Seize the Birthday - Anything Goes!

Welcome to another great challenge here at Seize the Birthday!

    Our "Toppings" option this time is...

Just remember to keep it a birthday card. 

Surprise Party Guest

Her name is Lin and HERE is her blog Lin's Craft Corner.

Here is the card I made for your inspiration. 

On a base of watercolor paper, I placed a die cut from Penny Black called Antique Frames.  Ove the top of that, I stenciled a Quilted design from Kaiser Craft. Using the stamp and die from Gina K Designs, I watercolored the flowers and placed them on the front. I was channeling my best Karen Hightower who designs for Gina K and placed a black gingham bow there.  If you know Karen, she does amazing cards with these great bows. Lastly,  I place some Neuvo drops on the front.

I will be so excited to see what you will be doing for this challenge.  Be sure to check out the other designers on this amazing team at Seize the Birthday.

Double D Challenge - Rose Garden

Team Diane has an inspirational mood board is perfect for June.  Flowers will be in bloom and Roses are my favorite ones.  Well, next to a poppy that is.  I was inspired by the top left photo with the street light.  Mainly because I have a die.  But I decided to use it just a little bit differently.

This is the die cut that is the prize for this challenge and you could be a winner if you just enter.  

It is a random draw, anyone can win. 

Here is my inspiration for this challenge. 

For this card, I used a number of dies and stamps. On the bottom, you see Power Poppy's Everything's Even Rosier stamp.  It is colored with copics and colored pencil and used as a border. The background is an EF from Sizzix called brick.  I used some white ink in spots.  The window die is from Art Impressions.  Street light is My Favorite Things. 

This team of fabulous designers has more inspiration for you if you stop over to look HERE.

Once again, I sure do appreciate that you take time to make a comment I enjoy this all and I hope that I have inspired you to join us in the challenge. 

                                                              

Creative Confetti - Sketch it Out!

The new challenge for Creative Confetti is using a sketch.  This week has been so busy, I almost missed it.  Here is the sketch that we are to use. 

Here is the card that I did.  

Oops looks like my border is coming loose!  I will fix that later.  Now I just have time to finish this post.  I colored this while watching a movie last night.  So I thought that I would turn it into a card.
I used GKD new Skeleton Leaves for the base and a designer paper from Graphic 45.  The digital stamp is Countryside Bouquet, one of my favorites. I cut just part of the border from Spellbinder Romantic Rectangles.
I am entering this over at Creative Confetti at Power Poppy 
Well looks like I an just a bit too late to enter as the challenge has ended.  

Thanks for stopping by and I sure appreciate your comments.  Enjoy! Have a great weekend.

Seize the Birthday - Presents

It is time for another challenge this month at Seize the Birthday.  I love making Birthday cards as I always have plenty on hand to send out to family and friends.

That is what the toppings are for this challenge. 

"PRESENTS"

If you're not a toppings kinda person, well.....you can juststick with our usual "Anything Goes"Birthday!

Just remember to keep it a Birthday Theme!

We have a new Surprise Party Quest for the next two months.  

Please welcome her.
Her name is Lin and HERE is her blog Lin's Craft Corner.

Here is my card. 

I started with a die cut that I received from a friend.  I placed that on a background made with alcohol inks.  I did a bunch of them one day when I was pretending to be Jennifer McGuire. Lol  This background had blue, pink and yellow inks and I kept that as my pallet.  Using the stamp from Power Poppy called Party Time, I stamped the sentiment in StazOn Ink and let it try.  Next, I colored the stack of presents and fussy cut them out. The panel on the right was great for shaker elements and I put a single candle on the bottom left.  

Don't forget to see what the rest of the team has for your inspiration.

Thanks for stopping in, I enjoy your comments.

  

Creative Confetti - Big and Bold

This week the challenge is to go big and bold.  I chose to do this with colors and design. 

Here is the card I did. 

Hard to see the gold that I foiled on the Perfect Poppies digital stamp. If you print on a laser printer,  you can put foil on it and run it through your laminator and it will add foil.  Next, I printed the image again, but this time, I colored the poppies with my Copic markers and fussy cut them out.  Then added them with some foam tape to the foiled image. I wish that you could see the gold.  I tried to do a video, but could not get it embedded in my blog.

I think that you get the idea! 

I am entering this card in the Power Poppy Creative Confetti for this week.

Thanks for stopping by and if you know how to embed a video, I would appreciate the information.
