It's Your Day Enjoy w/TAWS

Good Morning everyone!!

It is my DT day over at The Alley Way Stamps and I have another card using one of the new release stamp sets for this month.

If you have not checked out February's new release you can do so HERE!

They are super adorable!!!

So for my card today I wanted to play along with the sketch for this week over at

Seize The Birthday as well as the color combo challenge for Dynamic Duos

 
And here is the card I came up with. I hope you like it!

The challenge over at Seize the Birthday was to follow the sketch but to also make a masculine birthday card. I knew right away that this adorable robot from the Lighter Than Air stamp set would make a GREAT boy birthday card. What we tend to forget is that the outside of the card does not have to have the traditional "Happy Birthday" sentiment. I know I always write inside the card "Happy Birthday"....So with that said I thought that the sentiment I chose for the outside fit the card perfectly! What do you think??
It is from this month's release stamp set~ All About You
The Challenge for Dynamic Duos was another beautiful color combo~ Tempting Turquoise and Basic Black. I ended up coloring my robot image with those color combos and my paper from October Afternoon happened to be a very similar match as well. The "dessert" option for this weeks challenge was "clouds" and my card does not have actual clouds on the card itself but the "scene" I created was taken in the clouds...LOL!

Supplies Used:
Paper~White, Black
October Afternoon~Rocket Age
Stamps~ The Alley Way Stamps~ All About You, Lighter Than Air
 
Ink~ Memento Tuxedo Black
Copic
Cuts/Dies~ Rocket~
Silhouette Store
Other~ Sewing Machine
SU Bling

Morning!!

It is my DT day over at The Alley Way Stamps and 

I am here to share another Valentine's Day card using the new stamp set~ 

Lighter Than Air

I have already shared a card using the adorable light bulb so I thought I would make something using the cute nuts and bolts...more of a manly man card but still all lovey lovey....LOL!

I hope you like it!!

I used TAWS sentiment and stamped it on the outside of a mini bitty bag from

My Craft Spot

That cute heart die is from My Creative Time and to attach it to my card I ran a line of stitching through the heart as well as added some stitching to the outside.

And here is the cute tag that fits into the bitty bag.

It is a newbie die for me from PTI...I have been eyeing this Tag Die forever and finally bought it as a gift to me from me :)

I stamped it a number of times using the nuts and bolts from the stamp set and then colored them in using my copic.

I added some 3 Girl Jam crinkle ribbon in white from the seasonal Red/White/Blue bundle and tied a bow using some Midnight Trendy Twine!

So what do you think??

I sure hope you like it!!

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a GREAT weekend!!!
