Computer Guy Birthday card

I have to say Mo Manning has some incredible images for young boys, which are sometimes a little hard to find... and digi is so easy to buy in a pinch and work with that same day! Love that! I needed yet another birthday card for a young boy and this image suited him well.

I started by printing the Mo Manning digital image onto X-Press It card stock and colouring it with Lyra artist and Sansodor.  I then printed out some DCWV 300DPI digital papers.  I stitched them together with a card stock mat and layered them together.  I double matted the image.  I added three diamond eyelets onto the green paper and added some Liquid Pearls to the center of each eyelet.  I also added a photo turn to the top of the matted image.  I then adhhered the layers onto the white card base adding the image with foam adhesive.  Lastly I stamped a Whimsy stamped sentiment onto the yellow card stock with navy ink and added it to the top right hand corner of the image with more foam adhesive.

Baby Girl Baptism

I used another Mo Manning digital image and the coordinating Kindred Creations Cutie Pie Farm kit to match the Baby Boy Baptism card.

I started by printing the image onto X-Press it card stock and colouring it with Lyra artist pencils and Sansodor. I went over the lace of the dress with a Sakura Stardust glitter pen to add a little girly sparkle.  I printed the papers from the Kindred Creations Cutie Pie Farm kit.  I layered the pink striped paper over my card base then added a strip of the green dotted paper which I wrapped with  a piece of ribbon tied in a bow.  I then used the Martha Stewart Deco Flowers PATP on the brown dotted paper and lined the inside with the floral paper.  I adhered it to the card using foam adhesive and slipped the ribbon bow through the brown card stock.  I then also added the image which I cut out in a circle using foam adhesive.  I added some Prima flowers with Pearl and pearl stamen centers to the top right hand corner.  I punched and cut various leaves from the green dotted paper to finish off the floral arrangement.

Baby Boy Baptism card

For this card I used a Mo Manning digital image as well as the Kindred Creations Sweetie Pie Farm digital kit.

I printed the image onto X-Press It card stock, coloured it with Lyra artist pencils and Sansodor.  I printed the papers from the Kindred Creations Sweetie Pie Farm kit as well as the a few star embellishments.  I layered the blue striped paper over my card base then added a strip of the green dotted paper which I wrapped with  a piece of knotted ribbon.  I then used the Martha Stewart Deco Flowers PATP on the brown dotted paper and lined the inside with the star paper.  I adhered it to the card using foam adhesive and slipped the ribbon knot through the brown card stock.  I then also added the image which I cut out in a circle using foam adhesive.  I added some swirls cut with a Marianne Designs die and the the stars from the kit to the top right hand corner.  The stars were adhered using some more foam adhesive.

Birthday Hockey Card

I created this card for a boy who just loves to play hockey. In the fall I had the opportunity to watch him play and taken some pictures, so I was able to go back and find out his team colours. So I used his team colours for this card.

I started by printing out the Mo Manning Hockey Boy image.  I coloured it with Lyra artist pencils and Sansodor, and matted it with an amber card stock.  I then printed some patterned paper from the Kindred Creations Black and White digital paper kit available in the store now.  I started with a square base and layered it with a slightly smaller layer of the stripes 2 paper.  I then took a piece of the herringbone paper and matted it in the amber card stock and stitched them together.  I then took a piece of the spots 2 paper the width of the card and matted it with the amber card stock and used a zig zag stitch along the top and the bottom.  I took a piece of yellow mesh and wrapped it around the card a third of the way up the layer, along with a piece of twine which was threaded through a black button and tied in a bow.  I then adhered the image over that with foam adhesive.  Lastly I embossed a Whimsy Stamps Party Mini Letter Seals stamp along with a Just Rite border stamp onto the Herringbone patterned paper and adhered it with some more foam adhesive.
