Happy Birthday Sweet Emmy

Our sweet Emmy is 6 years old.

This was her birthday card.

I used a digital from Torico of Birdie Brown fame.

Unfortunately, she doesn't have a store for her digital stamps anymore.

I'm glad I got this while I could.

I printed this out on Whisper White cardstock and colored with Blendabilities.

Emmy loves glitter so I glittered up her shoes. LOL, she's a sparkly girl!

Merry Monday Snowman

It's time for Merry Monday again.  Lesley is taking a few weeks off but the Design Team are still going strong.  Lesley has challenged us to choose our favorite sketch and use it for the 4 weeks in July.  You can find the line up of sketches here.

I chose Sketch #5

I used a Torico (Birdie Brown) digi stamp.  It was a free stamp that she offered a couple of years ago.  She has a family of snowmen in her store that is super adorable.  I used it on this card.  And she offers a free digi stamp each month.   If you have a chance, check her out.

Snow Much Fun

I'm just under the wire on the Merry Monday challenge this week.  It's been a crazy week here, but I wanted to keep on my roll and be sure to get a card done.  I love this sketch too.

Here's what I did.

I took advantage of Torico's Birthday special on her Birdie Brown Etsy Store a couple of weeks ago and stocked up on her darling digitals.  Aren't these snow people the cutest? Your comments about heat setting the images to keep the ink from smudging works like a charm. Thank you for sharing these tips.

I cut the snow family on the Big Shot with the largest of the Ovals die and colored with SU Markers.  Then I used my non SU cutter to do a larger oval to mat the image.  Some embossing folders helped to add some snowy texture too.  I may go back and add some Dazzling Details. I haven't decided yet.

I hope you are having a wonderful weekend and finding time to do some stamping.  I'm so glad you took the time to stop by.
