Coffee Birthday Card

-
Ever have those projects that start out one thing, but then go sideways? Yeah. Totally happened here.

I finally got around to trying to make a card using my MFT Rectangle Flop Card Die-namics, but it didn't turn out and I ended up cutting off part of the front. It actually worked out fairly well. Sometimes you just have to yell "plot twist!!" and make the best of it, right? At any rate, how cute are these coffee themed dies from Spellbinders?! The sprinkles weren't as pronounced as I was hoping they would be (I was running out of mojo at that point), so I colored over them with a RV Copic Marker and then brushed on some Nuvo Aqua Shimmer. I'm pretty sure my cousin, who's a coffee fiend, will like this card. Hopefully.

MFT Rectangle Flop Card Die-namics (retired)

Fiesta Birthday Card/The Birthday Project - ROYGBIV

My youngest son, Drew, is turning nine on Saturday, so I set out to make him a super fun and colorful card, which fits his personality to a T. This card was inspired by Jennifer McGuire's spinner cards  and was a massive labor of love. There were so many elements to it, I had to do each part in steps (i.e. stamp the sentiment, die cut all the many, many pieces, assemble the card, decorate). It was so worth it, though! Doesn't it just want to make you FIESTA?! I just love how crazy it is. Kind of like Drew. Ha! I can't believe he's turning NINE!!!
