Stampendous! Birthday cards

Have you been over to the Stampendous! blog lately? They linked up all of the 2009 Design Team's blogs for you to go check out! There is some awesome talent on this list and I am humbled and thrilled to be included among them! And I can;t even begin to tell you what a thrill it was to open the new 2010 catalog and find tons of my cards n there...published! How cool! I have a handful of cards for you this morning, all using Stampendous! images, and all birthday themed! I wanted to show you a bunch more of the samples that I created for the January 2010 Stampendous! catalog, but it seems most of mine that went into the catalog are all summer and 4th of July! So, it seems you will just have to wait a couple of months for those :)

Instead, here are a couple of cards I sent in for another project. The first is Using "Freedom Cupcakes" and a sentiment from the set "Happy Messages". These cupcakes are so cute....they come in pieces, tos, bottoms, decorations, and accessories so that you can mix and match. I colored mine in with copics then added a lot of yummy Stampendous! glitter of course! (Tigerlily & Green)

The green background paper is Bo Bunny Double Dots, the orange dots are from the Basic Grey Lime Rickey Collection. The border punch is Fiskars' Treading Water.

Next up is a smaller card size than I usually make, but I am really starting to like this canvas size...3 1/2 x 5. The background paper is from the We Are Memory Keepers White Out Collection. I used these colors to pick out my Copic markers for the image. This image is one stamp, from a small Stampendous! set called :Two You". It is such an adorable little set and can be combined with so many of the other cute birthday sets :) And, once again, glitter in Tigerlily, Green, and Blue.

And, last up is a card that did get submitted and published in the latest catalog (for more of my catalog samples scroll down a few days to previous posts). This flower is from the Stampendous! set "April Showers:, (my favorite flower set until the new "Loopy Blooms"!) The flowers again are all mix & match, which I LOVE, plus the "happy" and "birthday" sentiments are just 2 of many in the set.

Again, the flower is colored with Copics (what else is there, right??). The border punch is by EK Success, and the brad is from Basic Grey.

Ok, that about does it for me this morning! I have tons of computer work to catch up on, including some for my real job. Have a great Hump Day! Thanks for stopping in!
