Chestnut brads, black SU marker, sewing machine/thread, pop dots, sponge.  Card size 5 ½”x 4 ¼”.

.

Happy Birthday!

HBMR2I 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! :)

    I can’t decide which one is cuter!! I’m partial to the monkey, just because. I love him hanging from the balloons like that!! But that puppy buried amongst the gifts is adorable, too! Great job on the coloring, and I love the paper for both cards!

    I love these little guys! The paper colors are so cute for boys — I can never get enough ideas for them — I’m getting a little sick of space ships for all of Christopher’s friends! Jeanne

    These are both adorable. That Lucky image is my favorite one, too. What a great idea to add more balloons to monkey’s tail. You always do such wonderful work, Michele.

    Gosh, these are cute! What great childrens’ cards! Love the way the monkey’s hanging from the balloons and holding the sentiment. His head popped up makes all the difference, I know. Both cards are just adorable!
