STB #297 Use Something New


I hope that you all have a great Holiday Season. You may have done some crafting or took some time off. But now, its time for a new challenge here at Seize the Birthday. Let's get back to making those birthday cards that we all need. 

Our first challenge of 2025 is, Use Something New and Cathy of our hostess. I bet that you all have something new that was purchased, or it could have been around for awhile but have not used yet. Let's get going 
 
Here is the card that I made with some new dies. 



Inside


The supplies for this card are:
Spellbinder Infinity Punch and Pierce plate
Spellbinders Tweet Cardinal from Celebrate the Seasons 
The Greetery Curly Q Streamers, and the leaves are from Warm and Wonderful 
Distressed Oxide Ink Rustic Wilderness

If you don't want to use the toppings, just make it a birthday theme. 

Amanda Mertz is our Surprise Party Guest for the next two months.

  1. Wow, I love how you used the Punch and Pierce plate without punching! It looks really pretty! I love the Cardinal, too, as I recently purchased it and have a card made but not posted yet. You've made a gorgeous winter birthday card with it sitting in the foliage, the streamers streaming down. So beautiful!

  2. I think the curly q streamers were a nice touch. I don't have many bird dies, but really love this cardinal. You have a very pretty Birthday card here, Barb!
