Heartified: Hexagon Happy Birthday

The internet is where I get most of my inspiration from these days - gotta LOVE Pinterest.  It does have it's drawbacks, though.  If I papercrafted as much as I surfed and Pinned, I'd be all caught up on my scrapbooks!  LOL  I think I hear a New Years resolution coming on. 


Time to start setting my timer when I sit down at the computer.  Won't be so bad, though, once I get the desk and computer moved upstairs into one of the spare rooms that I have designated our new office.  The distraction sits in my craft room right now and it needs to be gone!  :-)


Anyway, I saw this card  on Pinterest and I am really into Hexagons right now so I knew I had to CASE it, using CTMH products of course!


Here is what I came up with:

Supplies (all CTMH unless specified):

Cardstock: Juniper, Cotton Candy, Colonial White

Inks:  Juniper, Cotton Candy

Embellishments: Z1263 - Bitty Sparkles, Z1732 - Color Ready Seam Binding ribbon

Punches:  Flower

Other:  Artbooking Cricut Cartridge

First Birthday Card

I had given my grandson a store-bought card for the actual day of his First Birthday but when it came to party time, I just had to make it from scratch.  

Most of his room and many of his clothes are monkey themed so, of course, monkeys had to be a big part of the card.  

I cut the 1 and the # piece with our Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge using our Chocolate and Sky cardstock. The banners I just did by hand.  Those adorable little monkeys are from our (C1558) Wild Wonders stamp set, using Chocolate and Sky ink - an easy way to get just the right background for the card.  All edges have been inked with Chocolate ink, as well, just to give the card a little more dimension.

I also popped up the #1 with 3-D Foam Tape for a little more ooomph.  

Happy Birthday in Chocolate is from our (D1560) Holiday Tags stamp set.  

Just LOVE how the whole card came out .... and I didn't even use any bling!  Totally out of character for me.  Bling usually finds it's way onto my cards.  :-)

Thanks for looking!!!!
