Big Birthday Wishes

Hello and happy Thursday friends.  It is time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday and this time we have the "Toppings" option of "make us laugh".

I have this cute Art Impressions stamp set that I got from a friend and I thought it would be perfect for this challenge.  It is the first time I have used it. These 3 ladies look like they are having lots of fun icing that big cake and sampling the icing. :)  I colored the image with Copics and Promarkers and then die cut it with a Lil' Inker Designs die.  I put it back in the die and cut it shorter to fit my card.  The sentiment is from the same set.  I matted the image panel and the sentiment with SU Chocolate Chip CS.  The pattern paper is from my stash.

I hope you will check out all the fun cards by our guest designer and the rest of the team over at Seize the Birthday and join in the fun.

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

Happy Stamping,

Happy Anniversary

Hello friends.  I am sharing an anniversary card I made for a couple at church.  I have 6 anniversary cards and several birthday cards to make for March. :)

For this card I used Gina Marie Designs die cut and Altenew Peony Bouquet stamp and die set.  I stamped the flower in 3 shades of pink ink and the leaves in green. I mounted the flower with foam tape and stuck the leaves underneath the edge.  The sentiment is an older PSX stamp I got from Ebay.  I added some tiny pink pearls for accents.  The green dotted paper is from an older Simple Stories 6x6 pad.

I am linking my card to Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Anything Goes.

Thanks so much for stopping by and taking a look.  I truly appreciate your comments.

Have a wonderful day.

Peace for CAS Christmas Card Challenge

ETA:  Wow, my card was chosen as the Top Pick at CAS Christmas Card Challenge.

 This is my card for the CAS Christmas challenge - Peace.

I die cut Impression Obsession Peace die from silver foil cardstock and the Penny Black Manger die from silver foil and heavy white cardstock and offset them slightly so the silver would show.  I mounted the Manger die in an opening created with an MFT die.  The panel behind it is made using the faux mother of pearl technique.  I used Frost White paint, SU Marina Mist and Wild Wasabi inks.  The photo below shows the pretty shine on the panel and the silver foil cardstock.  I really like the way it turned out.  The mat is SU Marina Mist cardstock.

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

Happy Birthday Panda

Hello friends.  I am sharing a card I made for a young girl at church.  She is turning 6 and I thought this panda with balloons would make a fun card for her.

The panda, balloons and sentiment are from SU Sale-a-Bration last year.  The panda, 2 of the balloons and the sentiment are mounted with foam tape.  I hand drew the balloon strings.  I colored the balloons to match the designs in the pattern paper which is from a DCWV pad.  I thought it look festive with all the colors and the design.   The white panel is cut with a die from MFT.  A quick and simple card but I like the way it turned out.

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

Happy Anniversary for The Flower Challenge

Hello friends.  I am sharing a card I made for a couple at church using my new stamps and dies, so I am linking it up at The Flower Challenge #29 - Use your latest Stamps or Dies.

The flowers are from Sunny Studio Everything's Rosy.  I stamped them with 3 shades of blue and the leaves with 3 shades of green.  I then die cut them with the matching dies.  The flowers are mounted with foam tape and the leaves are just glued down.  The die cut panel is made with Sunny Studio Frilly Frames-Lattice.  The sentiment is a Verve stamp and I punched it with a SU punch and mounted it with foam tape.

Thanks so much for stopping by and taking a look.  I appreciate it when you take the time to leave me a comment.  I hope you have a wonderful day.

Happy Stamping,

Happy 1st Birthday

Happy Valentine's Day and happy Thursday.  It is time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday and this time it is "Anything Goes" as long as it is for a birthday.

My card is for a sweet little one at church who happens to be turning 1 year old today, Valentine's Day.  The cute little face on this Whimsey Stamps digital image (Fistful of Flowers) reminds me of her.  I colored her pants with SU Balmy Blue lt. & dark Blends and the rest with Copics.  I added some clouds with a Taylored Expressions Cloud Border die and lt. blue ink.  The pink pattern paper is from DCWV Basics & Brights 8x8 pad.  The SU Balmy Blue scallop mat is cut with MFT Blueprints 20 die.

I hope you will check out all the fabulous cards by my teammates at Seize the Birthday and hope to see your cards in our gallery.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Your comments are greatly appreciated.
Have a wonderful day.

Happy Stamping,

Thank You

A friend requested several assorted themed cards and this is one of the cards I am making for her.

The flowers are from an older SU set, Vintage Vogue, stamped in Flirty Flamingo ink.  I added white enamel dots to the center of the flowers.  The leaves are from Papertrey Ink Gran's Garden set stamped in Pear Pizzazz.  The DSP is Blushing Bride from the Subtles 6x6 collection and is matted with Blushing Bride card.  The sentiment is from SU Southern Serenade stamped on an MFT doily die.
