Birthday Blog Hop For Kimberly

Kimberly's Birthday
Today a few of us that get together here in the PNW are honoring Kimberly's birthday today with a little birthday hop.  Kimberly is always making awesome make and takes for us when we get together.  Today is for you sweet Kimberly. Mwah Happy Birthday!

I am using this adorable Gerda Steiner Designs Digi Hang In There Monkey.
Such a cutie digi isn't he?!  I paired him with sentiments from the Stampin Up set Just Kidding.
I sponged the little bit of blue in the corner and colored up my image using Copics:

Leaves=YG21, YG23, YG25, C5

I don't CARROT all for jellybeans

Spotlight and Copics

Did you know you can get a FREE Gerda Steiner Designs Digi every month?

Find out how HERE. 

So, I got this adorable Carrot Bunny digi for playing last month.  He is so cute.  I computer generated my own sentiment and printed out my card front with it and my cropped bunny.  I printed out a second bunny and cut out the carrot and paws but only colored the carrot with Copics then I popped it up with dimensional tape.  This is a version of the spotlight technique. Just a fun little CAS card.  He makes me smile.

February GSD Challenge

I am playing with Gerda Steiner Designs' Jump Rope Bunny for this month's

I layered four bunnies to capture his movement. 

I printed out another bunny, colored him and cut him out.  I left his ears unadhered so they would have dimension. 

I made this for this week's Simon Says Stamp's

Casing Therese

Birthday Case

I was inspired by THIS card of my talented friend Therese Calvird.

*Edit this adorable digi is currently a freebie at Gerda Steiner Designs Mouse With Balloon. 

Gerda Steiner Designs is currently having a Guest Designer Call.
Deets HERE. 

My sentiment is computer generated. 

I Printed out my image with sentiment and cut it to 5 1/2 x 4 1/4.  I then adhered my designer paper with removeable tape onto copy paper and fed it into the printer to only print the "Birthday". Then I cut it to size vertically.  I cut a tiny strip of Ranger Foil tape and adhered above the dp and burnished with my bone folder. I then adhered my card front onto my heavier card base and finished off with flat sequins to keep it mail friendly.

PURRR-fect Valentine

Step Panel Valentine

Peace Santas

I made another Christmas card

using this cutie from Gerda Steiner Designs. 

 I was inspired by the cards I have seen lately using images to fill up the front of the card. 

So I tried it using this cute digi Peace Santa.  It was a bit of a challenge with a digital image.  But I like the result.
