Horse Birthday Card

Hey Deer Friends,

Good Evening Everyone!! I'd like to take a moment to thank all the Veterans who have served our Country for their service!!! 

Have you been crafting and making any projects lately?? The colder weather makes you want to watch a good Hallmark Christmas Movie and get crafty! Or maybe that's just me. ; ) Tonight, I want to show a birthday card I made for my nieces birthday. For this card, I used Cutie Katoodles Horse

 file from Kadoodle Bug Designs.

 My niece loves horses and her favorite color is purple, so I wanted the card to include both. I had asked her over the summer what kind of birthday card she wanted and she said horse so that's why I went with that. Her Mom and Stepdad got her horseback riding lessons for her birthday and boy is she excited. Today was her first lesson and she did great.

Witchy Owl Birthday Card

Hey Deer Friends,

Good Evening, I hope you are having a great fall so far!! It's been in the 90's where I'm at the past few days, but it is supposed to cool down to the 70's by the end of the week. Yay!! : )

So tonight, I want to show a Halloween themed Birthday card I made for my sister's birthday. For this card, I used Cutie Katoodles-Witchy Owls & Happy Halloween

 files from Kadoodle Bug Designs.

My sister loves the fall and loves all things Halloween, so I decided to make her a Halloween themed birthday card. I had lots of fun creating the background with ink. I made it lighter around the moon and then went darker as I went further out. I used the tree branch, moon and the bats from the Happy Halloween file. Then to finish the card off I added some touches of Wink of Stella on the hat, bat, and birthday sentiment.

Duck Hunting Birthday Card

Hey Deer Friends,

Good Evening, I hope you are having a great start to your week!! Fall is just right around the corner I can't believe its already mid September!!

My Brother In Laws birthday was last week, so I made him a birthday card. For this card, I used the file

Hunting 1 file from Kadoodle Bug Designs.

My brother in Law is a big duck hunter and loves all things duck related, so I figured I'd make a duck card. I inked the background with some shades of blue, purple, and pink to create a sunrise or sunset look.  Then I stamped some trees from the Lovely as a Tree Stampin Up set to create a background.  I also inked some of the water with the shades in the sky so it looked like it was reflecting on the water. To finish the card off I added some ducks flying in somewhat of a V in the sky and then added some cattails and water in the front. I hope this card inspires your creativity. : )

Below is a complete list of supplies and materials used to complete this project:

Cattails: Disney Classics Cricut Cartridge
Birthday Sentiment: Gypsy Wanderings Cricut Cartridge

Happy Birthday Shaker Card!!

Good Morning Everyone,

I hope you are having a great day!! Today I want to show you this cute birthday shaker card I made using the file Birthday Slushy. Last week, Kadoodle Bug Designs turned 6 years old. That's pretty exciting, so I thought today I'd share a shaker birthday card with you guys. This card was made with a current freebie called Birthday Slushy!! If you haven't picked up this adorable penguin yet hurry on over to the website because the freebie might change later on today.

To make this project I used the steps below:

• The blue base was cut at 4.625 x 6.25 and I inked the edges in blue.
• The light pink pattern paper was cut at 4.17 x 5.65. I stamped the birthday sentiment on this sheet.
• I made two dark pink frames cut at 4.19 x 5.67 and then I cut a smaller square in the middle to make a frame. Then I used Colorbox Cat's Eye Chalk ink in Dark Peony along the edges of the frame.
• The acetate is cut at 4.19 x 5.67. I attached this to one of the pink frames with the red sticky tape. On the other pink frame I added some foam tape to pop it up for the microbeads to stay inside.
• Then I used red sticky tape and attached that frame to the light pink polka dot paper.
• Next, I put in the little multicolor micro beads and then attached the top part of the frame to the bottom section.
• I made 4 balloons measuring at 1.28 x 1.60 and inked them up. Then attached a string to the bottoms of the balloons and made a bow around the bottom.
• Last, I worked on the Birthday Slushy paper piecing which is cut at 1.94 x 3.74. I decided to make the penguin purple because I thought it'd go well with the other colors I was using.
• To finish the card off I added some Wink of Stella to the bottom purple part of the cupcake and I added it to the cupcake icing as well. Then I put some rhinestones on top of the bigger cupcake for the sprinkles. And added purple stickles to the sprinkles on the icing on the penguins head and on the purple stripes on the candle.
