My Super Birthday Cards

Hello Crafty Friends! Yesterday was a little boy’s birthday and a few weeks ago was a big boy’s birthday. The big boy collects comics especially Superman and the little boy sent me a card with a Superman stamp on the envelope. So, I pulled out my Save The Day Grab and Go Box by Stamp Anniething to make My Super Birthday Cards.

The Details of My Cards

I love that this Grab and Go Box has everything you need to make your card including paper, adhesive, card bases and more! I stamped my super heroes twice and used my Copic Markers to colour them. Then I die cut them out using the matching die included in the box.

My cards were quick ones to make since I mainly used the Save the Day paper sheets and the Comic Mat Die that come with the box. For one card, I pulled out the Background Scene Stencil and did some inking directly onto the white panel that was cut out from the Comic Mat Die. Next, I stamped the sentiment in black and just placed it back into the empty slot on the mat. The other panels were filled with different papers. I love the “Suddenly” just like in the old comics! I stamped the Whoosh!, coloured them with my Copic markers and then added Glossy Accents to make them pop. A few sequins add to the sparkle of the card.

For my other card, I decided to use the “POW” from the paper since the big birthday boy would get a kick out of it from the old TV shows that we use to watch.

One final piece was that I put my super heroes onto Action Wobbles. How fun is that! The recipient can have them wobble on the card! Check it out!

You Slay Me Valentine Card

My You Slay Me Valentine Card
My You Slay Me Valentine Card

Hello Crafty Friends! Now that Valentine’s Day is over, I can share with you my You Slay Me Valentine Card that I gave to my Hubby. My Hubby loves anything that involves history and Vikings. He even has a Viking costume including a sword with scabbard for Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA) events and Halloween. In addition to that, we are currently re-watching the Vikings TV Series. When I saw that Stamp Anniething’s January release was Vikings, I just had to get the whole release! There are three Vikings in it. I used two of them on this card and the third is on another card that I will share later.

Details of My Card

I coloured both of these cuties with my Copic markers in the colours of the main characters in the Vikings TV Series…all blonde hair and natural tones, other than Siv’s skirt to tie in my red hearts that I wanted to use. Gale comes with a number of different weapons that you can swap out depending on what you want. I went with the axe and added Glossy Accents to the metal part to make it look like polished steel. I created my two-tone shield with a number of circle dies of varying width. My Hubby informed me that Vikings preferred coloured shields when I was colouring Torin below.

My Colouring of Torin, The Third Viking in the Release

I love the sentiment “You slay me” that comes with Gale. Perfect pun for my Hubby’s Valentine card! It fitted nicely on the tag that I cut out of the matching paper. I added some twine and a die cut heart to add some visual interest to it. Some hearts and a couple of red rhinestones add a bit of pop in colour to my card.

My note to my Hubby said that I will be his Lagertha to his Ragnar always!
