A Birthday Surprise!

PLEASE Scroll down for blog candy post!!

The little monsters and dinosaurs from Paper Makeup Stamps are wonderful for little boys' cards.  Monday was my nephew's third birthday so out came all my PMS.  I love Gus the birthday monster and decided to mask him in front of Monster of a Gift.  Gus almost appears to be saying "what's wrong with my gift?"  I love to play along with Makeup for the Weekend on the PMS blog and this week Pink Elephant is looking for birthday cards.  Be sure to check out the PMS blog for their new release sneak peeks!


I used spellbinders to crop the image and popped out the tail and Gus' hand.  I kept the inside extremely simple as this is a card for a three-year old boy.



The second card I have for your viewing please is for today's Flutter By Wednesday Challenge.  I dragged my feet too long to get this posted with the rest of the DT so it's really good that I'm only a guest DT at this time!  I used the digi image Mushroom Break from a brand new Canadian digital stamp company Prairie Fairy and followed the sketch on their challenge blog.



The flower is glittery with Tattered Angels glimmer mist and the fairy's wings have been treated with Stampin' Up dazzling diamonds.  The inside is not yet complete as my daughter has taken over my sewing table to play Diego.  The plan is to have the stripes on the bottom layer, zig zag stitch the dot paper in the middle leaving the same wide border as the front of the card, and straight stitching white cardstock in the middle.  Prairie Fairy has a variety of digis available including animals, fairies, aliens, robots, boys, girls, even humourous.  With the flower, sparkles, ribbon, and fairy - I'll be entering this one into Cupcake Crafts going girly challenge.

Thank you for looking.  Be sure to check out my blog candy below and to check out the new challenge blog which launches this Sunday!
