Masculine Birthday Card

I'm here today posting a card that I created for my son who will be celebrating a birthday next week. 

I will be linking this over at Freshly Made Sketched 451 and Seize the Birthday. I decided to stick close to a masculine look even though the balloons were the focal point. I did add Wink of Stella to the balloons which I had colored with Prismacolor Pencils and burnished them.

Masculine Happy Birthday

Just a quick post today. I decided to link up to  Freshly Made Sketches since they extended  their weekly sketch challenge. Why not stop by and check out all the lovely cards.

*All the products used on this card are retired SU products , except the blue patterned paper which is Party Animal DSP and the solid papers.

I'm off to start on another card and some gift cards that I need for this weekend. Have a wonderful evening and go do something you LOVE.

I'm delighted to be the guest this week at the Color Throwdown315 challenge!  Here are the fun, Fall colors that we have to work with:

I originally thought I would use the colors from Color Throwdown for a more Fall inspired card. As I played with different papers and the provided color combos, I had an "eureka moment".  Why not use these colors for a masculine birthday card? As you know, I'm always in need of those and sometimes they are hard to create. I really think this worked perfectly not only with the colors, but the sketch. What do you think?

Also, when I saw this sketch over at Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge, I knew I had to combine the both challenges. I think they worked perfectly together. Don't you?

I almost forgot to post this card today!

I have entered it into the Mojo#357 challenge and the Paper Players#207, although I'm not sure if I'll make the PP#207 challenge.

Like I have said before, I always need masculine cards.  I saw the this sketch and had the Project Life cards on my desk, and BINGO everything clicked.

Well, I'm off to the groomers with my Chloe, Petco, mall, and lunch with a friend. I hope you have a wonderful Friday and weekend. Stay CRAFTY my friends!

Masculine Birthday Card/ MOJO334

Sorry for getting this up late today for you

 East Coast people, but it's been a busy Monday!

I decided this morning to use the MOJO334 sketch and we were asked to do a long and skinny card. Mine was cut at 3.5x11 and scored at 5.5".

I decided to showcase the new paper I just received from Stampin' Up!, High Tide DSP 132992.

All I can say, LOVE IT! It is so colorful and such sweet images on the paper. As always, I will probably make several cards this week using it.

I posted this card over at Stampin' Connection and Linda Heller's Freebie Friday FB page and decided to post it here on my blog also.

I used the MOJO Monday 309 sketch from this past Monday and paired it up with the new SU Sweater Weather DSP - 132184 and used the new Wetlands stamp set - 126697.

 Since this is a card for a certain young man in my family who is having a birthday, a matching envelope was in order. I'm just loving the NEW Envelope Punch Board - 133774.  As I mentioned in an earlier post, it's so easy to use and you can create 66 different size envelopes!

Masculine Birthday Card

I don't know about you, but I always seem to have a need for masculine cards. Perhaps it's because I have 3 sons, 3 SIL's and a hubby to make them for!

Today's card was CASED from a card that I saw by Heather Nichols. I loved the layout and although Heather had used stamps, I knew I had Stampin' Up! papers that would work.
