Today's card is made using the Martha Stewart Birthday Cake Art cartridge. It is so perfect for birthday cards! I made this one for my little English nephew. Do you think that I remembered to give it to him though while they were here last week? NO! What is wrong with me? I am like the saying about the cobbler's children having no shoes. I have drawers full of cards and constantly forget to send them out. I need help.
 |
| The paper used is Jillibean Soup. |
 |
| I cut the circle out at 3 1/2" and the 'st' is cit out at 1". |
 |
| The stamps are from Papertrey Ink. |

«Oldest ‹Older 1 – 200 of 303 Newer› Newest»Aw Cute! I am always forgetting to send cards. They are perpetually late! I borrowed the phrase from my son's Godmother..."You're birthday isn't over until you get the last card/present." :)
very cute card!

OMGOODNESS! This is such a CUTE card! LOVE that Jillibean Paper! And don't worry that you didn't give it to him while he was here visiting... we all forget especially while you're having lots of fun! :o) Just mail it and yes he may get it late... But I don't think you have to worry about him remembering since he's only gonna be 1! LOL Thanks for sharing such a great card! :o)

I love this paper! My cards are usually late as well. :)
Love the card! I just started cardmaking, but choke when I need to make one for anyone in particular. I guess the art part is easy, but the personal part is harder... :) I need to plan ahead I guess. I've got to craft two tomorrow or else they'll be late!! Yikes! Thanks for the chance to win a cart. Love your blog!

cute card! I just found out that the Hallmark card program has a calendar feature for reminders - I'm going to check it out. I always forget extended family birthdays... and I have a whole box of finished cards.
Very cute card.
Cute card...great paper!! Lee-Ann :)
This is a really cute "little dude" card! My problem is not that I forget to send the cards but rather that I never seem to be able to get it to the post office. I get the card and envelope made and addressed but then it sits on my desk until it's late or almost late. I just need to get a postal scale so I can do everything online! It sounds like you need to use your computer calendar to set up reminders for mailing yours out. Thanks for the chance to win this awesome cartridge. I have been wanting it since it came out.
Love the cute card. I'm sure your nephew will love to have it anytime. We should teach them to celebrate the whole month that way we'll always have time to get our cards in. Smooches... Felicia at frankleecrafts[at]gmail[dot]com
Very, very cute!
Love the papers, pen stitching & rick-rack!! Amy :)

How cute and the paper would work for any age-just change the number inside. I always say-just keep celebrating ! Glad all had a good visit.
Cute card, I have the same problem always late. I have a stamp that says not late just saving the best for last.
This card is adorable! I absolutely LOVE Martha Stewart products - you'd never know that a cake cartridge would make such a great card if it weren't for these kinds of blogs.
I love this card--great use of color.
So cute. Love the colors you used.
Very cute card. Love colors of number paper!

Oh, what a sweet birthday card! Nice job.
I love the card. The paper is great. As for being late getting the card out, I bought a stamp that says "This card is not late, I just have to have the last word".
girls -you have to get a calendar on your computer that reminds you of the birthdays. It stays there until you forward it to the next year or dismiss it - I use mine faithfully so I don't forget. Love the card and hope to win the giveaway. TFS

Cute and simple card! Easy to whip up in a flash!!
I forget to get cards in the mail, too ~ sometimes I think I should just make all my cards belated ones because that's what they always are! :o)
Cute card. I too do that frequently, buy cards(and gifts) and forget to give and send them. Can't wait for hello Thursday releases.
Cute card. Love it. If I make my card too far in advance, I too forget to send them every time.
The Happy 1st Birthday card is so cute! I am going to try my hand at making one. Thanks for the ideas.

I wish I had a drawer full of cards...but then of course I would forget to send them out on time...or even send them out at all!
Very nice card. Great design and can be played up. A design I want to play with.

I have an old ceramic toast rack. I make all my cards for a month and stack them in date order (penciled mailing date in corner where stamp will go) in the rack. I check the rack each morning before going downstairs to see what has to be mailed. That is the only way I can remember. Love your cards.
What an adorable card! too cute :)

I love the numbers on the background paper. So cute! I am the world's worst when it comes to sending out cards. ;-)
I love the birthday card you made for your nephew. I had trouble sending out cards that I bought at the store but now that I am making cards I find it easier to remember to send them. TFS {{Hugs}}
Cute, cute card. I subscribe t your blog and really like your work. Thanks for the opportunity to win Ornamental Iron. It looks like a great cart.

I love this card it is really cute.The colors and patterns compliment each other well.
Cute cards! I'm always late with cards, too, and forgetting to mail them (also activities.) I keep a calendar but still forget. Would love the Ornamental Iron cartridge as it's one I don't have. Thanks for your daily ideas!
Melanie: I have just the opposite problem. I am constantly needing cards, but can't seem to remember to make them up far enough in advance to have a reasonable stock. Too bad we don't live close, we could team up and solve each others problems!
HAHAHAHAHA that is so true about me to Melanie....so many cards, yet do I send any out,...NO!!!!!
I have this paper , I just love it!!!!!
your card is super cute.
TFS!!!!
Great card!
Loving It! Thanks for the creative inspiration :)

I make 100's of cards a year for OWH, but forget to send any out to my family. It is sad and I should do better. I tell myself to do better and even get the card ready for the mailman, but think I will wait a few days so they can get it closer to their Birthday or the Holiday and then forget to mail it at all. Shame on me, LOL!
Love your card, it is a very nice one that you could easily change to 2 or 3. TFS

The color combination & the ric-rac mirroring the jagged edge of the circle is so artfully done- I love this card!
I really like the card. I don't get too fancy for little kids' cards. After all, they don't really care.
Great card.
