Bring on the Balloons

Today's card is one I created for 2 challenges. Cupcake Inspiration #524 and Freshly Made Sketches 496. Since I do have a granddaughter who is turning 8 in October, and I'm planning on using the card I just created.  Between the FM Sketch and the Cupcake Inspiration, I found that it went together fairly quickly, but that will be it for today. This afternoon I'm planning to look over several blog challenges and to get some more inspiration and a head start on the week ahead.

Announcement: I am pleased that my card for CAS C&S Color Challenge #429 was chosen as a weekly winner! Thank you Design Team. Why not stop by their Blog and see the other wonderful cards that were chosen.

MFT Safari Party for Bear and Sentiment

Bring on the Balloons

Hi All! Just a quick post on this rainy day here in NC. I was in need of some stamp and paper therapy yesterday, although we did have some sun peeking out behind the clouds. 

I was playing around with this MFT's Die-Namics Birthday Balloons deciding on some images or dies to be used on birthday cards that I needed to add to my birthday stash. I haven't used this die very much and thought I would put it in my birthday stash bin and link it over at CAS Colour and Sketches.

This card was pretty straightforward. The die did not come with a stamp, so I just chose some SU solid color paper to cut out the balloons and the strings, added some white gel pen to the left side for shadow, and glued them to my white panel which I embossed with the SU Subtle 3D EF.  The sentiment is from MFT's Safari Party stamped with black ink on Just Jade and cut with MFT's Stitched Sentiment Strips. I cut the white background using MFT A2 Stitched Rectangle Die-namics STAX 1 and embossed it with SU's Subtle 3D EF. 

PAPER USED:

SU Calypso Coral for the card base

Neenah Solar White #110

SU Bumblebee, Just Jade, and Calypso Coral for the balloons

I hope you have a great Sunday and coming week.

Stay Safe and Stay Well!

It's Always a Party

 

Hello all. Just posting a birthday card today that I am sharing over at  CAS on Friday

I just finished a wonderful visit with one of my daughters and her 3 children just before I posted. It's been such a blessing to be able to see them all a little more. So, that's about it for today. 

Stay Well and Stay Safe!

Blessings,

Birthday Boy

I made this fairly simple card for my little grandson Asher whose birthday is tomorrow. I will be hand delivering it so we can Social Distance with his Mom, Dad, and his siblings. It's always hard to do this when I just want to pick him and his siblings up and give them plenty of kisses. Hopefully, we will soon be able to do that.

This card will be posted over on "Seize the Birthday" Blog

I chose SU Pool Party, Neenah Solar White #110, and SU Daffodil Delight for the sentiment strip. MFT Bitty Birthday Wishes. The Bear and Balloons were colored with my Prismacolor pencils. The remainder of the products I used will be in the Labels section on the right of the post. I just find that more convenient for me.

Have a blessed weekend and STAY WELL and SAFE!

Blessings, Bernie B

Let's Shell-ebrate Birthday Card

Hi all. I'm here with a children's birthday card that I finished up today to link over at Freshly Made Sketches #405 and Seize the Birthday which had the Toppings as a Geometric Shape. This will be added to my stash of childrens birthday cards.

The products I used were the stamp from MFT Safari Party, the sentiment is from Totally Turtle by Craftin Desert Divas and stamped with GinaK ink. I used the SU card stock, Flirty Flamingo and the patterned paper from Dinoroar. I cut the different squares with my Cricut Explore and used a sentiment strip by MFT. 

I decided to double the squares to give them dimension and also added dimensional squares on the back of the turtles. The turtles were colored with my Prismacolor Pencils using two shades of green, Old Olive and Limepeel.

That's it for tonight. I'm off to finish up supper. Have a wonderful evening and I hope you get to do something you LOVE!

Blessings,

Bernie

Let's Celebrate You

This card will be linked to Seize the Birthday #163

Back again today with the card I finished up for my grandsons birthday yesterday. I had used this stamp set by MFT, Safari Party, for another one of my grandsons in March. I did use the Bear and the elephant on that card but added the sweet turtle, the alligator, and added the #2 which I did on my first card.

The sentiment is from the same set except the inside sentiment is from MFT's All Occasions Sentiment. The papers are from SU, except the card base which is Neenah Classic White#110. The #2 was cut on my Cricut and layered 4 x's, the squares were cut with SU Stitched Shapes Framelits and backed with white craft foam. I colored the images with my Prismacolor Pencils and blended them with Gamsol.

I received my inspiration from Melania Deasy. Thank you Melania! I chose to make this a 5x7 card and add the dots background.

Side view and inside

This was the card I made using the same set in March.

That's it for today. I'm off to work on some Thank You cards and a New Home Card. I hope you make this a great day and do something you LOVE!

Blessings,

Happy Second Birthday

Good afternoon all! Just dropping by today to post a card I just made for one of my grandsons who is turning 2 on St. Patrick's Day. The lime green paper nods to that.

I created this card and linking it to the new Seize the Birthday Challenge, although I do not have stripes incorporated in the design for the Toppings challenge, I have incorporated the dots. I realized this morning that I had not linked this card. Oops!

The animals, and the sentiment are from MFT's Safari Party stamp set with matching die-namics, the stitched rectangle is from a MFT set, the #2 from the Days and Dates Cartridge by Cricut cut on my Explore Air, the paper is SU. I also used my white Signo pen to add dots to the #2. The animals were colored with my Prismacolored pencils and blended with Gamsol.

I hope you have a wondeful and blessed day, AND as always, go do something you LOVE!
