Seize the Birthday - Something Sweet

Happy Thursday friends.  We have a new challenge for you at Seize the Birthday and this time we have the "Toppings" option of Something Sweet.


The cupcake image is from Inkadinkado Birthday Cupcake.  I die cut it with MFT Pierced Circle and matted it with Circle Stax 2 dies in SU Pretty in Pink.  I inked around the edges before removing the die.  I colored it with Copics and added Diamond Stickles for the sprinkles and a flower Gemstone by The Paper Studio.  The DSP is from Recollections Bold Basics Paper Pad.  The scallop mat is cut with MFT Blueprints 20 die from SU Pretty in Pink, it matched the paper perfectly.  The sentiment is from the same set and is cut with Cheery Lynn Designs Horizon Fishtail Banners.  The cupcake and sentiment are mounted with foam tape.

I am also entering my card in CraftyHazelnut's May Pattern Paper Challenge

Now don't forget to check out all the "sweetness" the Designers have to share over at Seize the Birthday.  I hope you play along with us.  Can't wait to see what you create.

Happy Stamping,

Birthday Blessings

This is a card I made for a sweet young lady at church.   I used MFT Distressed Stripes background stamped in SU Baha Breeze ink.  I matted it with Baha Breeze CS.  The doily is cut with a Top Dog die.  The sentiment is from Verve's Love Deepens.  I cut the fishtail ends and mounted it with foam tape.  The flowers are cut with SU Botanical Builders Framelits in peach CS scrap from my stash.  The leaves are cut in SU Old Olive and Pear Pizzazz.

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

Happy Anniversary

Good Morning Friends.  I am sharing a card I made for a young couple at church.
I used MFT Tropical Teal CS and DSP from MFT Dots & Stripes 6x6 pad.  The sentiment is from JustRite Large Fancy Sentiments and is mounted on a Spellbinders Heart Circles die cut, then added to the card with foam tape..  The flowers and leaves are made with SU Botanical Builders Framelits.  I added a clear flower Gemstone by The Paper Studio to the centers.  I used a Pointelle Cover Up Die by Lil Inker Designs for the white panel.

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

Seize the Birthday - Creatures or Animals

Hello crafty friends.  It is time for a new challenge over at Seize the Birthday and this time we have the "Toppings" option to use creatures or animals on your birthday project.

I used this adorable bear and balloons from MFT BB Beary Special Birthday and the matching die set.  I colored him with Copics.  I stamped the balloons on the DSP and then paper-pieced them.  The DSP is from MFT Tranquil Textures 6x6 pad.  I used purple as this card will be going to my great-granddaughter and it is her favorite color.  I added a few sequins for some bling.  The black scallop frame is from MFT Blueprints 20.

Now check out all the fabulous cards by our designers over at Seize the Birthday.  I hope you will play along with us.  Can't wait to see what you create.

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

Happy Stamping,
