Happy Birthday Sister!!!

Today is my sister and my father's birthday. I created a card for my sister using PaperTrey Ink's "A Cup of Cheer" stamp set. I think my sister will be shocked because I got a card out to her on time!! Wish the same could be said of my Dad!!


This is a TOTAL CASE of one of Dawn McVey's cards for this set. I did not use the Jade ink, though but used Hero Art's Green Hills ink for the teapot and cup. For some reason, my Jadeite ink just does not want to work. I inked the background with Simon Says Stamp Duckling yellow ink. Such a simple but effective card!!

I thank you for stopping by!!


Supplies:
Paper-White and Jadeite-PaperTrey Ink
Stamps- "A Cup of Cheer" PaperTrey Ink
Ink-SSS Duckling, Hero Art's Green Hills, Memento Black Ink, SSS Green Leaf

SJ Card Kit Club

Happy Tuesday!! Today I am sharing the cards I created with the SJ Card Kit Club. It was Kathleen's turn and she sent us a HUGE kit of Christmas themed supplies. I was the weak link to this kit as I only created five cards. It was a combination of being too tired after a long day at work and not having any mojo. Hate that!!


On my first card, I created a little hill for the bear to stand on. The bear was part of the kit, as was the patterned paper. I enhanced the die cut with a little black enamel to make the eyes and the nose. The sentiment is from Paper Trey Ink's "Cup of Cheer" stamp set.


My second card is the one I like the least. I had to put the trim at the top as I made a mistake adhering the paper. I also used Festive Berry Distress Ink on the embossed sentiment and don't love the look.


There is a serious mistake on this card. The left bird was not supposed to have a black eye!! I first used a black liquid enamel to attempt to make the eyes but did not like it. I was able to glue the other eyes on with no issue but the black seeped out a bit. I was so mad as this was the last thing I did for this card!! The sentiment and the stamped notes are from Paperie Ink's "Christmas Carolers" stamp set.


Really simple card. I die cut the embossed background that was in the kit and adhered it to a white card base. I then layered a white hill and used the die cuts that were in the kit. I used liquid black embossing enamel for the snowman's eyes and Nuvo Red Berry for the buttons.


This card was super simple to created. I utilized patterned paper that was included in the kit on the background, as well as the die cut snowman, present and hat. I enhanced the snowman by using liquid black enamel for the snowman's eyes and mouth, Diamond Stickles for the dots on the present and blue gems for buttons.

I thank you for stopping by. Please visit the SJ Card Kit Club blog to view the other participants creations.
