IT'S TIME TO PARTY!!

Hi Everyone!!

I have two cards to share with you. I used the Party Time Stamp set with the coordinating dies from Colorado Craft Company for both of my cards today. It's designed to be a Christmas/New Year stamp but I wanted a birthday theme so I masked off the bit of holly that was on the jar of mixing tools and voila - no more holiday theme.

The prompt for Random Acts of Cardness today at Scrap'n Stamp is PARTY and if this card definitely makes me feel like I'm at a party.

I started with stamping the two images, then colored them in with some Prismacolor pencils. I cut them out with the coordinating dies then worked on the card base.

I used the Lawn Fawn Stitched Rectangle Dies - the large one from both the small and large set to cut the frame. I inked up the frame and the card base with some Distress Oxide inks then using the Birthday Bash Set from Wendy Vecchi I added some party decorations.

I added the mouse with the gift to the card base, then added the frame with some craft foam, then added the mouse with the drinks. On a card this busy the only way I could think to add the sentiment is to emboss it on black card stock and adhered to the frame.

My second card uses the same supplies but I went for a much cleaner and simpler card.

I stamped the image of the mouse with the present then cut off the bow because I wanted him to be dancing in front of a cake. I added a candle in place of the bow, colored it in with strawberry, chocolate and vanilla colors to make an ice cream cake.  After coloring the image with Prismacolor pencils I cut it out with the coordinating die and added it with craft foam to the panel that was left over from the frame I cut for the first card. I added a few stars then a simple sentiment and added it to a card base with some more craft foam.

Are you a 'pile it on' card maker or more of a CAS card maker?

Leave me a comment telling me what your go-to style is.
