Hexagon birthday card and Minecraft cake

Today marks the end of my Guest designing with Crazy 4 Challenges blog as June is up for me.  Kristine (June hostess) issued this challenge Hexagons (or something similarly shaped)!

Now I don’t own anything hexagon or even remotely shaped but was able to get hooked up with MFT’s Die-namics Open Hexagon Borders.

I used BasicGrey Shine On… pack for my open hexagon borders and matching cardstock too. Stamped the sentiment from Paper Pretties Make a Wish Cooper.

The inside of the card, I stamped Cooper blowing out his candles.

As it is, I was asked to make the cake for the birthday boy who just happens to be getting this card. He wanted a Minecraft cake which is all the rage right now with the kiddos. I know as mine play it day in and day out. So my kids gave me tips on the cake and were even helpful in playing the game so I could get a better look at how I should design the cake. (weren’t they so thoughtful?!)

I used homemade Marshmallow fondant for my figures and covering the 2 layer chocolate cake.

I’m sure this won’t be my last Minecraft cake as I have a funny feeling that 10 yr old son will want some kind of Minecraft cake for his birthday in Sept!

You old bird

This week the challenge over at Crazy 4 Challenges is Flip Flop Cards. I used the tutorial on SCS: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/swing_flip_flop_card/ for making my card.

Using Return of the Cluck, I went to work on my flip flop card. Sponged on an oval for the ground and stamped the chick on it. Colored with copics, paper pieced the hat and balloon. Added some Flower Soft to the ground for wildflowers.

Stamped sentiment inside and the chick again but didn’t color it.


(sorry for such a bad flop picture. Thought I had a good one and don’t and have already given the card away! oops!)

If you decide to play along, all you have to do is create a card/project and upload it to your blog and/or to your SCS Gallery using the keyword C4C191. Don't forget to go back to Crazy 4 Challenge Blog and link it on Mr. Linky so that everyone else can see it too.

Happy Anniversary

Welcome to another Crazy 4 Challenge. This week Kristine has created a sketch for you and here it is.

For my card I used Sealed with a Kiss by Paper Pretties. Colored with copics and cut out using Spellbinder Oval. Layered with Spellbinder scallop oval. The trickiest part for me was the triangle. So I came up with the idea of taking the smallest Spellbinder Square, cutting out 3 and then cutting them in half to get my triangles. Easy way to get triangles when you don’t have the punch or die cut for them!

Happy Father’s Day

Time for another Crazy 4 Challenges. This weeks challenge is Father’s Day cards.

I stamped the lighthouse from JFF. Masked it and did some sponging to get a sunset (or sunrise) effect. Colored the lighthouse with copics. Stamped Happy Father’s Day on heavy clear cardstock and tore it. Added some brads to help hold it down.



Would love to have you come along and play with us. Please link directly to your project and link it to Mr. Linky on the Crazy 4 Challenges blog.  And, if you upload to a public gallery, please use the key word C4C189.
