Happy Birthday

I am sharing a birthday card I made for a special friend.

I have had SU Garden in Bloom set for a while and this is my first time using it.  I really like how it is a two step stamp set and how it turns out.  I stamped the flowers in SU Baha Breeze, fussy cut them out and added a glitter Gemstone by The Paper Studio.  The leaves are from Heartfelt Creations Flowering Dogwood stamp and die set.  I stamped them in SU Pear Pizzazz ink on white CS,  and then sponged them with the same ink.  The sentiment is from SU Elementary Elegance (retired).  The DSP is from Recollections Home Basics 6x6 pad.  The top layer is SU Pool Party cut with MFT Stitched Scallop Basic Edges die.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Have a wonderful day.

Thank You

Hello Friends.  Today I am sharing several Thank You cards I made for my helpers with crafts during Vacation Bible School at church last week.  We had almost 20 children in each of 3 classes each night.  They were a big help and I wanted to let them know I appreciated them. 

I used various Stampin Up products and MFT dies.   The one with the horse (MFT set) was made for a lady that works with horses and I thought it was appropriate for her.

If you have any questions, please let me know.

Thanks for stopping by.  I hope you have a wonderful day.

Seize the Birthday - Splatters

Hello and happy Thursday friends.  It is time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday and this week we have the "Toppings" option of using splatters on your birthday project.

For my card I used a piece of watercolor paper sponged with SU Night of Navy and Rich Razzleberry.  They are both lighter when watercoloring with them.  I splatter thinned white paint with a toothbrush for the spots.  This is actually a left over piece from a project I was doing for our Vacation Bible School at church, which is Galatic Starveyors.  So I had followed some tutorials and made it look like the glaxay.    The top white piece is done with MFT Stitched Scallop Basic Edges die and the bottom is done with MFT Stitched Strip die.  The flower is made using MFT Stitched Flowers and SU Marina Mist and white CS.  The leaves are MFT Simple Leaf Flourish cut from the same Recollections CS as the mat.  I snipped it and rearranged it a little.  I used a glitter enamel dot in the center of the flower.

I used MFT Sketch Challenge 342 for my layout so I am linking my card there.


I hope you will check out all the fabulous creations by the designers over at Seize the Birthday and join us for this fun challenge.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Have a wonderful day.

Happiest of Birthdays to You

Good Morning friends.  I have a birthday card for a special friend that I am sharing today.

I was inspired by several different cards on Pinterest, so I combined elements from each one and this is what I came up with.   I used my new Sue Wilson Maggie die by Creative Expressions for the center element and mounted it with foam tape.  The bow is another Sue Wilson die-Classic 3D Itty Bitty Bow.  The sentiment is from SU Birthday Blooms stamped in Smokey Slate ink.  The bottom border is cut with a Spellbinder's die -A2 Scalloped Borders One.  I embossed the large white panel with Cuttlebug Geometric Rings EF and added pearls where the rings join.  The lt. blue CS is from a Recollections pack.  The card is 5-1/4" square and will be hand delivered.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I really appreciate it when you take time to leave me a comment.

I hope you have a wonderful day.

Happy Stamping,

Anniversary Wishes

I have another anniversary card to share today.  I think the card is much prettier IRL.

I used DSP from an older SU 6x6 pad Sending Love.  The sentiment is from Verve's Love Story (retired).  The hearts are cut with Verve"s Heart Quartet die.  The little doily is MFT Mini Delicate Doilies and the banners are cut with MFT Pierced Fishtail Flags and Fishtail Flags Layers.  I added some tiny red enamel dots to the sentiment panel and mounted it with foam tape.  I also added a larger enamel dot to the center of the white heart.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Have a wonderful day.

Seize the Birthday - Red, White & Your Choice

Hello Friends and Happy Thursday.  I hope you have had a wonderful 4th of July week.  It is time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday and this week we have the toppings option of "Red, White, and You - your choice of a third color."

For my card I went with red, white and blue.  I used MFT Party Balloons, MFT Electric Red ink and SU Brilliant Blue ink, stamped off once before stamping the happy birthday balloon.  The red and red & white striped balloons look like pattern paper but they are stamped.  The balloon strings and bows are also stamped, but I drew them longer with my black pen.  The ribbon is some older SU ribbon.  The sentiment is from MFT Make a Wish set.  I used the largest MFT Pierced Oval die to die cut it and then fussy cut the ends.  I embossed the white panel with SU Decorative Dots EF.

Be sure to check out all the fabulous creations by the designers over at Seize the Birthday.  I hope you will be inspired to join us.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I hope you have a wonderful day.
