Birthday Cake

Yikes, it's been way too long since I posted any cards here.  I'm currently fighting yet another cold.  All I'm hoping is that I don't pass this to the short people.

I CASE'd this card from my good friend, Pam.  I changed up the colors and used a different cake stamp (from Embellished Events).  Can you see I put little Basic Pearls on the cake?  I thought that was a nice touch.

Hero Birthday

I needed a boy birthday card the other day, so I took out my You're My Hero set.  My 3yo son loves this set.  I ended up CASE'ing this card from Mary.  I used Stazon black ink to stamp the fire truck.  Here's another little time-saving step.  Since I only have clear mount stamps, I put the fire truck and the sentiment together on the same block, so I only needed to stamp once.  I used Stazon, because I was going to color in the fire truck, and didn't want the ink to bleed.  Also, I wanted the truck to be in yellow, because my son loves those yellow fire trucks we've seen in Hawaii.

Groungy Love

Just a couple more days until Valentine's Day.  What will you be doing?  More importantly, what kind of cards are you making for your loved one(s)?  I know I somewhat CASE'd this card from somebody on the 'net.  But I can't find it now.  I also changed out a few elements, so it's like a new card, right? :D I really love how using Gorgeous Grunge adds so much to a card.  If you don't have this set, you really should get it.  It's really a fun set to use in an understated way.
