JUGS - Stacking Die Cuts

Hello friends.  I have an anniversary card I made for friends using the Just Us Girls Challenge - Stacking Die Cuts.  I finished my card just in the nick of time.

I used the cute Stitched Posies dies by Lil' Inker Designs and extra leaves by Impression Obsession.  I die cut the flowers in MFT Summer Splash and Tropical Teal card and stacked them together with a small pearl in the centers.  The leaves are die cut from SU Pear Pizzazz and Wild Wasabi.  The pretty die cut frame is my new die by Poppy Stamps.  I embossed the larger panel with SU Tufted EF (love this EF) .  I die cut it and added foam tape to the outside layer and added that to a Summer Splash panel stamped with the Mesh Background stamp by MFT.  I than glued the center panel flat and stamped with Stampendous Happy Anniversary.  I also added 3 small pearls to that panel.  So, the frame panel is stacked and the flowers are stack.  I really like how the card turned out.

I am also adding this to The Flower Challenge - Anything Goes.


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

Happy Stamping,

Seize the Birthday - "Bold and Bright"

Happy Thursday my friends.  It is time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday and this time we have the "Toppings" option of  "Bold and Bright".

I used some bold colors from a Recollections CS pack and the flowers and leaves are made with Lil' Inker Designs Perky Posies dies.  The layers are separated with foam tape and I added a rhinestone to the centers.  The orange scallop mat is cut with a die from MFT Blueprints 20.   The happy birthday is cut with the MFT Free with $60 die (this month's free die).  I cut 4 white layers and then the DSP die and glued them together for dimension.   The white panel is embossed with an older Darice or Cuttlebug EF, not sure.  I added some irridescent sequins to finish my card.

Now check out all the fabulous cards by the designers over at Seize the Birthday.  I hope you will play along with us.

Thanks for stopping by.  Have a wonderful day.

Happy Birthday for JUGS #331

I was able to get a card done for this week's Just Us Girls Color Challenge #331.  The DSP is from Recollections Home Basics 6x6 pad.  The mats are MFT Tropical Teal CS.  I stamped the balloons from MFT Birthday Wishes & Balloons in MFT Tropical Teal and Blu Raspberry inks.  I fussy cut them, mounted them with foam tape, and added the highlight with my white gel pen.  The sentiment and balloon strings from the same set are stamped in SU Midnight Muse.  The white panel is cut with Lil' Inkers Side Stitched Rectangle Mats.  This panel is mounted with foam tape also.   I used my favorite Coredinations Heavy White Card for the card base.

Thanks for stopping by.  Have a wonderful day.

Cupcake for Seize the Birthday

Hello friends.  It is time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday and this time we have a "Toppings" option of using cupcakes or candy on your birthday creation.

For my card I used this cute PI Hello Cupcake image from My Favorite Things (sorry, it has been discontinued).  I colored her with Copics and fussy cut her out.  I mounted her with foam tape on a panel cut with Lil' Inkers  Stitched Mats: Rounded Rectangles.  The sentiment is from an older MFT set Birthday Balloons Jolinne (also discontinued), which I fussy cut also.  The DSP panel and paper-pieced dress are from an American Crafts 6x6 pad (no name on it).  I used SU Lost Lagoon CS for the mats.  The card base is Coredinations Heavy White Card.  I tied a piece of aqua Baker's Twine around the top and my card was done.

You should check out all the fabulous creations by my teammates over at Seize the Birthday.  We have some great ideas to inspire you.  I hope you will join us this time.  You have until Tuesday, Feb. 23rd @ 9:00 AM (PST) (12:00 noon EST) to enter our challenge.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Have a wonderful day.
Happy Stamping,

More Anniversary Cards

These are my other two anniversary cards for couples at church.  I will give them to the couples tomorrow.  They are always appreciative of the cards I make for them.

This card is made with SU Lost Lagoon CS and ink.  The hearts are from SU Always (retired).  The top heart is glued down and the bottom heart is mounted with foam tape. The white panel is embossed with an Anna Griffin EF Poppy.  I added some Recollections silver glitter paper behind the embossed panel and the sentiment panel.

For this card I used SU Real Red and Old Olive CS, and Corediations White Heavy Card.  The flowers and leaves are cut with Lil' Inker Designs Perky Posies Die Set.  I added some small pearls to the centers of the flowers. The fern is punched with a Martha Stewart Punch.  I used Spellbinders Classic Circle dies to cut the center and layered a Fancy Lattice die cut behind it.  This was adhered to a Real Red panel.  The sentiment is from Just Rite Large Fancy Sentiments.

I am entering the 2nd card in Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - die crazy.
