Meet Magnum!

Hey there hens!! Hope y'all had a nice weekend!! We had lot's of rain in Florida this weekend with Tropical Storm Bonnie coming through, but we needed the rain and it makes for a GREAT crafting weekend!! Hey, works for me!! LOL!!

So lookee what I have for you hens today!! This is Magnum.... my new LOVE!! Ain't he CUTE?? OMG, I SO love this guy! This is a new line of stamps that I'll be designing for called Ladybug Crafts Ink. The owner, Kerry, is just the sweetest person EVER!! So when she asked if I'd do a few cards for her new company, I said - YOU BET!! Helllloooooo??? Like who wouldn't want to play with this adorable kitty??? Uh, another no brainer!! I was like, "me-me-me-me, pick me!!" (hands waving frantically)

This particular Magnum is called "Add On Magnum" and he comes with the birthday cake and sentiment (although I didn't use it here). There is also a cute companion set called "Add Ons" that has all sorts of cute images for his hand. I've gotta try those fish bones!! Bwah-ha-ha-ha!! Oh that'd be hilarious!! Me LOVEEEEE funny cards!! Tee-hee!!

Ok, so first I stamped Magnum onto some Fanboy CS and then I stamped the cake on top of his paw and then again on a scrap piece of CS. Of course, that's the BESTEST thing about CLEAR stamps... there's no need for a Stampa-ma-jig cuz' you can see right through them!! So the placement of the cake was EASY PEASY!! Next, I colored Magnum and the extra cake with my Copics and then cut the extra cake out and adhered it on top with a few dimensionals, so it looks like his arm is coming right out of the picture!! He-he!! I want some of that cake! YUM!!

Ok, then I matted the image onto some SU Real Red CS and stitched around the edges. I added lots of shine to the icing on the cake and also added some glitter around the candle, as well. This DP is from October Afternoon's Report Card collection and I thought the bright colors were PURRR-FECT for a birthday card! To finish, I punched a hole in the upper right hand corner of the image and threaded through this striped grosgrain ribbon and tied it in a cute bubbly bow!! Okee dokee, that's it from the hen house today. Be sure to leave a cluck below and lemme know whatcha think of Magnum, k? If you're like me, you CAN'T (um, how bout WON'T!) live without him! LOL!! So head on over to Ladybug Crafts Ink and check out ALL the Magnums, not to mention some of the cutest little rascal kids you've ever seen!! I gotta have them too! Have a GREAT Monday!! {{{hen hugs}}}
