Happy Birthday and Congrats!

Hello!


 Just a quick post with some cards I was playing around with when I had two minutes to myself :)
I love this technique Ashley showed us, just not loving the thing I put on top of the card. 
I tried to make it a guy card . 

I added Glossy Accents to the controller.





This card below is for colourQ and SSWC




The Congratulations stamp is Papertrey Ink and was an unexpected gift from a very sweet friend. The other stamp is from my favorite real stamp store called Stamp Your Heart Out.
 I made these last week and only have a few minutes to post them. 
I hope you have a wonderful week.

  4. Guy cards are the hardest! These are both spot on! Such a cute lawnmower, and then in gold, gives an elegant touch. Love the glossy accents too!

    Your second card is Perfect!!
    ha, ha, love the sentiment in gold and such a great way to add bling to this card, suitable as a masculine and feminine card. Love the sequins too.

  8. Two fabulous cards. The first one is a great masculine card--love those angles and the patterned papers. And, what a fun and elegant congratulations card. Who would have ever guessed that someone made a lawn mower stamp. I love it in gold.

  9. Both of your cards are great. The guy card would be good for men and boys. They all love those games. The gold is great with the silver sequins.

  11. OH you are good at the "guy" cards Marybeth!!! I just give all the guys in my family flowery cards! haha! Love the background technique you used on the first one. I missed that Make it Monday, but I still want to try that! And thanks for mentioning that I was the featured designer instead of a guest. I had guest in my post! DIdn't realize there was a difference! I had to go edit :)

  14. Mission accomplished for masculine cards. Way to go! Love the papers you pieced together for the MIM technique. The congratulations looks awesome embossed. :) I'm so glad you found a little time to yourself...I can only imagine how busy you've been the last month.

  19. Yes, both of my boys would totally love your gaming card. It speaks their language! Your golden lawn mower really made me chuckle : ) Maybe if ours looked like that the lawn would get done more often? Hmm ...
