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
Inside

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!
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteLove that cute cardinal and how you placed him in the greenery. The streamers are a nice touch. Love how you embossed that lovely Punch and Pierce plate - I will have to try that. Great card.
ReplyDeleteI love Red Birds but this guy? Excellent with his chubby body :) - fabulous card
ReplyDeleteFab card, Barbara! I love the cute bird and the streamers.
ReplyDeleteBarb, your sweet cardinal is so pretty on your white background, the greenery and your red streamers. So pretty. Happy New Year.
