Seize the Birthday - Add a Tag

 Hello friends.  It is time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday and Jules wants us to Add a Tag to our card.

I used Simon Says Stamp Rustic Layering Flower for my bloom.  I used Pale Papaya card for the flower and blended Grapefruit Grove ink in the centers of the 3 layers, then glued them together.  I added a brown center, colored with a Copic marker.  The leaves are cut from Granny Apple Green and blended with a little Mowed Lawn DOI.  I cut the largest and smallest tags from SU Tailor Made Tags dies (ret.) and mounted the flower on the largest tag and added a bow to the top with a glue dot.  I stamped the sentiment on the small tag.  I cut a panel of Pale Papaya and glued it to the card base and then added a white panel embossed with SU Crosshatch EF (ret).  I mounted the large tag with foam tape and then added the small tag under the flower petals with foam tape.

Check out all the inspiration by the DT and our Party Guest over at Seize the Birhday.  I hope you will join us in this fun challenge.  Hope to see you in the gallery.

I am sharing at AAA Birthday - use die cuts.

Thanks for stopping by.  Have a wonderful day.

Happy Stamping,

Seize the Birthday - Food and/or Drink

 Hello friends.  It is time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday and Glenda would like to see Food and/or Drink on our cards, of course it can be anything goes as longs as it is for a birthday.  I would like to welcome Karen Letchworth who is joining us as our Surprise Party Guest for the next two months.  

I was looking through my stamps to find one with food and found this older SU stamp set Sweet as A Peach and decided to use it.  I used SU Peekaboo Peach (ret.) to stamp the 3 peaches, stamping them twice.  I stamped the leaves twice with Granny Apple Green ink.  I die cut the peaches & leaves with the matching dies and then had to decide how I wanted to use them.  I had recently received this frame stamp & die set by the Greetery, Sweetest Frames, and decided to use it  to place the peaches on.  I stamped it and die cut with the matching dies, then stamped the sentiment from the Sweet as A Peach set.  The pattern paper was laying on my table from another project and I thought it went perfect with the peaches.  I mounted the frame with foam tape and then glued the peaches on the bottom right corner.  I added pieces of foam tape under the parts not on the frame.  There were small flowers in the stamp set but I decided to die cut some small white flowers with Spellbinders Be Bold Blooms set.  The centers were cut from white and inked with Peekaboo Peach ink.  The leaves were from a cluster in the stamp set and I cut them apart to glue under the flowers.  I really like the finished card - thanks Glenda for a fun challenge.

I hope you will check out all the fabulous food/drink cards by the team and our guests over at Seize the Birthday and join in our fun challenge.

I will also link to AAA Birthday #75 - summer birthday.
