Masculine Birthday Card and Video Tutorial

Hi Friends, Happy Saturday. We have all kind of fun activities and events as part of ICR's 2nd Anniversary on ICR Forum - Please do stop by and check it all out.

As part of the Anniversary Celebrations - I have posted a Small Video Tutorial on using your Digital Stamps in Basic Word Processing Software. please do check it out. We have some Free Exclusive Stamps on ICR as well.

Here is a card that I did using one of the ICR exclusive Digital Stamp.

I printed several of these images using Microsoft Word on PTI Cardstock (Because I was going to color it with Copics). And then cut it out using Nestabilities Die and then colored it with copics. I then added it to the card base with patterned papers. The sentiment is from PTI's Faux Ribbon Stamp set and I added some red airmail washi tape for fun interest.

I am entering this card for the Seize the Birthday Challenge #4, to use their sketch and create a Masculine card. Here is the Sketch,

Simple and easy card using Digital Stamps. Hoping that you will stop by at ICR.

Seize the Birthday challenge #2

I loved the idea of Seize The Birthday Challenge blog to use the same sketch to create a feminine card one week and Masculine the other week. I missed playing along with the first challenge, but here is a quick card that I made for the 2nd Challenge.

I used the Bugaboo Digi stamp for my card today. Printed it out on some PTI Cardstock and colored it with Copics. I love this series of stamps from Bugaboo. Instead of including a sentiment on the outside, I decorated the inside of the card with a strip of the same patterned paper that I used on the front of the card and added a sentiment from PTI Birthday Basics Stamp set.

Here is the sketch from STB Blog,

December (Sadly last) SFYTT

Hello Friends, Here is my card for the December SFYTT. Jen has announced on her blog that this is the last SFYTT Sketch. I am quite sad about it, but I do understand her point. I was happy I got to join her this year with 12 projects.

I was totally inspired by my Friend Imke to kind of stamp the birthday sentiment on the outer edge of the cutout image. I bent the image a little bit on the acrylic block, inked it and then stamped it.

Here are my past SFYTT Creations starting from January 2012,
