Super Duper Birthday

Hi there and happy Monday to you :)

I have a comic book style card for you this morning using Mama Elephants Tiny Heroes....


The little super girl looks like she could be holding a balloon which are always good for birthday cards so that's what I went with... I left the balloon plain so I could add a number or extra message if needed :)

I stamped and coloured the girl with alcohol markers and trimmed her out although dies are available if you prefer. To make the background I used the largest starburst from Paper Smooches Bam Bubble dies to make a stencil with scrap paper and inked through the negative space with Distress Ink. To get the half tone look I used the Scattered Surface background to stamp through the stencil in blue ink.

To create the drop shadow effect I placed the die cut piece over the inked shape but moved it slightly in one direction and replaced the negative stencil piece back over the card too, I then added a small amount of dark ink to the exposed card being careful not to move the stencils... I hope that made sense:)


The die cut clouds are inked around the edges and partly stamped using the scattered background too... the sentiment is made using a Super Duper from the Tiny Heroes set and words from other sets in my stash... it's fun to mix n' match your own sentiments :)

What if you need a tiny flying Hero of the male variety I hear you say.... well that's no problem, just a little creative stamping and small amount of pen work and you can have a Super Boy too.... 


Simply do not ink the pony tail and parting detail in the hair and turn her dress into shorts and you have a trainee superman .... and you can still use the die, just trim away the extra card where the ponytail should be :)

Tough Break!

Kate is taking a break from the blog for the rest of the month so you've got me again today - sorry!

I thought I'd make a quick card for my hubby to cheer him up after his accident this weekend.


It's very simple - I just stamped the kitty from Get Well Gang with his broken foot onto a kraft base card and coloured with pencils and added a sentiment to match underneath.  I cut a mask just bigger than the image and sentiment and then to add interest to an otherwise really CAS card I used the brand new background stamp from MFT which I think will be one of my most used stamps ever.  It has a sort of comic book dots effect and its called Scattered Surface Background.  I stamped it twice over the mask in grey and black, not taking too much care as I wanted some "bits" missing for a rougher effect.

The whole new release from MFT is brilliant this month - a special Birthday related release to celebrate their 10th Birthday!  

Right - back to packing your orders - see you Sunday!
