Yesterday, I mentioned that it was my Partner Darryl's Birthday, it seems as though he enjoyed his day as best as he could with being at work...tonight I was supposed to go out for a work do, but with some not so nice family news this morning, I needed to stay by the phone tonight so I am home...we will be celebrating tomorrow night with a nice Chinese dinner...
I thought tonight I would share with you all the card that I created for him, and mind you I whipped this up about 10mins before leaving for work yesterday...talk about a quick card...LOL.
Trimming white card stock and applying distress inks, Stormy Sky, Broken China and Tumbled Glass as a layering effect up the card stock, stamping the Magical Background stamp that was inked with Soft Pool ink to the blended card stock...stamping the fish from the Oceans of Joy stamp set (and did not realise until after creating the card the name of the stamp set was quite appropriate...LOL) I also stamped the fish onto white card stock and coloured in with Copics, trimming the fish out and adhering a googly eye. I adhered the card stock to a trimmed Blue Layering paper that had been run through the Cuttlebug, embossing the front with a Sizzix embossing folder and sanding down the embossing parts to show the white core of the layering paper. I stamped bubbles from the fish up to a stamped tag with a sentiment from the same stamp set. Finally, adding Glossy Accents to the bubbles and adhering the coloured fish with foam dimensionals complete.
Here is a close up of the card...
To honour Darryl's Birthday, I thought I would share some goodies to one lucky person...so yes I am having another giveaway....to enter just leave one comment per person on this blog post telling me what would be your dream birthday...comments will close on Wednesday 27th of July at 11:00pm (Australian Time).
Here is what you could win....
Alrighty, I am off to relax and watch some television...
Have a wonderful night...
Hugs

I love that card! And I can't believe you whipped it up in 10 mins - it would take me a lot longer (a lot, lol) congrats on joining the SS design team - and happy belated birthday to your partner!
Now this is a cute outcome in a short time. Love it Joy. My dream B'day would be to have my family and the new crafty friends I made from the bloggy World in a big room sharing the happy feeling meeting each other.Thanks for giving a chance to win.
Cute card Joy! I don't really like when people make a big deal about my birthday so I guess I'd just say a nice dinner out with family and presents...I do like presents LOL!
Such a cute card, can't believe you can make them so fast!! Oh to have your talent. And I missed your announcement - YAY!!! Very happy for you!! But sorry you had some bad family news. No need to include me in the drawing, I already own that cute set. But my dream birthday would be on an Alp watching le Tour! Too bad my birthday is in August... :-)
Awesome card! I love the sentiment and that fish is so cute! Love the colored background and the bubbles...very clever and amazing how quickly you whipped it together. You're a true artist, Joy! Thanks for the giveaway too:)
That is such a great card. I am really happy you are showing the list of supplies that you use.
Just getting all that out to make the card would take me more then 10 minutes :-)
My dream birthday would be a day of rest, no work or house work, ending with a good restaurant.
SUCH a cute card! Honestly, I was hoping for my dream bday this year but it didn't happen. I would have loved to have spent the evening of my 40th with my girlfriends, getting dinner and drinks and just hanging out. Unfortunately, after our recent move, they were 10hrs away. Oh well. There are other years.
Love how you've used so much color on the fish, and belated congrats on the new DT, been thinking about newspaper since I saw your card yesterday... a card is brewing... Best birthday plans? No plans... just some time for me. This year I worked on my birthday, but I loved that my blogging pals threw me a virtual b-day party :)
My dream birthday would be to go to the Superbowl (NFL final game) in person, with my hubby in tow :D

My Dream Brithday would be to celebrate it with Mickey Mouse and my Prince Charming (aka my DH) in Disney World.
I got my nearly perfect birthday this year.. a working-free day together with my boyfriend in the nature. Only the weather wasn't that perfect.
Had to comment 'cause this card is so cute! My dream birthday would be spent with family on the beach!!!!

my dream birthday would be to craft around the clock with my friends!! =)
hugs, SannaS
My dream birthday would be to spend the entire day with my husband and my two kids doing family things together. We rarely get to spend time all together!
Can't believe you made that card so quickly! I always take forever to make a card... ;-)
My dream birthday would involve lots of stamps, ink, paper and good friends! ;-)
Oh Joy I'm sorry to hear about you receiving some not-so-good family news - sending my hugs and positive vibes your way.
Wow! 10 Mins? Seriously? This is such a cool guy card - LOVE the addition of the glossy accents!

Fab card, love the distressing, coloring and layering. For my birthday, I just want a little bit time to myself from working, momming, house work etc.
Happy, happy about your Simon Says news, Joy! :-) Happy birthday to Darryl. And I do hope your family news isn't too bad.
I think your birthday fishes card is stunning, especially considering you did it in such short time. I am a tad jealous of speedy crafters. ;-)
I'm picturing spending my dream birthday surrounded by family and friends in some beautiful Caribbean spot (a destination birthday, if you will)! Thanks so much for the cool giveaway. :-)
having a lovely picnic on a nice warm sunny beach and then flying a kite
Oh man, I love the funky way you coloured that fish! Such a fun card! My dream birthday, most likely to go hiking in Africa and be surrounded by lions, elephant, buffalo, just to feel free in Gods' land!
Joy, how on earth did you make that gorgeous card in only 10 minutes?? Love it! My dream b-day would be on a beach in Hawaii. :) Oh and Happy Birthday Darryl!
I hope all is ok with your family.
my dream b'day would be to visit Ireland, do some geneaology work, meet people i'm related to (distantly) see the church where my g'mom was baptised and so many ancestors are buried. sounds boring to many i guess but i'd love it. and if that doesn't come true, how about a day in bed w a good book and DH taking care of the dog?? a little more doable right. love your card, very cute.
My dream birthday would be to go on 2 mini vacays: one with just my hubby, and one with my closest girlfriends. :) and dinner with my family. Hopefully one of the mini vacays is a trip to harry potter world in FL!
so much fun, My dream birthday would be a day of card making and lots of ideas!
love your card Joy! and really love how the bubbles shine! my dream birthday would be spending the whole day with my family, seeing a musical and then having a nice dinner. and Congrats on your big news!
Wonderful card, Joy! Hope your family news works out okay... Thinking of you.
My dream birthday would involve having my favourite stamping friends meet up in Italy to create and tour together... Sound good? ;)

Hugs

Adorable card! Love the gradient background, it's superb!
My perfect birthday, out for lunch, in for tea... does that mean I'm getting old, or just that my day is in the middle of Winter?
Thanks for another chance to win!
PERFECT card Joy !! I can't believe it only took you 10 mins...it would take me three hours!!! SO sorry to hear you got some bad family news :(

my dream birthday would be having my daughter and her family, my two nieces and their families, my DH, and mom packing a picnic and heading to Conneaut Lake Park for a fun day. (I used to take my daughter and my two nieces there every summer when they were growing up--lots of great memories!)

My dream birthday would be all my family coming in and bringing the food and of course cake and ice cream. Cleaning up afterwards would be awesome too.
My dream birthday would include travelling to another country- I've never left North America, so I'd love to visit another continent!
Hope everything is okay Joy.
Love your 'quick' fish card!
Would take me longer to make.
Love the cute card, that would take me hours, lol. My perfect birthday would be a day to myself to create, followed by a nice dinner and evening with my husband and children.
To hear you made that card in 10 minutes makes me sigh. It takes me more than 10 minutes to take the first step. Ah, welllll. Hope your family issue is settled in a good way.
My birthday is in the Fall, and a very happy one was going apple-picking with my grandchildren. I'd like to do that one again.
Happy Birthday Darryl! Love that you're honoring him with a give away prize. Cool FISH card!
I would love a week in New York! Go to museums, see all the sights! Etc!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DARRYL!! Cute card! My dream birthday would be just hanging out and celebrating with family and friends :)
adorable Joy, what fun fishy colors!
dream birthday...a cruise to Alaska!
Happy Birthday to Darryl!
My goodness, you must be a speedy stamper! And I assumed you were fast-forwarding your videos to speed up the process.... :)
My perfect birthday would be a day off from work, able to sleep in, be served breakfast in bed, then go to my parents house for my favorite meal made by Mom. Nothing fancy....
My dream birthday would be going to a stamp store with endless money!LOL...A few different stamp stores!!
I love all your cards, you are awesome!!
What a great card - it would take me a couple of hours to come up with the idea, never mind making it!
For my ideal birthday, please could you wave a magic wand & transport me to some of the wonderful craft stores in the US (with a good supply of dollars, of course), then magic me back home to go out for dinner with my darling husband. Thanks!
Such a bright and happy card Joy!
My dream birthday...to have a shopping spree in some type of crafty shop that sells all my favourites...and I don't have to pay for it!! Thanks for a chance to win!
Great job with the card..
My dream birthday? To be on the patio at the beach watch the waves go in and out with an adult beverage in my hand, my friends by my side, and crafty goodness inside to work on!
You whipped this up that fast?? Wow! Love that bright coloured fish and the subtle swirly background stamp.
Dream birthday? The be able to eat my whole cake by myself without gaining a pound! :)
wow in 10 min.!!!
My dream birthday would be being somewhere warm as my b-day is in Feb.
Hoping that all will be OK for your family, Joy.
Really cute card - it totally blows my mind that you whipped it up in 10 min!!! Gorgeous design and blending!
My dream birthday would be in Florence, Italy!!! A girl can dream, eh?! :) Please count me out of your generous giveaway.
Happy birthday to Daryl ! My dream birthday would be one in which I am on a holiday with my husband and both of our parents :)
wonderful card Joy... my dream birthday would be to not have to cook my own dinner... and it came true this year when I got invited around to my friend's house for a lovely roast dinner!!!!!!!!!!
I didn't answer the dream birthday question so I will now, but if it disqualifies me I understand! My dream birthday would be to meet up with all my favorite stamper, card maker crafters for a weekend of instruction, fun classes, late nights and shopping for the newest stamps, inks, papers, etc.
Love the card, the bubbles are cute. My dream birthday would honestly be go on a family vacation on a cruise. Have not yet gone away for a vacation or been on a cruise.
Cute card! My dream birthday would be to spend time with hubbie and family ... and of course some craft time ;)
Hi Joy,
Congrats on being chosen as a Design Team member for Simon Says Stamp! Happy belated birthday to Darryl...can't imagine how you made that beautiful card in 10 minutes! Hope all is well with your family.
My dream birthday would involve choosing all the Hero Arts stamps; paper; inks and other supplies that I want and not have to worry about price; getting pampered at a spa; having a lovely dinner; then going out dancing all night long!
Love the colors on the birthday card, both last years and this. I think a dream birthday would include being more fit, being in a relationship-or not. Being in a job in my profession, I am an RN, that is fulfilling. I would also wish for wholeness in my family.
I know this is a lot to ask, but they are also things to work on!!
katie
It's truly a gift that you can manage a card as wonderful as this within 10 minutes - my true birthday wish can sadly never be filled, so instead I would wish for the gift you already naturally possess!!
I love how you've inked this. So effective.
I'm quite happy with low key birthdays with cake, family and no squabbling. The last bits the tricky bit.
Good heavens, if you whip this up in 10 minutes I'd love to see what you whip up in 20!!! Great card...love all the fine details! I think a dream birthday would be a day of no stress with my family...just having FUN!
I love your card and can't believe you can make something so cute so fast!
My ideal birthday would involve a day of strolling around Disney World with my hubby and kiddos. When we're there, everyone's happy! And, as a bonus, I don't feel compelled to do a bit of housework!
Thanks for the opportunity to win!
Hope all is well with your family, Joy. Such a cute card.
My dream birthday would be spending the day at a spa with a couple of friends and then going out to dinner with my family.
I think my dream birthday would be a day at the spa by myself. It would be great to have one entire day to myself.
Cute card - can't believe you created this in 10 minutes. My dream B-day would a day off to do what I'd like! ;-)
Happy Belated Birthday Darryl!
My perfect birthday would be a luxurious, selfish spa day...sigh.
Happy Birthday to your hubby and yes your way of making a card in such short time is remarkable. Wow. So sorry to hear that you had some bad news and pray that everything turns out okay.
Love the card. So fun and love all the detail and sentiment.
I would love to go the only place that I have wanted to go since beening in Middle school and that is Ireland. My ancestory is from there and I love looking at movies, books and anything Irish that shows the lush green fields with stone walls and thatched roof homes. I know they are all not like that but some of the older villages are still this way and would love to be there staying at some Bed & Breakfast, or even a Castle with my dh & ds and enjoying all that this country has to offer. Now that would be a dream come true. Thanks for the chance to win. Hugs.
Happy birthday to Mr D. My dream bday would be in Cancun Mexico with my whole family lol. we love the ocean /beach there.
Hi joy, Congrats on joining simon says stamp team! My dream birthday would comprise of eating alot of chocolate without having to worry about the calories, and enjoying a sunny hot day at the beach x x
I always love your cards, you make them distressed and yet clean and simple at the same time, how is that possible?? I love them!
My dream birthday would be a combination of sleeping in, a day in my craft room and a huge scrappy shopping spree...oh yeah, and I like the idea of eating whatever I like without any calories!!
Gorgeous card - I need a bit more practice to get that done in 10 minutes!
My dream birthday would be one spent with family and friends, enjoying good food and not having to clean up afterwards :)
