MIM: A la Carte: Confetti

   Back with another card for this week's A la Carte MIM Challenge at PTI.  This time I chose the video Make your Own Confetti by Danielle Flanders. I just found out one of my nephews is turning 40. I couldn't miss this opportunity to send him a card. I thought the confetti card was perfect.

I also included the technique "Camouflaging Die Cuts. I think that technique is awesome.  I've tried it before and wanted to do it again. Since I used my Cameo to cut the numbers, I had to estimate placement of numbers. The shading is a bit higher than I would have liked.  Thanks for stopping by to take a peek.

MIM: Blown Ink

I am playing along with the challenge this week at PTI's'MIM. I didn't have too much luck using PTI's ink as it mostly saturated the card and didn't seem to go anywhere when I blew through the straw.  Maybe I am not full of hot air afterall. I switched to Glimmer Mist and got a better result although most of it came out spidery..

 I used the striped IP for some added background texture which didn't seem to show up in the photo.

I am not really crazy about the way the card turned out, but it is going to one of my teenage neices who has a birthday next month. I think it would be perfect for a young girl. 

CAS-ual Fridays is continuing with their birthday challenge. So I will link this card up there too!

 Thank you for stopping by to take a peek.

Another Reto christmas card.

  This is my 2nd card for the current challenge over at  Festive Friday. The theme is retro.

  I used the balloon die on glossy card stock from Stylish Birthday and added some gold glossy paper on top to make the ornaments. 

 My goal is to make 2 Christmas cards per week. I've been at it for a month. Hope I can continue this trend. Thanks for stopping by to take a peek.
