Here is the prize

Here is my take on this fun challenge. 

 Supplies used for this card.  Gina K card stock in White and Black, Frantic Stamper dies, Cute Kitten, Stitched Rectangles and Musical score.  I die cut the score and used it as a stencil.  Sentiment is from MFT.

You should look at the Double D Challenge for more inspiration. 

My teammates really rocked this one. 

Thanks for stopping by and I love your comments. There is a mistake on my card, can you see it?

Double D Challenge - Stripes and Dots

I made a simple card for this challenge using only dies and design papers.  It was quick and easy and I look forward to seeing what you will do for this one. 

Here is the Mood board.

I got some inpsiration from the top right panel and the colors there. 

 Of course the stripes and dots were easy.  

Navy and Jelly Bean Green and White are the card stock that I used from GKD.  I die cut the Frantic Stamper Stitched Rectangle die for the front and then some squares and rectangles of the design paper from My Favorite Things 6x6 paper pack, Painted Prints Citrus.  The heart and tags are from Die-Namics dies.  Gina K stamp Art From the Heart is the sentiment on the tag and on the inside.  I could not resist stamping the pencils on the inside too.

 The Prize

 

Here is the prize that is being offered if you are the random winner of this challegnge.  Good Luck and ne sure to check out what the other teammates have done.

Thanks so much for dropping in, I do enjoy your comments and they make my day brighter.

Here is the card that I did for this challenge.  I had a bit of a time trying to come up with a card.  But in the end, I am very happy with this one.  

Here are the  supplies for this card:

Card stock Gina K white cut into a 4 1/2 X 4 1/2 squard card base. 

Dies are Elizabeth Craft Lovebirds and Frantic Stamper 
Square Tangled Frames

Sentiment is from Gina K Designs Birthday Greetings.  

I sponged some Spiced Marmalade ink on the front and then 
place the die that I colored with more distress ink in blue and green. 
I die cut the tangled frames twice and cut themapart to use on corners.  

I really like how this turned out.  Don't forget the inside, it is important too. 

We have lots of inspiration for you at Seize the Birthday. 
We also have a super creative Surprise Party Guest too.  
Her name is Kim Lackenback. 
Hope to see your fun and beautiful birthday cards with and without birds  

Thanks for stopping by, I do enjoy your comments.  Hope I have inspired you. 

Dies R Us - Arched Loop

Hello, and welcome today.  It's Barbara and I have a card for your inspiration.  I purchased this lovely border die, but decided to use it as a main focal point on this card.  Here is what I mean.

 I just cut this die twice to make a lattice background for my flowers to be displayed on.

 

 On the base of black card stock, I place a frame from the Frantic Stamper Stitched Rectangle Frame.Then I place the lattice white piece on top of that.  It gave me a nice background to place the flowers that I die cut from Penny Black, Gaiety.  The flowers are colored with copic makers and I added some black detail with my black copic pen.  I thought it need some bling, so I added a few sequins from my stash.

I am really trying to finish the inside of each card that I make, but leave the sentiment for later.  This was easy, as I just die cut another flower and colored it lighter than the ones on the front.

Here are the dies that I used for this card.  You can purchase them at the Dies R Us store.

I hope that you have been inspired and find out for yourself how easy it is to make a beautiful card that someone will love and cherish.
