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

Easel Card With Textured Flowers

Image
Hello.  Welcome.  Gail from the design team here today with a project using the new Textured Flowers stamps.  I loved these the moment I saw them.  Big beautiful blooms.  And many small er stamps for adding leaves and texture.   I decided to make a Twisted Easel Card.  There are many tutorials available but I used this one by Lois.  So here's my card using Textured Flowers and of course, a giraffe .......... I was inspired by the Rubber Dance challenge colours which for June are: I stamped the large simple daisy, masked and stamped two more.  I added the giraffe from African Animals .  I think I'll call her Daisy. I thought it looked a bit empty so I stamped more daisies...... and coloured with distress and d y e inks.  I stamped and embossed three of the doodled flowers and the giraffe, fussy cut and added them to my panel.  I used brads and a Cheery Lynn die cut for the flower centers.  I also doodled a little faux stitching

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:
