Mona’s Creative Smoothie Birthday Card

It’s time for a brand-new week and some amazing inspiration with Mona! Today she has another beautiful card featuring her amazing coloring skills!

Mona used the tall mason jar from Summertime Charm to “fill” with a yummy-looking fruit smoothie! I love how her coloring gives the jar the look of glass.

For all the fruit she combined How You Bean Strawberries Add-On, Be Hap-pea for the blueberries and the orange slices are from Summertime Charm. She cleverly used the heart-shaped pizza from Pizza My Heart to create a special waffle!

To learn how Mona colored the “waffle” and “berries” so realistically, you may want to watch THIS video.

Thank you so much, Mona for sharing this gorgeous card with us today! Your coloring is always so amazing!

Elena’s Orange You Glad Party!

It’s Party Time! Elena has another great entertaining idea, Orange You Glad? She shows us how to combine hand-crafted decorations with store-bought items to create a fun and festive orange-themed welcome home party! There’s a photo tutorial at the end to show how to create the fabulous citrusy party backdrop!
To announce the party theme, Elena created a cheerful sign using Quinn’s ABCs and Quinn’s Capital ABCs along with some selectively inked words from Plan on It: Vacation! The question mark is from Riley’s ABCs.

 You can easily personalize store-bought party favors by adding cute Stitched Leaves and Tiny Tags!
 The orange stripes on the purchased candy boxes are a perfect match for this orange-themed party! Fill them with orange candies to carry on the theme!
 More Tiny Tags with a Summertime Charm orange slice decorate the drink bottle while Stitched Leaves add a cute detail to the straws! The tiny “orange juice” is found in So Smooth.
Check out the photo tutorial below for tips on making the orange background! For the cake topper use a circle die cut and Flower Power leaves and blend on color using Lawn Fawn ink.
 To create a stencil use a Circle Stackables die to cut a large circle. Working on a large sheet of white poster paper use the circle stencil to sponge on Lawn Fawn ink in Carrot randomly across the paper.

 Add shading to the “oranges” by sponging on Pumpkin Spice ink.
 Create another stencil using the leaves from Flower Power and add green leaves with Freshly Cut Grass ink.
Use markers or colored pencils to add details and the stem!
We hope Elena has inspired you to do a little entertaining with her brilliant Orange You Glad party!
Thanks so much Elena for another fun and innovative party idea!
