We had quite a few birthdays in our family last week, so I have a few birthday cards to share with you this week. The first was for one of my nephews. The Myths & Magic Suite is perfect for kids' cards!
The dragon and the knight are fussy cut from the Myths & Magic Specialty DSP. You could also stamp and color them if you wanted to use stamps from the stamp set instead. I made the background using the Brick Wall embossing folder. I simply inked up one side of the folder before adding the paper and running it through the Big Shot.
I have been trying to remember to stamp the inside of my cards too. The 'Happy Birthday' comes from the Number of Years stamp set, and the little stars are from Magical Day.
And have you tried the Tutti Frutti Sequins yet? They already have the adhesive on the back, so they are super easy to use, and come in five fun colors!
Stamps: Magical Day, Number of Years
Ink: Tangerine Tango, Basic Gray
Paper: Basic Gray, Whisper White, Myths & Magic Specialty DSP, Myths & Magic Glimmer Paper
Accessories & Tools: Stitched Shapes Framelits, Brick Wall Embossing Folder, Big Shot, Tutti-Frutti Adhesive Backed Sequins, Silver Metallic Thread
Happy Stamping!

As promised, today I am sharing the 'boy' version of the Valentine treat boxes I'm making for my daughter's classmates. I stuck with the Myths & Magic suite, and she voted for dragons.
I fussy cut the dragons out of the Myths & Magic Specialty DSP. They're sparkly and fun! The little hearts come from the Heart Happiness stamp set, which I think is a staple! And of course that Basic Gray Shimmer Ribbon is from the pack you can get for free from the Sale-a-bration Catalog with a $50 purchase. It's gorgeous!
Stamps: Heart Happiness, Magical Day, Labeler Alphabet
Ink: Tangerine Tango, Basic Gray
Paper: Old Olive, Whisper White, Myths & Magic Specialty DSP
Accessories & Tools: Sweet & Sassy Framelits, Magical Mates Framelits, Lots to Love Box Framelits, Big Shot, Glitter Enamel Dots, Shimmer Ribbon Pack (SAB), White Baker's Twine

Happy Tuesday! If I'm being honest, Tuesday is usually the worst day of my week. I actually love Mondays and am so productive... I wish that would carry into my Tuesdays. Oh well, that's not why you're here, is it?
I am participating in the TGIF Challenge again this week, and this time it is a color challenge.
These colors are obviously girly, so I chose to use one of my favorite suites in the Occasions Catalog, the Myths & Magic Suite, and make a birthday card for one of my nieces.
It doesn't show well in the picture, but I used Wink of Stella on the unicorn to add a little sparkle. The pink background behind the unicorn was done using my light Pink Pirouette Stampin' Blend marker. And I couldn't stop without finishing the inside of the card.
The greeting is from the Perennial Birthday stamp set - a beautiful set that will stretch much farther than the kit it coordinates with!
I hope you enjoyed my card, and make sure to stop by and check out the other designs using these colors on the TGIF Challenges page.

It has been awhile since I've been so excited about a project. But this one I love! The Global Design Project's color challenge got me started. I have followed this group for awhile, but this is my first time participating in one of their challenges. Isn't this combination of colors fun?
My daughter is in kindergarten this year, and I've literally been waiting all year to design valentines for her class. She informed me that she wanted to make her own, but I think I've changed her mind. Here is the girl version:
3D projects aren't usually my thing, but I can't get over how well this one turned out! I'm excited to work off of this and design the boy version next. Stay tuned!
