Super 4 year old Birthday

This card was all but finished when the mailman made his rounds today.  Guess I'll be making a stop at the post office, in hopes that it will make it to its destination on time.

This is a Double Z Fold card.  

I followed a tutorial by Sandi MacIver here.  Thank you, Sandi! 

The Super Heroes were fussy cut from a sheet of scrapbook paper.  The sentiments were computer generated.

The number 4 was a made using a Recollections die.

How cute is this?

 

The image is from an old wooden Penny Black stamp that I recently discovered in my stash.  It is colored with both markers and watercolor.  Papers and sentiment are from CTMH.

August is almost over!

 It's high time I post my card for the August Outlawz Freebie/Progressive Challenge.

supplied a fun image, New Car, for everyone to play with this month.

 

It's that time of year when the kids are heading back to school.

My grandson already has his parking permit. It will be his first year driving himself to school.  The girls next door will be piling as much as possible in their cars to head off to college.  

With that in mind, I made this card:

I flipped the image so the steering wheel was on the correct side for here in the US.  Then I printed the car in green and brown, fussy cut and paper pieced, adding clear windshields, headlights, a front plate with Good Luck Dazzles, and coloring the tires.  The stamp on the banner and the papers are from CTMH.

Butterfly Birthday Cards

 These 2 cards are not what I planned to make.  I was going for quick and easy.   But the butterfly paper was on the top when I opened my box of paper pieces......

These are both top fold cards.  Sentiments are CTMH stamps.  One of my friends gave me the stamped butterflies.  The curvy die is from SU.  The stitched rectangle die is from ODBD.  And the scalloped black rectangle was from Amazon.
