Happy Birthday to You

 I'm back today with a card that I will post over at CAS Colours & Sketches and Seize the Birthday although I decided not to use the topping. I had gotten into a little bit of a slump again. My decision to put together some Thinking of You friend cards to direct possibly my creativity. Thankfully it did and I was able to get 10 designed, card bases cut and folded, and patterned paper cut to size. I still need to get them completely together, but it felt so good to have that much accomplished.

Probably not something I should post, is I had a real struggle with this color combo and the image I chose for the card. Several other designs and stamps have gone through my head since I completed this, but right now it is what it is. I really have been making an effort to use all the butterflies in this stamp set and the hummingbird set. It seems to me, and perhaps you observe the same thing about you stamping supplies as I do. I love the sets use it once or twice and then it sits lonely on the shelf for perhaps months. 

This will do it for today, but I'll list some of the supplies over in the Labels section.

Have a great day and stay well! 

Blessings,

Bernadette

God is Our Refuge

Hi All!  I'm here today posting two cards that I created to link over on Mojo Monday  Julee created a nice sketch for us to jump-start our creativity. I did not follow the sketch exactly. The circle on Julee's sketch covered the strip towards the bottom of the card, mine does not. By the way, a mistake of my part, but I left them the way they were so I would not have to start the card all over again. :))

The scripture verse I used on both cards is by Julee when she had her store. Sorry, I don't have the name of the set I took this from. My thought on using this particular scripture was to remind us that God is our Refuge not only during these difficult times we are going through as a Nation but our own personal trails we go through. I'll be making more cards with Scripture encouraging verses in the future.

I decide today that on the part I will list the products used as I had done previously. It just seems simpler.  I hope that works for all of you. 

PRODUCTS USED:

SU Flowers for Every Season

SU Bumblebee, Just Jade, Misty Moonlight, Cinnamon Cider Card Stock (2022 In Colors)

Neenah Solar White#110 for Circles

MFT Stitched Flowers Die-namics

SU Stitched Shapes(Lg. Circle)

SU Ink Misty Moonlight, Just Jade

I'm all finished for today on these cards. I am considering entering some other challenges, but I need to decide which one and get my supplies together. Have a wonderful Wednesday and stay safe and well.

Blessings, Bernie Bee

Hello Friend

Good afternoon! Just popping in on my blog today to post a card I made for the CAS Color and Sketched Challenge.

I was looking through some of my older papers and came across a retired SU paper. I love gingham checks this was chosen immediately and it matched the blue of the solid piece that I used the

I love the colors and simplicity of this sketch. It will be one I'll be using again. The papers are SU except for the base which is Neenah Solar White110#. Stitched Basic Edge Dies, Stitched Rectangle Die-namics, and Stitched Flowers all by MFT.  The sentiment is from an older Gina K stamp set. I'll be sending this along to a dear friend in Tennessee tomorrow.

That's about it. I will be creating a Birthday card and Graduation card later today, but off of here to have some lunch.

Blessings,

Bernie B
