Seize the Birthday Challenge #308 Add a Silhouette

Here is is, time for another challenge at Seize the Birthday. Out host is Cathy and she has asked us to Add a Silhouette to our projects. That is our topping for this challenge. 

Of course, if you are not into the topping you can just make a birthday card.

This is my card for your inspiration

Using Gina K Designs stamp called Summer Silhouette, I stamped this image in black, twice

Using Pink Fresh die called Twist Pattern I die cut just one. 

I basically followed Gina K video here.

Double D Challenge - Let's Go to the Beach!

It is time for another challenge at Double D and the theme that Darlene has picked is.....

Let's go to the Beach! 

Here are some great ideas for you. 

The prize for a winner that is drawn randomly each challenge. 

My card

For this card, I went right to my Colorado Craft stamp and dies that I have not used yet. It was perfect for this challenge. Don't you think?

It is called Beach Life and after stamping and die cutting, I colored it with my Copic markers. 

The clouds are a stencil from Colorful Life designs. 

I hope to see your entry at Double D Challenge.

Hello Crafters! I am your host for this next challenge. I picked a fancy fold for the topping. 

If you are not into toppings, you can just make it a birthday theme.

 

But remember if you use the topping, you have a chance to be a guest designer with us. 

Here is my inspiration for you. 

Supplies for this card:

Pink Fresh Folk Edge Circle

Altenew Fragrant Peony

GKD Radiant Roses greetings

Stampin Up ink Tangerine Tango

Distressed Oxide ink Rustic Wilderness

PTI design paper

I was inspired by Libby and you can find that site below. 

But remember there are tons of examples out there for fancy folds on YouTube.

Double D Challenge - Frames

Hello Crafters! This next two weeks at Double D Challenge we will be looking at frames. How ever you want to display them frames is it. 

Diane has prepared this lovely inspiration board for you. 

If you enter, you have a chance for this prize as it is a random draw. 

This is how I did my frame. 

I made a frame from white card stock with Hero Arts dies in two rectangle shapes.

 By layering two of those rectangles together

 I was able to make a thin black frame on the top. 

The flower is Honey Bee die Lovely Layers Cone Flower 

that I had already completed.

The sentiment is from Gina K Designs Delicate Flowers

I hope to see you at Double D! 

Thanks for stopping by and I always appreciate your comments!

Color Hues winner!

I was so surprised to hear that I was a winner at Color Hues! It was a good day when I had some extra time to join in the fun. Today I am here as a Guest Designer and I am thrilled to show you my example. 

These are the colors for this challenge. 

As soon as Nancy sent me these colors, I thought they 

would be perfect for a floral image. 

I just got a new set of stamps, stencil and dies from Pink Fresh

 that I used on this project. 

It is called Be Fearless! I added the 

Decorative Frames letter press and die too. 

Every single layer of that die is cut individually. 

Therefore you can add dimension on any layer. 

Notice the inside, where I used the largest layer. 

The inks that I used to get close the the Color Hues theme are:

Gina K Medium Spruce and Dark Carnation and Altenew Coral Berry.

The silver gems are from Pink Fresh. 

Thanks to the team at Color Hues for inviting me to play along!
