Seize the Birthday - Happy Birthday to You



I was just catching up finishing up some cards and clearing my craft area today and saw that I had not linked this card to Seize the Birthday #167


I will be headed out of town on vacation and won't be making cards for at least 10 days or more. SAD FACE.  Since the challenge is over tomorrow, I had to put it up ASAP.

PARTICULARS:

SU Garden Lane DSP, Neenah Solar White 80#, SU Pear Pizzazz
Altenew Build-A-Flower: Gardenia stamp set with matching dies, GinaK sentiment
WOW! Metallic Gold Rich Embossing Powder, SU Mint Macaroon Ink, Altenew Green Feilds Cubes


Subtle Dynamic Textured Impressions EF used on the white square

Have a wonderful evening and I'll be back in a week or so. I'll be looking forward to seeing what y'all are posting.

Blessings,

Hi All. Just posting a card this afternoon that I will link over at Mojo Monday

Masculine Happy Birthday Cards


Today is "Oldie but Goodie Day" for me. The stamps set I'm using by SU is probably one that was from 2013-14 release. I was looking through the 2019-2020 catalog and the new stamp set bundle, "Sailing Home" caught my attention. It is definitely on my WISH list!

Since I needed a few masculine cards ASP, I dug out the "Open Sea" stamps and created these 2 cards using several of the images in the set. I have always liked this set but haven't stamped it up in a very long time. I went through some older papers that I have hoarded, looked on Pinterest for inspiration and set about creating these two cards.

These will be linked over at Seize the Birthday

PARTICULARS:
SU Open Seas (ret.) stamp set, MFT LJD Birthday Greetings

Have a wonderful and Blessed Sunday. AND go do something you LOVE.

Tweeting You a Sweet Hello


Here is another card I finished up yesterday. I have had this set by MFT, Cute Critters for over a month and have played with it some.  I created this card for my new grandson with some of the images that are included in the set.


I had been wanting to use the sweet little bird and the birdhouse from the same set, so I set about creating a card using them. I really like the way it came together. I hope who I am sending it to will enjoy it as much as I did making it.



PARTICULARS

Neenah Solar White 100# paper, SU Gingham Gala DSP, SU Grapefruit Grove, SU Shaded Spruce for the leaves, SU Soft Suede
Prismacolor Pencils
GinaK Amalgam Black Ink
MFT Cute Critters
MFT Stitched Rectangles, SU Stitched Shapes Framelits
Subtles Dynamics EF

Have a great weekend and please go do something you LOVE!

Happy Birthday to You


Today I'm posting this card that I made my GD for her 4th. birthday. This sweet stamp is from MFT Pure Innocence line. This is the 3rd. stamp from this line and just let me say, I'm in love!

Linked to Seize the Birthday Challenge

The challenge is always birthdays but it also includes a "TOPPINGS" option that you may or may not use. Since this was the stamp I planned to use for my GD'S birthday it filled both. Love when that happens.

PARTICULARS:
Neenah Solar White 110# paper, SU Gingham Gala DSP, SU Lemon Lime Twist CS
MFT Happy Birthday to You stamp with the sentiment from the same set (PI)
SU Subtle Dynamics Embossing Folder
Wink of Stella on the stamped bow through the middle of the box
Prismacolor Pencils
Black Fine Embossing Powder by Gina K (used on the sentiment)
SU Happiness Blooms Enamel Dots

That is it for this post. I have another card to post for the challenge and will include it shortly. Have a blessed and great weekend, AND go do something you LOVE!

Blessings, 
Bernie B
