~*~ Jen's Happy Birthday Blog Hop ~*~

Welcome to Jen's Happy Birthday Blog Hop!

If you came here from Sarah - www.pinkcricut.com then you are in the right place but if you just happened across my blog then you will want to start at the beginning at

Now on to the hop.

First, I want to thank Jen for asking me to be apart of her Birthday celebration.

This hop has been so much fun to prepare for. For this hop we were asked to do anything birthday themed. My oldest is turning 10 on the 23rd and has requested a Batman themed birthday this year so I though I'd try my hand at my very first banner.

For the banner I used my Batman: The Brave and the Bold cartridge.

(Here is a close up)

My son wanted both pieces to be embossed and he chose the "Diamond Plate" CB folder for the bat shapes and CB "Tiny Mosaic" folder for the letters. We also used silver ink to go over the diamond plate texture.

I also made him a card to go with his gift. (He really loves cards and actually saves them on his book shelf.)

Now for the candy: I'll be mailing out a $10.00 gift card from Michael's. You do not have to be a follower to win but if you like my blog then it would be awesome if you were to follow me.

Just leave a comment with a way for me to get in contact with you.

Now you are on to the wonderful and talented:

Joker Birthday Card ~ Batman:The Brave and the Bold

I made this card for my Nephew's Birthday. The Joker was cut at 4.25 in and so was the brick background. Instead of cutting out the top layer of the bricks I just ran a sharpie really quick over the red layer. I then inked all around the bricks with some brown, gray, and black. I used a Martha Stewart glitter marker along the top of the green piece and also green Stickles on the eyes.

This is the inside of the card. I printed the sentiment from my computer.

This was really a simple card. I think is only took me around 15 min. to make. My boys absolutely loved it! I hope you also enjoy and have a great day. :)
