Construction Birthday Card


Our friend's son's 3rd birthday is this week.  The theme of the party is Construction trucks.  I scoured all my and my friends stamps and papers, and couldn't find anything.  I know I have looked at a few stamp sets before, I must have always found something else to get instead.  So I searched online for a digi stamp and found www.http://scraporchard.com I also scraplifted the entire idea of the card from one of their samples.  I downloaded the stamps and a full set with papers and other die cut shapes used more for digital scrapbooking.   I coloured the trucks and added a little dimension to the other shapes with my copics.   I printed the trucks on the copic paper from scrapbookers paradise (I don't know the brand) and printed the patterned paper on whisper white cardstock from Stampin Up.
Copics: YR 23, Y17,Y15,Y13,W5,W3,W1.C9,C7,C5


Happy Birthday John!

Swap Projects for Calgary Stampin up Regionals 2013

I was invited to the Stampin Up Calgary Regional Convention.  I found out with only a couple weeks notice that there is a "swap" that is held.  We can trade projects with other talented Stampin up folks.  Since I only had a couple weeks I had to get stampin...  My project is simple but has a WOW factor.  I created a few colours and directions of the same card to show that just turning your project you create something different. 

For the card I used...

Ink and Cardstock: Rich Razzleberry, Primrose Petals, Tangerine Tango, Lucky Limeade, Island Indigo

Stamp Sets:
Papillon Potpourri 123759,Summer Solstice 122037

Punch: Elegant Butterfly 127526

Embellishments: Rhinestone Basic Jewels 119246

I had such a great time at the convention I decided to sign up as a Demonstrator.  I am very excited and can't wait to start offering classes and workshops to everyone.
