Hello everyone. Getting started late today. Yesterday was just a crazy busy day - but fun. First it was a doctor appointment for my little respiratory issue. Meds have kicked in and all should be fine soon! Then I had someone in town come by to make a signature/photo book for her daughter's "Sweet 15" party. In Spanish it is called a Quinceañera. In Brasil the celebration is called "festa (or baile) de debutantes" or "festa de quinze anos". Kind of like a debutante ball. We used some beautiful vintage/shabby chic papers by Arte Facil Artesenato, a beautiful Butterfly Gown Girl die by Gina Marie Designs, and some purple glittered fun foam.
Here's a shot of the book -
And here is a close up of the Butterfly Gown Girl die after it was cut and embossed into the fun foam. Love how this looks!
Today I have another "punny" card for the Stamp Ink Paper Challenge "punny" theme. Again, super simple. I used another octopus image from Viva Las Vegas Stamps called "Otto's Sweet Ride" by the amazing artist Brian Kesinger.
I started with a top folding A2 base of white cardstock. I adhered a piece of metallic silver cardstock to the card front. Then, because I did not have the right sentiment for the image, I typed up "I "wheelie" like you!" on the computer and printed it out onto white cardstock. Then I stamped the image above the phrase and colored him in with Copic markers.
Then I die cut the phrase/image using the largest die from the Die-namics Pierced Rectangle STAX, adhered a piece of white fun foam to the back, then adhered it to a piece of black cardstock, 3 1/2" x 4 3/4", which I then adhered to the card front.
The last part was to apply a dab of glossy accents to each of the eyes.
Done! Like I said, another easy card. You can even change the phrase to say "I wheelie LOVE you!" I hope you enjoyed this quick card. Remember to make your own "punny" card for the Stamp Ink Paper Challenge! You have until Sunday, August 7th, at 8:00pm to enter a card! Until next time -
Hugs from Brasil -

I love the otto stamps! I'm going to get them someday. great card.
ReplyDeleteThe Otto stamps ROCK!! The best time to get stamps from VLVS is during the Super Bowl. They always discount everything almost 50%. I get sheets then. Great time to stock up! Thanks for stopping by the blog today.
DeleteThe first card is funny and I like the Octopus riding the bike. The 2nd book page is really sweet and love the glitter
ReplyDeleteThanks Birgit! It wasn't until this challenge that I actually thought of a good phrase to go with the stamp. And the book is even more beautiful in person. Thanks for stopping by the blog today.
DeleteAdorable cards. I like that butterfly gown girl especially the technique used....wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lois! The butterfly gown girl is really a beautiful die. And so affordable! Thanks for stopping by the blog today.
