STB #299 - Add A Heart

Joann is in the Valentine spirit with her challenge for this next two weeks. She just wants us to add a heart to our cards. Easy enough and there are so many ways to do this. 

I was thinking Pink and blue and green for my card. Once again, I used many company's

 to accomplish this. 

Supplies:

Pink Fresh Stencil Geometric Tile

Inks are GKD Sea Glass, Apple Mint, Bubble Gum

Fancy Edges 

MFT dynamics Stitched Hearts

The Greetery Botani Cuts palm die and Fit to be Tied. 

If you are not into toppings, just make sure that it is a birthday theme. We love to see those too. 

Also, you should go over to the blog for more inspiration from the team. They have great ideas. 

That include the Surprise Party Guest Amanda Mertz and our past winners who are design guest as well.

If you enter, you have a chance to be picked as a guest too.

SYB #281 Any Color plus Green

Time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday!

Nancy, our leader is the hostess for this challenge. 

She is asking us to pick a color, any color and add green.

Of course, neutral colors are allowed. 

If you are not into toppings, just make it a Birthday card! 

But if you use our topping, you may have a chance to be a quest designer. 

Here is my card for this challenge. As I needed a masculine birthday card, I went with this theme. 

I knew that I would choose blue to go along with the green for this challenge. I had already made a panel from Gina K Thick Brush stencil and used the poly-glaze foiling sheet too. That was my background panel. 

The die in the front is Spellbinder small die of the month, Gift Border

I die cut that from black shiny packaging. 

The bows are foil paper in green and gold.'

using master layouts from Gina K, I framed the card and popped out the gifts. 

Happy Day is from the same Spellbinder die. 

The team has more inspiration for you Here. 

Our Surprise Party Guest for the next two months is  Jolanda Johnston

 Melanie Hungerford is also with us as she was the winner from the last challenge.

We are expecting visitors next week and there will be no crafting for awhile. That brought me to the bin of new craft products that I bought over the Holiday season and have not used as yet. Why not make a card for the next Color Hues challenge? So here goes using the new stuff that I bought. 

Here are the colors 

I pulled out my Gina K Precious Poinsettia stamp and die set. 

I stamped the colors of Jelly Bean Green and Turquoise Sea from  Gina K. 

I thought they were a pretty good match. 

Then I die cut the image out with the matching die as I wanted to use another new product.  I dry embossed the new Spellbinders 3D folder called Flurry of Snowflakes. I think it can be more than just a Christmas embossing folder. 

I had a hot foil that I did and used on a recent card, but saved the leftover piece. It was PinkFresh Geo leaf design and I cut out three of them and scattered them on my card front. 

Don't throw anything away!

Still more use from the hot foiled piece that was done in gold and turquoise.
