Smitty’s ABCs

Happy Cards for Special Occasions with Ivy

Ivy is with us today to share two totally clever cards, one for a wedding and another for a birthday!

The first card is a unique wedding card that Ivy made at friend’s request! The taking the leap pun refers to the wedding on leap day! This super fun design is great for non-leap year weddings as well! She added the custom message using Smitty’s ABCs and Black Licorice ink!

Ivy used the cute frogs from Toadally Awesome along with “congrats”! She placed the frogs in a pond made with Stitched Pond and Stitched Pond Frames. Then she added the movement with Slide on Over Semicircles!

Ivy used beautiful Shimmer cardstock for the pond and lotus flowers to give this some special occasion pizzazz!

Ivy’s birthday card uses our new birthday mini set, Year Ten! Inside this card is where all the fun happens with Pop-Up Happy Birthday and Oliver’s Stitched ABCs! I love the festive color scheme featuring Cilantro, Peacock and Sugarplum cardstock!

The happy little Year Ten cactus is so sweet! The trio look adorable framing the pop-up greeting!

Thank you so much for sharing this happy cards with us today, Ivy!

Ivy’s Mushroom House Birthday Card!

Ivy joins us today to share an adorable idea for a birthday card featuring Mushroom House and Mushroom Border! She uses the birthday greeting from Year Three then adds a custom sentiment in a second option!

Ivy created a fun little scene for the Cheery Christmas deer using Mushroom House and Mushroom Border! She cut the grass border from Spiffy Speckles paper and the Simple Puffy Clouds from Watercolor Wishes paper.

Ivy added texture to her card using Woodgrain cardstock in the background and for the Mushroom House door! The cute little Gleeful Gardens snail is waiting inside!

Ivy calls this option, “Lawn Fawn after dark”! She used Smitty’s ABCs to add the punny sentiment with a little bit of sass!

Thanks for sharing your adorable birthday card inspiration with us, Ivy!

Lawn Fawn Video {1.31.19} Remaking an Older Card with Chari!

Chari joins us today with a fun remake of a card she’s made twice before! For this one she uses some new techniques and a couple newer stamp sets! You can watch the video below or click HERE to watch at our YouTube channel.

Thanks so much for watching!

That ink blended sky is so gorgeous! Chari used Distress Oxide inks in Wilted Violet, Blueprint Sketch and Chipped Sapphire, then she added shimmery stars by flicking on Gansai Tambi Starry Colors watercolor paint.

In the video Chari demonstrates how she altered the glass of milk from Cozy Christmas to look like a cute little marshmallow! She stamped the custom sentiment using Smitty’s ABCs! The moon is from Love You S’more and the stars are in our Upon a Star set.

This is such a sweet and creative design for Valentine’s Day!

Here are the older versions of Chari’s fun card design!

Chari made this card in August of 2011 after a fun camping trip! She used the “to: Santa” note from Cozy Christmas to make the cute little tents! So clever! The moon and stars are from Plus One, our first new baby set! The sentiment is Chari’s own printing! Click HERE for a link to the original blog post for this card!

For this version, made in October of 2011, Chari added her sentiment using Harold’s ABCs!

Thanks so much for this fun stroll down your crafty memory lane, Chari! I’m sure this will inspire other cardmakers to revisit their favorite card designs too!
