For my Chessa Jean

A Birthday Card for the February Birthday Girl.
Decided to give an Easel Card a try for my Granddaughter's 5th Birthday. Chessa Jean is such a teeny tiny lil mouse...very quiet and shy as well as little, takes after her Mom who is 4'11" and if she was dripping wet and wearing full comabat gear she might weigh 90 lbs. after a big meal. Good thing I adore my DIL or I'd have to do something drastic to her, skinny lil thing. Life can be so Unfair.... I always wanted to be tiny and petite, instead I was born an Amazon-Amazon Wide that is.

For this card I used the new Meljen's Designs Digital Image Birthday Cake Mouse. It's just toooo cute in my opinion.
A Tutorial for an Easel card can be found Here.

Happy creating and thanks for stopping by...

Some-BUNNY has a Birthday!

I love the Designer Paper I used on this card I made for a friend's birthday; she's not been feeling well and I hoped this would brighten her day. The bunny digital image and sentiment were freebies that were offered online. Is it too obvious that I LOVE buttons?

A Purrr-fect Birthday

This card was for a dear friend's Birthday, we had such a great visit and chat while at lunch that day. What a blessing good friends are in our lives. This card features several digital images from Meljens Designs. I love digital images, you can size them to the needs of your project, crop them, flip the image, etc to tweak it to your needs. So very versatile and less expensive than your traditional 'STAMP'.
The focal image is a digital image titled 'A girl and her kitty', the cupcake is a crop of 'Cupcake Trio' - I printed 2 of the image, cut-out and then cut apart one of the images and layered with a dimensional to make it 3-D. The flowers are 'Button Daisy', colored and then cut out. Had to add some lil buttons and liberally sprinkle with 'Stickles' glitter glue.

Birthday R&R

It's often hard to find a GUY image, but this one fits the bill. A freebie image from THE DIGI SHACK, the gift and cupcake are other freebie images that I cut out and layered over the original image. I know it's for a guy, but added a bit of Glossy Accents to the remote and the gift bow and what's a cupcake without a bit of sprinkles (Stickles glitter glue). Overall not too shabby for a GUY Birthday.

Happy Birthday to EWE

Used Loving EWE and Sweet Heart Lace images from Meljen's Designs for this Birthday card. Hard to tell from the photo but the Ewe is layered in 3-D with 4 layers (each popped up with dimensional tape), entire image, body, head, top fluff and body heart. The Lacy Heart is popped up as well. I love the blank heart so personalized sentiments can be added. As always, stickles glitter glue here and there. I really like the looks of it on the outer trim of the heart, makes it look lacy. When I do 3-d cutouts of images, especially those with black outlining, I find it helpful to run around the cut edges with a black sharpie, the image just looks so much crisper. My ink always flakes off a bit where I cut.
