Mojo Monday 342, Happy Birthday

Hello stampers!  My mojo monday card today is for my youngest grandson's 15th birthday! I am NOT green person at all, it's one of my least fav colors, however it is his favorite! He wears green all the time and everything of his that can be green is.   I've got green stuff for him for his birthday, it's called money. LOL

Todays sketch was very simple.

Lots of ways to use it, I tried to keep it simple since it was going for a boy card.

I used Very Vanilla, Gumball green and that's about it.. Did I say he is really into green?

Last Call for the Best Of Anniversary sets

I was reminded that the end of this month will be the last chance to purchase the Best Of anniversary stamp sets from last year.
2013 was SU's 25th anniversay and each month they brought out a new stamp set that contained stamps from over the years that were the most popular in their catagory.  The price is right on these, so if you would like any of them, now is the time to buy.

Also, Sale ABration is ending the end of this month, so why not get your Best of Sets and get your freebies as well from the Sale A Bration  brochure?

 

So, just to inspire you a bit, I decided to do a quick card using some of the Best of sets. This combines, Best of Flowers, Best of Butterflies and Best of Birthday stamps.
To check out all the Best of sets, go here:

PPA challenge 168

Todays card combines two challenges, the Pals Paper Arts Challenge and one from OWH, (Operation Write Home) to make a card that a man could send to his male friend.
I had visions of flowers and butterflies, but this is important, and something I hadn't thought of before.  So, here is my attempt.  My hubby says it meets the challenge, it's something he would send to another guy.  It's easy to forget these guys have brothers, fathers and friends they have left behind.

So before we send off the  box we have going I'll try to do a few more.

Colors:
Very Vanilla
Basic Gray
Smoky Slate
Coastal Cabana

Supplies
Best of Butterflies
Circle Collection Framelits  (130911)
Neutrals Collection Designer series paper pad (130132)

Come on over to Pals Paper Arts and join in the challenge, it's a lot of fun. You will find the link at the right hand side of my blog.

To order this set, the number is 132929 and comes in clear only for $14.95.

Pals Paper Arts challenge 162, Patriotic Card

Happy 4th of July,  our Independence Day in the United States.  I will be off to the traditional BBQ
and I hope you all have plans to enjoy and reflect on this day as well. Our country deserves to be celebrated.

So, for todays PPA Challenge here are the colors we had to work with, very timely of course.

We (especially hubby) are huge lovers of all things patriotic, so I do hope you enjoy my card.
I used the Stripes embossing folder, it was perfect for this, I spritzed it with some red, then inked up my brayer and ran it across the top after embossing. 
I cut out the blue and distressed the edges some, stamped and cut out the star from Simply Stars.

Got out the Celebrate from Best of Birthdays for the sentiment.  I used the Crumb Cake to dirty up the sentiment a bit and attached, added a Candy Dot on each end of my little flag.

Cut 3 stars and used Stampin Dimentionals to attach them.  It was a fun card, and not difficult at all.

The item # on Best of Birthdays is 132929 clear Mount. The best of sets are available until March of 2014, but are not in the catalog, you'll find a separate flyer for them.  One comes out each month, all are $14.95

And here is the Simply Stars, I got this from SU free during a Regional and really didn't think I would use it much, but much to my surprise, I am bring it out all the time. So many uses, and it'll come in handy for Christmas as well.

Thank you for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed what you saw. I would love to hear what you think.

Masculine Birthday Card

I needed a card for my 14yr old grandson's birthday. He has reached an age where I can no longer get by with a cutest card. So sad, my 3 youngest grandson's are all 14 now, no more babies.

So, I did a card using a combo of old and new product.

It took me awhile but at some point I fell in love with this wood grain embossing folder, it's so useful!
I sponged on some of the Crumb Cake ink just to dirty it up some. The Patterned paper is part of the Gingham Garden paper pack, the whole pack is just gorgeous, this piece is done in Pear Pizzazz one of the new colors.

Colors:
Whisper White
Crumb Cake,
Pear Pizzazz
Soft Suede

Supplies:
Gingham Garden Designer Series Paper ( available in the new 2013-2014 catalog May 31) (129310)
Best Of Birthdays (25th SU anniversary set) (132929)
Remembering Your Birthday ( also available May31st) (131350)
