Seize the Birthday - Dots

 Hello Friends.  It is time for our new challenge at Seize the Birthday and Shirley has chosen Dots as our "Topping Option" for us to play with.

 

 

 I chose Memory Box Small Circle Burst for my dots - center circle cut out and the dots fade out to small and smaller.  I die cut the white panel and then embossed it with SU Subtle EF (ret.) to give it a little texture.  I stamped the sentiment from SU Labeled With Love in the center of the cutout on the Soft Sea Foam green card base, then glued the white panel on.  The flowers are from Gina K. Designs Delicate Flowers Stamp, Die & Stencil set.  After stamping the flowers in Memento Tuxedo Black, I used the stencils and SU inks - Azure Afternoon & Granny Apple Green to color them.  I then die cut them with the matching dies and mounted the flowers with small pieces of foam tape and glued the stem down at the bottom.  I really like the finished card.

You can check out all the inspiration by the TEAM and our Party Guests using Shirley's Dot "topping" and I hope to see you in our gallery.

Thanks for stopping by.  Have a wonderful day.

 

Happy Stamping,

Two More Christmas Cards

 Hello friends.  I am slowly getting my Christmas cards done and have two more to share today.  Both of these were inspired by several cards I saw on Pinterest using The Greetery's Big Beautiful Bow. I cannot find the original cards.

My first card uses different dies, sentiment and embossing folder.  The original card used a different big bow die and greenery dies, a different background and sentiment. The layout and colors are based on the card I saw.

 

For my card I embossed the white panel with SU Exposed Brick EF and mounted it to a Blushing Bride panel, then to the white card base.  I cut the bow die from Blushing Bride and inked the centers before gluing the pieces together. The foliage is from different dies and I am not sure which ones I used.  The sentiment is from SU Brightest Glow (ret.).

 

This card  was inspired by one of Bette Manning's cards and is almost the same except for the foliage dies.  The white panel is cut with The Greetery's Herringbone Parquet Die and mounted to a SU Pear Pizzazz green panel.  The bow is cut from SU Real Red and layered together.

Thanks for stopping by.  Have a wonderful day.

Happy Stamping,
