Birthday Card for Bibi

Hello.  Welcome.   Gail from the design team here today.  I have made a birthday card for Bibi.  Have you heard?  In December Bibi celebrates her 50th birthday, so today I am sharing a birthday card for her. 



A whole herd of elephants on their way to Bibi's birthday party.  I used MME patterned paper and stamped the elephant from African Animals and the sentiment from Happy Birthday.  I coloured with distress inks.  I've used the colours from Rubber Dance's November challenge:

Inside is a little surprise.......

This is a tealight card.  It can hold 6 tealights, or 50 cake candles LOL.  I stamped one of the flowers from Textured Flower with Picked Raspberry distress ink.  The giraffe is from African Animals.  29 again??? is from Funny Birthday.  The awesome birthday sentiment was embossed with black powder.  I cut the circle apertures using Simon Says Stamp Luminary Circles die.  You can find the instructions for this card here.


Thanks for dropping by. 
You can find all the stamps I used, and many more, in

Blog Hoppin' Superpowers

Rubber Dance has gained a following of stampers that love our Sarcasm Superpowers sentiment stamps. These aren't exactly our best seller stamps (not very surprisingly), but if you love them, you'll LOVE them! And this particular group of followers certainly do - not very surprisingly at all with a group name like theirs .... namely the  Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers! (I know, right? Too darn cute!) These fine ladies have bullied me and some of my designers into a blog hop featuring our Sarcasm Superpower stamps. It didn't take much persuation, nor any bribes to speak of. Just mention  "challenge", and we'll be all over you like underfed fruitflies on a brown banana. And that's what the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers is all about - a challenge blog with new challenges every other week. Fasten your seat belts and enjoy the bumpy ride! Of course there will be a prize.... if you make it to the end. Here's what I've made for our hop: ...

Altered Chipboard Butterfly + Giveaway

Image
Message in Norwegian : Hvis du foretrekker å lese dette innlegget på norsk, kan du gjøre det og samtidig bli med på giveawayen på den andre bloggen vår ved å klikke her. Hello everyone! Bibi here today with a fun project, using the Totem Monarch Poppet chipboard from EyeConnect Crafts . I had such a blast with this and I hope what I've made will inspire you to make something similar. The difference between the chipboards from EyeConnect Crafts and others ones I've seen out there, is that they are made to connect (hence the name). There are two categories, one called Lace-Ups which you bind together using ribbons, string, lace, etcetera and another category of chipboards with smaller holes so you can connect the pieces using tiny eyelets or brads. This is what it looks like. The pieces are laser cut, and you easily remove them from the base - save that part and use it as a stencil for another project. Notice there is also a chipboard of the butterfly's...
