BIRTHDAY RIDDLE CARD #2

This is another riddle from Inky Antics Birthday Riddles set.  I kept this card clean and simple. 

The images were colored with Copic markers and I made a coordinating envelope to go with the card.  I cut the little envelope (holding the penny) from Lawn Fawn's Perfectly Plaid paper using the envelope die from Lawn Fawn's Love Letters and attached it with a glue dot.

The answer revealed:

SCALLOPED TREAT BOX DOG HOUSE

I created this dog house using Lawn Fawn's Scalloped Treat Box and Scalloped Treat Box Dog House dies.  One of the nice things about this set is you don't really have to use any markers, etc. if you just want to do something really quick and easy (although I did...use markers 😊).  

Front View

The box measures 3" x 3 1/2" so it's small enough to make multiples to use for birthday party favors, etc.  It can also be done in any color and decorated with stamps from other sets if you would rather have a wide variety of houses.  There are just so many possiblilites! 

Left Side View

The box can be used as a gift card holder (or cash) or filled with small treats; even small dog treats to gift to someone with a new puppy. I put cash in this one for a birthday girl who has a dog named Puppy.  Cards are great but sometimes it's nice to change it up a little and do something a little more fun!

Right Side View

I used some Tim Holtz Black Soot Distress ink for the siding and some Wink of Stella Clear for the roof shingles.  All of the dies used for this project are included in the Scalloped Treat Box/Dog House sets with the exception of the grass.  For that I used the Lawn Fawn Grassy Border Die.

Back View

I decided not to add any accessories to the back of the house; the grass seemed to be enough.  To finish it up I attached the tag (stamped with the sentiment and to/from on the back) to the top of the box with some baker's twine.  Love the way it turned out!

BIRTHDAY RIDDLES

This is an Inky Antics stamp set called Birthday Riddles.  These are so much fun and great for those "hard to pick a card for" ages...too young for adult cards but too old for juvenile cards.  I love that the card is different from any you will find in the store.  

The recipient uses the penny to scratch off the gray area and this is what he/she will reveal!

And the inside of the card...

GIFT "BAG" AND FINTASTIC TAG

I made this tag to coordinate with the card in my previous post.  I kept it very simple.  The fish bowl was colored with Copic markers.  The coral and fish were colored, die cut and adhered to the fish bowl.  The fish was adhered with a 3D adhesive square.  

I printed "This tag is good for one visit to Build A Bear" on the back of the tag as the animal the birthday girl wants was not available prior to her birthday.  The tag was tucked into this little gift bag (aka: sand pail 😉).  

The bucket was cut with my Cricut machine; the cut is a file from SVGcuts.com. The crab is adhered directly to the pail and the star fish was adhered with 3D foam dots. I used the dots embossing folder to emboss the top layer of the star fish and popped that up as well.   I stamped the tissue paper using images from two stamp sets (listed below) to create my own designer paper to add to the pail.

FINTASTIC FRIENDS - A BIRTHDAY CARD

I got this card idea from a Lawn Fawn video created by Yainea.  I made a couple of minor changes but the layout was taken from the video.  

The changes I made: 1) I did not use water in mine.  I used hair gel instead (the gel has little bubbles in it which I think enhances the overall effect).  2) I did not use the plastic sheet in front of the bowl.  I really liked the way it looked without it.  

I did all of my stamping and coloring separately, fussy-cut the shapes and popped them up using 3-D adhesive.  I used Copic markers to color the images.

 I love this technique!  When you press on the "water" it looks like the fish are actually moving around; plus it gives the bowl a 3-dimensional look.  

This is my finished card along with its coordinating envelope.

And the inside of the card - 

I cut a wave from the same pattern paper used on the front of the card and placed it at the bottom inside of the card.

BB DRAGON

HOTH: BB DRAGON (pattern by AmigurumiBB)

This is the latest project from my crochet hook.  I probably shouldn't even admit this but I started this some time ago.  I didn't have a thread color I liked for the eyes so I set it aside until I could get something I was happy with and, well... 
At any rate, I finally remembered my little friend.  I love the color combination of purple with turquoise, teal, and/or aqua.   I found this pretty aqua color at A C Moore and got to work.  
She was a little challenging when it came to the row of spikes down her back but it's a fun pattern.  I stuffed her pretty firm however  she is still "cuddly" and will make a great playmate for any child. 
I'm pleased with the way she turned out.  I think I may have to try a few more color combinations so she will have some friends to hang out with! 

Here's a view from the side:

And a view from the back:

I love those wings!  They are double thickness so they hold their shape well. :)

Materials used for this project:

Red Heart Super Saver yarn: Pale Plum and Soft White

Size 10 crochet thread: Black, Aqua and White

Size G crochet hook

Fiberfill

p.s.  here is the link to the pattern :)

LAWN FAWN "VILLAGE SHOPS"

This card features Lawn Fawn's Village Shops stamp set and dies. This is the ideal card for someone who likes to shop!

  I used the same basic layout as my previous card but this time making it a horizontal card. The images were colored with Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol. The sky was created using Tim Holtz distress ink (Broken China).  The banner was cut from Lawn Fawn Perfectly Plaid (Spring) paper and the heart from pink glitter paper.  I attached the die-cut images directly to the squares.  

(card front)

I added a pocket, cut from the same Perfectly Plaid paper pad, to the inside to hold a gift card (or cash!).  I thought it went nicely with the card's theme. 😊

LAWN FAWN WILD FOR YOU

This card features Lawn Fawn's Wild for You stamp set and dies.  All of the critters, wearing their party hats, are ready to help the birthday boy/girl celebrate his/her special day!

The images were colored with Prismacolor pencils. After cutting them out with their matching dies they were trimmed to fit in the individual boxes.  All of the images were attached using 3D foam and the lines of the butterflies were drawn free-hand with a black marker. I left the inside blank for a personal message.

This card is just so bright and cheerful it would put a smile on anyone's face; love the little critters!
