A Snappy Birthday

  • by

I still have two puppy cards to share, but I’m not sure whether one of my great nephews was a dog lover or not so I pulled out an old favorite from Neat and Tangled–Later Alligator–and came up with this card:

Snappy

Once again I used my Scan-N-Cut to cut the stamped images before coloring them with Copic markers. I used a new-to-me coverplate, Doubled Striped Card Front from Concord & 9th for the background and added some grass from Papertrey Ink’s Into the Meadow dies.

I don’t think I’ve ever used the cute little bird balloon, but it added just enough extra interest. The sentiment was stamped and then die cut with Honey Bee’s Sentiment Banner dies.

“Animal Antics” is still live at The Paper Players Challenge so this is headed their way as well as to NBUS since the Concord & 9th coverplate finally saw some action.

  1. As if the alligators weren’t cute enough, you slayed me with that bird balloon, Karen! He will get such a kick out of this fun design! Thank you for inspiring everyone to use their NBUS! And because you got inky, I’m 📌ing to IDEAS! Hugs, Darnell

  2. Karen what could be cuter than a trio of alligators? Well, a cute bird balloon too – I love it! The diecut background is a great way to add a subtle additional detail to your sweet little scene. I’m sure this card will be a hit with your great nephew! Thanks for sharing with us over at The Paper Players this week!

  3. Oh lucky you with a scan’n cut.(col). Cute card. Your Great Nephews are going to get a chuckle out of the alligators (& bird balloon) delivering their birthday wishes.

  4. Wowza, these little gators are as cute as can be! Your coloring is superb! That cover plate in the background adds such a fun touch, as does the “grass”! SO cute! Thanks for playing with my theme challenge this week at the Players!

  5. Oh, your alligators are having such a fun time. Such a great take on our challenge. I bet your nephew loved this card! So glad you shared it with us at The Paper Players this week
