Holy Cow!

Holy cow!  It's Friday already!  This is Julie with you today from Muddy Paws & Inky Fingers.  I have a friend with a birthday this month.  She and her husband are retired dairy farmers.  So, I thought this  card was perfect!

I used Great Impressions rubber stamps, E818 - Holy Cow, and C458 - It's Your Birthday to make this card.  There's just a small bit of Copic markers on the E818 - Holy Cow to enhance that adorable cow image. 

A new month-long challenge just started Sunday on the Great Impressions Challenge blog.  It's always Anything Goes, but there's a mood board for inspiration if you'd like to follow it.

Don't forget to check out the Great Impressions Online Store.  They have many wonderful Christmas stamps -- or stamps for ANY occasion! 

Holy Cow...18?!?

Happy Tuesday!  I'm glad you are here for my Great Impressions Stamps design team post today!  We had a very special birthday in our house on Saturday...my youngest son (I have three boys) turned 18 on Saturday!!  Yep, it hit me kinda hard but I'm so excited for him and his future!  Let's get to the card I created for him, shall we?

Cute and so appropriate, right?  I've used the Holy Cow E818 stamp on the outside along with fun birthday papers from SU!  On the inside, below, I've used the It's Your Birthday C458.

I gotta tell ya...I really love this card!  It is so my personality and my sons at the same time!  Now, I'm going to wipe my tears and get on with my day!

Well, that is what I have to share today. THANK YOU so much for stopping by to take a peek at my card! I also would love for you to come and join our monthly challenge! If you use a stamp from the Great Impressions online store, please link it up in our Customer Gallery, too! Until next time, HUGS and happy stamping, friends! :)

Bonfiles Kinda Freak Me Out!

Hello friends!  It is Tuesday so this is Lorie and I'm back to show you a fun and quirky birthday card that I made with a couple of fabulous Great Impressions stamps!  

You know how...every now and then you make a card that just makes you giggle?  Well, for me, this is one of those cards!  I'm from Wisconsin so the cow is totally hilarious and the implications that even the cow is a bit afraid of those candles is just too, too funny!  For this card I used Holy Cow E818 and Freak Me Out! E887.  The Freak Me Out! sentiment is actually one piece but I can see myself using it as two separate sentiments so I just cut it apart.  I've used some SU! paper and a card sketch from SVG Cutting Files for the layout. 

Can you see how this card made me giggle, a lot?!?  Well, I hope you enjoyed this fun card and it gave you some inspiration!

Thank you so much for stopping by today!  I would love to you to join us for our monthly challenge!  If you use a stamp from the Great Impressions online store, please link it up in our Customer gallery, too!
