Beer Card

Hey everyone,

My dad's birthday is on Tuesday. He is usually a hard person for me to find card ideas for. I saw this beer mug card idea on Pinterest and thought he might like it.

Here's the card:

I started by embossing the brown paper with a stripe embossing folder. I cut all the mug and beer pieces with my Silhouette. The happy birthday is written with Silhouette Sketch Pens. I distressed the bubbles and the "beer" pieces with tea dye distress ink. I then attached all the pieces to the card.

The inside:

I found this saying in google images when looking for a quote for the inside of the card. My dad is turning 71 so I thought it was a great saying!!!

Circles and Stripes Card

Hey all,

My boyfriend's uncle is visiting from New York and we are celebrating his birthday during his visit. This will be the first time I meet the man and I don't know anything about him so I found this birthday card idea on Pinterest that I thought he'd like.

Here it is:

 

I cut a 5 and a half by 4 and 1/4 blue sheet for the card cover. Then a 5 and 1/4 by 4 inch white piece and embossed it with the stripe embossing folder. I used my scraps for all the other pieces. I cut the yellow and green polka dot paper and trimmed it to line up with the white striped paper. I cut circles using my Silhouette Cameo to the sizes of 1 and 1/4, 3/4, and 1/4 inch. I cut the yellow rectangle and stamped it with a happy birthday stamp. I attached all the pieces layering the circles in various spots.

Inside:

On the inside and stamped a simple birthday wishees on the same yellow paper from the front and attached a blue background.

Poop Emoji Card

Hey Hey,

My boyfriend's niece has a birthday today. She loves emoji's and her favorite is the poop emoji (she is turning 10). As I was searching Pinterest, I found emoji card ideas for how to make the different faces but not one for a shaped poop emoji card, so I made my own.

Here's the poop:

I found a good poop emoji image in google images and put it into my Silhouette program. I made it into a card. I used a dark brown distress ink around the edge of the card. I hand embossed the lines to make the "swirls" of the poop. I added the eyes and the mouth.

Inside:

I stamped "Happy Birthday" on a white square and attached it to the inside of the card.

Here is a whole view of the inside of the card:

Motorcycle Card

Hey everyone,

My boyfriend's dad has a birthday today. He likes to drive his Indian motorcycle around this time of year. I finally purchased a motorcycle stamp so I could make him this card:

I cut a brown background and a 2 inch strip from decorative paper. I attached the decorative paper to the left side of the card. I cut the blue and white shapes with my Silhouette Cameo. I stamped the front end of the motorcycle on one white shape, the middle on another, and the back end on the third. I attached each white shape to a blue shape and then layered them on the card.

On the inside:

I stamped "Happy Birthday to You." on the same white shape as the front and layered it on a blue shape. I centered on the inside of the card.

Minecraft Gatefold Card

Hey,

My nephew's birthday is coming up and he is a big fan of Minecraft (is there a 12 year-old right now that isn't?). I made him a Minecraft card last year as well so I had to do something different this year.

The card:

I saw this idea on Pinterest (there were various ideas that I looked at). I created a gatefold card with the four different aspects of Minecraft. Each the aspects is 2 inches squared. I scored the 2-inch squares at ¼ inch intervals and the turned the square and did ¼ inch intervals that are perpendicular to the first score lines. I complete the TNT first by cutting a strip of white paper and using a sharpie to write TNT. Next, I completed the pig. The eye squares are cut slightly smaller than the nose squares. Next came the Steve head. The eye squares are the same size as the pigs nose, the hair is about a half inch total, and the mouth is 2 different pieces totaling about ¾ inch. Finally, the creeper. I cut out 5 black squares that were the same size as the pigs nose squares. All of the pieces were attached and then I attached them to the doors of the card.

The inside:

I stamped Happy Birthday on the inside with a new birthday stamp that I purchased from WISH.com.

I plan to enter these challenges:

Flower Birthday

Hey all,

This card is for my mom's birthday. She loves red and blue. I thought I would use my new stamps that I just recently purchased from WISH.com.

Here is the card:

I cut the light blue paper to fit a pre-made card and used a red ink to stamp on the flowers. I stamped the flowers randomly. I then used decorative scissors to cut the white bumpy paper at the bottom (I haven't used those in a long time). I cut a strip of red paper to put along the bottom as well. I punched out some dark blue butterflies and painted them with a sparkly paint that I have. I hand cut an oval and stamped Happy Birthday on it. Then, rubbed the edges of the oval with a light blue ink pad. Finally, I attached all of the pieces to the pre-made card putting a foam piece under the oval and bending the wings of the butterflies upward to make them look as if they are flying.

On the inside:

I stamped a simple birthday message on the inside of the card.

Pug Card

Hey all,

My friend's husband has a birthday coming up so I asked him what his favorite things are. He said dogs and playing with dogs. They just recently got a pug so I thought I'd make him this cute pug card.

Isn't it just adorable? I love how cute it is. I used the print and cut feature on my Silhouette Cameo for the first time ever too! I used that feature for the coloring and cutting out of the pugs. I cut three windows and the triangle border from a beige like paper. There are perforated lines around the edge of the beige paper as well as all the way around the windows. I then stamped a happy birthday in the center below the pugs.

On the inside of the card I used my Silhouette Sketch pens to write the words "Too far for a HUG so I sent you a pug!" Since I wasn't going to see him on his birthday I thought that fit perfectly.

Guitar Card

Hey all,

My boyfriend's birthday is coming up and he is the hardest person for me to do anything for. He likes to play guitar (although he hasn't played recently) so I made him this card:

I cut circles from brown, black, and white cardstock using my circle cutter. I also cut a circle on the front cover of the card base. I used super thin metal wire that I took from ribbon that I bought from Big Al's a few years ago as the strings of the guitar. I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut out the white piece on the bottom and the guitar pick. The words on the pick were written with my Silhouette Sketch Pens.

I stamped Happy Birthday through the hole on the card base so that it is seen on the outside and the inside of the card when opened.

Here is the inside:

Ladybug Card

Hey all,

A birthday card for the teacher assisant in my classroom. She loves ladybugs and the color blue.

I was orignally going to use a red background but I didn't have any red paper.

I used a circle punch to make the ladybug bodies and wings. I stamped the wings using small round stamps that I bought a while back. I hand cut the antennae. I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut out the leaves.

I embossed the blue paper using a Darice polka dot embossing folder, stamped a simple Happy Birthday and layered it with green and black paper.

For the inside, I found this ladybug saying on google images and used my Silhouette sketch pens to write it. I attached it to a blue background and then that to a black background to match the front of the card.

Thanks for checking my card out and have a GREAT day!
