Birthday Challenge Week 2 at DoubleClick Skittles

 Welcome to the DoubleClick Skittles Challenge! It's week 2 of a brand new challenge!

Welcome to challenge #42 at DoubleClick!!

Dates: February 17, 2016 - March 1, 2016

Challenge: Birthday

For my project today, I've colored up a CAS card, using stamps from the Spellbinders Celebration set, "Your Day".   I don't think I've ever inked up this little guy, so it was the perfect time to do so, for a fun boy birthday card.

I added some washi tape and placed my Skittles on top as a fun, blingy accent.  My Skittle colors are Stream and on of my favorites because it's such a deep blue.

Celebrate card

I made this card for a challenge with the Unity Stamp Co.   I used several ink colors on the tag,  including yellow,  blue and orange,  mainly on the edges.   Then I heat embossed my stamped image in gold embossing powder.   I used my Tim Holtz distresser (pictured below) to rough up the paper edges and also did a little sanding.   Finally I added some dimension with the raised leafy paper (courtesy of my Cuttlebug),  and embellished with some twine and ribbon.   This versatile card could be used for a birthday,  graduation or any celebration.

Rockin' birthday card

This card is so easy to make it's ridiculous.   First,  let me say I hardly ever buy scrapbook paper packs unless they are on clearance.   I found a cute rock n roll 12x12 paper pack originally $19.99,  for $4.00 and change.   I also buy blank cards on clearance too.   Always shop the clearance section of your favorite craft store!   So,  I layered a gray card with a piece of the rockin paper and trimmed a coordinating piece with guitars to lay diagonally.   Next,  cut out a 3'' circle and edge it with black ink for dimension.   Stamp your Happy Birthday image and embellish.   I used a mini musical note punch that cost $1.00 from Michaels.   Add a pop dot to raise the circle for added imagery.   Great for a boy or a music loving guy!

Baby shower card for a boy

If you are new to card making,  I have an easy card for you to make.   I layered this basic white card with a yellow piece of cardstock.   Take a 2'' hole puncher and punch a piece of paper or use a template if you have one.   I placed my circle  template centered over the card and blotted inside the circle with blue Colorbox ink.    Let your ink dry before stamping your chosen image in black.   Add a piece of ribbon and you are done! 
Tip:  Use a heat embossing tool to quickly dry the ink.
