STB #264 Number crunching, use a number

Cathy is the team host for this next Challege, and she wants us to use numbers. 

I went to Pinterest for some inspiration and made this card. 

After sponging some Distressed inks on a piece of card stock I used some dies to cut out the numbers. It was pretty easy if you just remember to cut two of each number and to be sure that they are in different colors. Then just place the number die back in, making sure they contrast. I may redo this card in more masculine colors for those needed male birthday cards. My happy colors are Peeled Paint, Worren Lipstick, and Stuttered Straw.  The die cut sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp and I used gems from my stash.

STB #263 Put your sentiment on a banner

Hello Crafters and Birthday Card Makers!

It's Barb and I am your design team host for this next challenge. 

I think it would be fun to put your sentiment on a banner. 

If you are not into toppings, you can just make sure that it is a Birthday Card. 

Here is the card that I made. 

Supplies for this card are: Altenew Build a Flower Columbine Stamp and die

Background Die is an Amazon Cover Plate

Banner and sentiment are Paper Trey Ink Sweet Celebrations (an old one)

I hope that you have fun with this one and the topping is easy this time. Remember you have a chance to join our team if you use the toppings and your card is selected.

House Mouse Challenge - Anything Goes

House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge

Anything goes 

I made this card for the House Mouse Challenge. Unfortunately, all of my House Mouse Stamps are in  Florida and I only had two here in Wisconsin. But I was able to work with them and I made this card for the challenge. They were so cute and I decided to make them on Spring leaves instead of fall. 

Supplies that I used are Gina K card stock in Warm Cocoa, Altenew 3D Embossing folder Enchanting Vines, Penny Black wildwood dies, House Mouse stamps, Fall Float and Fall Flight. The Sentiment is a die from Simon Says You're Amazing. 

I hope to see you there.

DD challenge - Lemons or Yellow as a focus

Diane has prepared this inspiration board for us this next challenge and I love it! So many ideas here, but I went right to the lemons. You see, I had a new die that was an orange slice, but could easily be made to look like a lemon slice. See what you think.

                                                      

Here is the card that I did for this challenge

Using some paper from my stash for a background, I die cut The Greetery die called dried citrus slices, Big Branches ruscus leaves, and crimped frame. I had that panel in my bits box and it is also The Greetery, Macrame Open work. The base is GKD Grass Green card stock and the took some liberties with the sentiment. It is from Cas-ual Friday stamp called Mon Ami. It read You're the Best and I changed it to ZEST. Get it? 

Inside, I used the other half of the lemon slice. 

The Prize for a random winner.
