Birthday Sundaes Challenge #42

Good morning and welcome back to another Birthday Sundaes Challenge!  Our challenge this week is an "anything goes" card with a birthday theme.  One lucky winner will win three digital images of their choice from our sponsor Karen's Doodles!  Karen has some of the cutest digital images around.  They are a lot of fun to work with too.  

Karen gave our DT some images to work with, and I chose this little boy wearing a super hero costume. Making boy cards is a big challenge for me, but I saw this image and I knew I wanted to work with it right away because my husband is a big comic fan and he told me that when he was little he had a Superman pajama set that had a red cape! When I saw this image it reminded me of him :) 

So here is my card:

I used Elegant Edges for the base of this card.  I also printed this image on some white cardstock and then strategically placed it on my Cricut mat to cut around it.  The markers are all from SU!

I think I need to make more boy cards :) 

Make sure to visit the Birthday Sundaes DT for more inspiration!

Birthday Sundaes #36

Good Morning!  This challenge helped me dig out tons of stuff I haven't seen in forever! I think it will help you re-discover some old favorites as well:)  The challenge this week is to make a birthday card using your neglected/old stash.  Please make sure you make a note of the items you incorporated into your card that you re-discovered.

Please make sure to visit the Birthday Sundaes DT and our guest designer, Mary G., and link up your card here.


Our sponsor for this week is Karen's Doodles. We were generously given three images to use and I had to go with this cute fairy princess!  She is so adorable!

I love to purchase craft items and sometimes I forget what I have :( One of those items are my SU! chalks. I just use them to color the cheeks on my PKS faces, but I have been wanting to color with them for a long time.  I colored her skin with the chalks, the glow around her wand, and the ruffles in her skirt.  They worked perfectly to give her a soft look.  Also, I ordered these pearls from SU! months ago and forgot I had them.  I saw her ears and thought she needed a little pearl earring.  One little detail and it added so much!  The next items are my stickles.  This was my first time using them.  I was half scared that they would be dried up by now, but luckily they were just fine.  The last item is the very first stack of paper I ever bought.  It is called Nana's Nursery.  It is really cute but I only used it once in the last three or maybe four years.  This polka dot paper was the perfect addition for my card.

Here is my card:

I colored this image with SU! markers.  Thanks to Samantha, I have discovered liquid pearls. I need some serious practice using them.  You have to check out Samantha's work because she is AMAZING. She gets every little pearl perfectly spaced and sized.  The sentiment was made for this card!!! It's from My Creative Time in the All Around Birthday set.  

I hope you can see how well the calks worked out for her skin.  My grandma went crazy for her little pearl earring:) 

Thank you for stopping by!  I look forward to seeing your creations!
