Hello friends. Welcome to our last Seize the Birthday Challenge for 2025. Our team will be taking a break until next year. Hope you have a wonderful holiday season. For our last challenge Ashiwini would like us to use our Christmas supplies for our birthday cards. Of course it can always be an "Anything Goes" birthday project.
I used Waffle Flower Poinsettia Frame Die & Stencil set as I thought the poinsettias looked good to use for a birthday card. I die cut some single flowers and also the frame die and used the stencil to blend the flowers with SU Flirty Flamingo and Regal Rose inks. The leaves were blended with SU Just Jade ink. I cut the frame section apart to use different parts. I used the berries & leaves section and the smallest flower from the frame die. I layered 3 flowers together and added a gold gem to the center, glued it in the top left corner of a white panel embossed with Taylored Expressions Weathered EF. I had stamped the greeting from an older SU set in Shaded Spruce ink before embossing it. I then glued the leaves under the edges. I used 2 flowers the same size to layer together for the bottom right corner, also adding a gold gem to the center, and gluing the leaves under the edges. I placed this white panel on a Shaded Spruce panel cut with a SU Scalloped Contours die, then glued to the white card base. I think it is a perfect card for someone with a December birthday.
Check out all the inspiration by the team and our party guests and join in this fun challenge. Can't wait to see what you create with your Christmas supplies.
Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day.
Happy Stamping,
JoAnn

ReplyDeleteYour pink poinsettias look beautiful with the green scalloped frame, JoAnn. The fancy birthday font fits right in.
ReplyDeleteEverything on this card goes together so well from the wonderful script on the front to the scalloped frame and yes those pink poinsettias. I have several friends December birthdays including my son. I will take some inspiration from you.
