bummer birthday

bummer birthday, a photo by eatzycath on Flickr.

a birthday card for my bro-in-law ..... simple, sedate and very 'guy-ish'.... until you open the card ......

and suddenly that 'back-side' pops out at you, all wobbly and shaking - courtesy of the action wobble attached to it! Hope he gets a chuckle from this!

The stamps (both the front and back images, and the 'bummer' sentiment) are from Art Impressions - Shake Your Booty - Bummer Set.

The design for the front of the card was taken from this week's CAS(E) this Sketch #44.

let's play

Paper Smooches have the cutest ever critters around - when I was stamping and coloring this little chick from the Paper Smooches - Chubby Chums collection, I couldn't stop smiling - and hopefully so will whoever gets this card!

The swing stamp is from Magnolia stamps, and the little chick is attached to the swing using an action-wobble spring which creates this really cute bouncing effect on the chick when tapped from the side - hard to explain and harder to photograph the 'wobbling' effect - so you might want to check out the Action Wobbles blog for better pics on the wobbling!
