Seize the Birthday Challenge #257 - Card for a Child


I know that we make birthday cards. All kids of them and I for one make mostly female cards. I bet you do too. Every once in a while I need a masculine card and even rare times, I need a card for a child. This is where you can excel and make a card, I am sure there is one out there in your family or friends family that you can make one for. 





If you are not into toppings, just make sure that it is a Birthday card. 
My card was designed for my daughter-in-law's new nephew. He will be one in July and he is so adorable. He goes by NJ. 



My card
Supplies:  My Favorite Things Joyful Heart Bears and matching dies.
                 Simon Says Balloon Bouquet die. 

Ok, so I made two cards. Once I got going, I could not stop.

Penny Black Saturday Challenge


I made this card for the Peny Black Saturday Challenge Anything goes optional flowers and hearts. But that challenge has ended. Fortunately, the challenge for March is still anything goes. I have decided to enter my card anyway. 


I sat down and relaxed with a water coloring of this image from Penny Black called Loads of Lots. I have had it for a long time and use it often. Isn't that hedgehog so darn cute with a load of hearts? 
After water coloring the image I cut it out and also used Gina K Designs master layouts 1 to frame it. 
The sentiment is also from the same stamp. 
I am entering this card in the Penny Black Saturday Challenge  anything goes

Color Hues Guest - Green and Gold

I am tickled pink to be a guest designer for Color Hues! Their challenges are the ones that inspire me the most. Since my card was picked, I get to be a guest designer for them on this challenge. 

Come and play along with the rest of the team and me. The colors are Green and Gold. I must admit that the very first thing that I thought of was Packer Colors, ( I live in Wisconsin) but unfortunately I don't have stamps for that. Thank goodness. There are so many other things to make for this color combination. 

Here is the card that I made. 
       Supplies are: Gina K Winter Foliage card kit the poinsettia stencil
                     Spellbinders Gilded Nested Rectangle Glimmer Set in Gold Foil.
                     Honey Bee Buzz Words for the sentiment
                      Gina K Thankful Greenery for the sentiment inside. 
A better view to see the gold hot foil and sentiment. So hard to photograph. 
The inside has a story too. My first hot foil didn't work right, but I cut it out and used it on the inside. I will add my own message when I send the card. Never throw out anything, is my motto.

Double D Challenge - Everything coming up Green

Diane is the host for this Challenge. Lots of inspiration here. 
I was inspired by the upper right corner with the light green flowers and I wanted to use that enchanting vine embossing folder.
