365 Cards: Cosmo Cricket Mr. Campy!

Happy Wednesday! It's my day to show you the fun you can have with Cosmo Cricket's Mr. Campy! Today's challenge is to make a girly card using these nice earthly colors. Here is my card for the day:

So, here is the funny thing about this card. The ink is STILL wet! I thought I purchased the right ink. I even read the back which said it would dry fast for vellum and other glossy papers, but I guess unless it reads good for ACETATE, then it's no good. So I decided to take the picture and then wipe it clean and get some StazOn. The store I went to was out, but I will have to find it somewhere so I can finish this card off and send it out. I'm a silly ink shopper.

Anyway, I also purchased the Mr. Campy stamp set because I have been wanting it for awhile and thought this was the perfect excuse. I used the woodgrain stamp from it for the background.

I ripped some circles for the flowers and then fussy cut the leaves out of some of the pattern paper.  I love how it turned out (uh, besides the wet ink ; )  It's about as girlie as I could get it! Hmm, now that I think of it, I should have added glitter. That might have helped girl it up a bit.

Anyway, that's all for today. Hope you like what you see and feel inspired! Can't wait to check out your creations so get crackin'!

have a great day~

365 Cards: Cosmo Cricket Week!

Ok, I know I said I was done for today, but it seems I have something else up my sleeve. I had originally made this card before I realized this was the same paper pack that was being show-cased today. I didn't want to put up two cards with the same pack, plus it's not my pack to show. But I did have it in my stash and I just love it so much so I made up something and thought I would share it anyway. Here is my boy's birthday card using Jack's World:

I made up some 'happy birthday loads' (uh, that sounds odd) to put into my train. I added some stickles to make it a sparkly load hoping it would feel a little more birthday-ish. I realize it could just make me look crazy ; )
And of course I had to add some buttons which I tried really hard to leave off of the card earlier today. I just can't go a day without them! So that really is it today. Hope you have a great night and see you tomorrow for my 365 Cards Cosmo Cricket Challenge!

365 Cards: Cosmo Cricket Week!!

Oh what fun yesterday was with all the girly-ness 'in the house'! Today we are switching it up. The challenge at 365 Cards is to make a boy's birthday card. Tammy is showcasing another Cosmo Cricket paper pack so be sure to stop by her blog and check it out! I think I forgot to add in Gloria's link yesterday, so if you didn't get a chance to see what she made yesterday (so cute and girly) stop by her blog too to say hi. Ok, for today I pulled out another Cosmo Cricket pack I have in my stash; Cogsmo.

Here is my card:

All of it is from the Cogsmo paper pack except the rocket stamp (by Pink Paislee) which I paper pieced onto CC paper and the 'happy birthday' sentiment which is Papertrey Ink. I love making cards with these packs, they honestly come together SO fast, which is great when you still have a bazillion other things you need to do before bedtime! Here is a close up:
I picked up some Gelly Roll pens today with a 50% off coupon. So I drew on the rocket a bit to give it some interest. It was boring me a bit ; ) AND I picked up this cute circle/bubble line punch too. It's REALLY fun to play with cause it leaves all these little circles all over your desk! I am pretty sure the kids and I will love playing with it and mr. husb will hate the mess it leaves all over the floor ; )

ok, so that's all for today (I think...) I plan to show you an ALL Mr. Campy card tomorrow with a fun challenge so be sure to check back! The card I made to show you is still drying... you will see why tomorrow ; ) I hope it's done by then! 

Thanks for stopping by and for leaving me love! Have a great day!
