Colton, a baby to celebrate

I'm done having kids.  I miss being pregnant, creating a new life within, holding that baby, swaddling, snuggling, loving and watching a baby grow into an amazing person!  I'm also glad to be done.  It's funny how we can feel torn in these matters.  My dear friend Carie is pregnant with little Colton and I just can't wait to get my hands on the little guy!!  So in celebration of her, her hubby Kevin and their newest addition I created this cute card and banner to celebrate the little one and my dear friend.  Join Me in creating and sending love into this world with a hand-crafted card and gift!

Minecraft punch-art hand-stamped card

Minecraft?  Ummm... so my son says he wants a Minecraft hand-stamped card from me (25 minutes before we have to leave).  Sure, I'm super mom.. my life isn't my own (sigh), still, I had to stop, grab my iPhone and look up what a Minecraft was!! 

 

So here is a Punch-Art card of Steve from Minecraft. An odd pixelated picture character that is the star of this game Minecraft (lol).  This makes me feel old... it resembles the games we played on Atari... who knew that with the amazing graphics available to us today, that this would be the 'it' game for kids in my son's age range.

 

Create this cool punch-art card with:

Crumb Cake card stock (#120953)

Chocolate Chip card stock (#102128)

Whisper White card stock (#100730)

Marina Mist card stock (#119682)

1" square punch (#124094)

Paper Snips (#103579)

Stampin' Sponge (#101610)

SNAIL Simple, Neat, Affordable In-Line adhesive (#104332)

Yupp.. this is Steve and Minecraft.  Laugh with me... I'm not thatttt old, am I??  Truthfully, my kids are on the computer and play only educational games or work on school projects.. so this was new to me (lol).

Create these pixelated eyes, hair and smile using the 1" Square Punch.  Trim in 1/2 with the Paper Snips for smaller lines in the hair and smile.

 

Layer the Marina Mist 1" square over the Whisper White 1" square for this pixelated eye.

Highlight this nose with the Crumb Cake ink and Stampin' Sponge.  This will help separate the two yet resemble a pixelated nose.

 

The colors for this card came together with the aide of our Color Coach (#130118).  It's a MUST HAVE tool for pairing up colors and creating a WOW card.

A Creeper is a bad guy/zombie in the game... I couldn't resist a nod to the silliness of it in this picture.  Cat/Kitten pictures are always fun.

Even in a pinch - you can quickly create a custom card that will make you stand out from the crowd.  Here, an answer to my son's last minute request for a Minecraft card for one of his buds.  It's fun to see the kids, as they are turning 10, come into their own and see the world anew.  Your best friend can be your smart phone or computer, simply look up what ever fits the style of the recipient.  WOW when you go above and beyond by personalizing for that someone special (from 10 to 110)!

Batman Birthday Wishes hand-stamped card and bag

 

 

 

When celebrating a boy's birthday, sometimes you have to get creative.  My nephew just turned 9 so, using Punch Art, I created this cool Batman Inspired 9th Birthday card.  Evan and his father (who passed this summer) embraced a serious love of the caped crusader and I hope that this hand-stamped punch-art card and gift bag celebrates his style (being filled with Batman toys and new clothes should help, too, lol).

Taking the Basic Black card stock and Beautiful Butterflies Bigz Die and creating this large butterfly.   Shape this butterfly into a Bat when you punch off the bottom of the wings with the 1-3/4" Circle Punch.  (This would be great for a Halloween card, too!)

Using the Circles Collection Framelits, Big Shot and Magnetic Platform punch out this Whisper White 'Bat Signal' circle.  Adhere with SNAIL adhesive.  Layer towards the top of the Smoky Slate card base.

Create the lights of the 'signal' with our White Stampin' Chalk Marker* and a Ruler!  Easy Peasy!

This simple 'Happy Birthday' in Basic Black ink says it all... while not taking away from the Bat Signal card.

My brother-in-law shared his love of and passion for Batman... so it's extra special these days for his family.

Here, Evan and my kiddos, enjoy family time.  Celebrating life with love and laughter.

Happy Birthday big boy!!

Creating a like image for my Gift Bag was easy to do.  Adding this 'silhouette' #9 for his 9th birthday is similar to how the silhouette of Batman is in the signal light.

Have fun with Punch Art and take a Butterfly card from cute to a Batman COOL CARD (for one cool kid).  So as we celebrate Evan, his love of the caped crusader and another fun birthday... have FUN with the cards you create while getting personal!  Creating a boy's card can be a challenge.. especially as his (and my son's age range) isn't a full teen nor a little boy any more (sigh, where does the time go?!?!).  This fun hand-stamped, punch-art card is a great way to show we care.
