Violin Birthday~

Happy Friday Krafters~

TGIF!! Today, I am sharing a birthday card for my SIL. She turned 18 on the 21^st and she is a very accomplished violinist. I never used the Quarter Note cartridge. So I thought her love for the violin and her birthday was a perfect union for this card.

The base is white Bazzill (standard A2 size) distressed with Walnut Distress Ink. I used the Imagine More Imagine Cartridge for the pattern paper cut at 4x5.25”. The brown layer is Core’dinations Chocolate Lovers.

I used a labels Nestability for the background and the violin is cut at 3” from the Quarter Note Cricut Cartridge. I also stamped a ticket from an Inkadinkado stamp set. The sentiment comes from Close to My Heart which was stamped with Rich Cocoa Momento Ink. I then embossed the sentiment with clear embossing powder. The flowers are I Am Roses and some other flowers I purchased from Karlas001 etsy store a little while back. I also had a pearl strand I purchased from Karla in my stash. The butterfly is a charm that was also in my stash.

To give the card a little shimmer, I sprayed it with Iridescent Gold Glimmer Mist. I hope you enjoyed today’s project. Have a great weekend and “see” you all on Monday for another project, Krafthead~

Happy Tuesday Krafters!

It’s Krafthead here ready to share a quick and easy layout with you. I was in a lift challenge (however, I can’t log on to the site to finish the month) and this is my version of the lift. I used the Teresa Collins Baby Boutique and the Black and White cartridges for the back ground papers.

I printed a full 12x12 sheet from the Baby Boutique cartridge. The smaller squares were made by filling in 2x2 inch squares using various patters from the Black and White cartridge. I matted them as well as the photo in a solid black cardstock and rounded the corners with my corner rounder. I also distressed the edges.

For the title, I used the Teresa Collins Sophisticated cartridge to cut out “Brother”. I used the shadow feature so the title will stand out better against the blue. To add texture, I used the crimper. I placed the title on a solid piece of cardstock which was also matted on white cardstock. I used an EK success punch on the edge to add a finished look.

Oh by the way, the cute fellow in the photo is my handsome god-son J
