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

Happy Birthday to You

 

Hello everyone. I created this card today after several days of playing with what stamps to use and the color combo. Finally today it will be posted over on the CAS Colours and Sketches Challenge and Seize the Birthday. I also plan to apply for being on the CAS Colours and Sketches Design Team starting with this card's challenge colours and next week's sketch. I'll keep you posted.

The colours for the challenge proved a little thinking through on my part. The two different blues would not necessarily be a color combo I would normally choose, but it is a challenge blog so I forged ahead and went out of my comfort zone to design a card using them.

Products Used

Misty Moonlight, Crumb Cake, and Night of Navy by SU

Sentiment: MFT PI Happy Birthday to You, MFT Birthday Cake Die-namic, MFT Stitched Mini Scallop Die-namic

That's it for today. I'm creating a friendship card using leftover pieces from the card above. We will see how that goes.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Stay well and safe.

Hooray! It's Your Day

Today's post is a birthday card that I made for my Grandaughter, Annabelle's 5th birthday today. I used one of the greetings from the MFT Stamp "LJD Birthday Greetings". I'm happy the way it came together. I had several different layouts and several different color combinations, but this one won out. I hand-delivered it today under the Social Distancing directives. It was nice to be able to see her, her Mom, and 2 brothers even though we couldn't hug each other.😢

The solid paper is SU Highland Heather and the check paper which is retired matched, Highland Heather. The 5 was cut on my Cricut Explore Air using a pale green glitter paper that I have had for quite a while. The base of the card is Neenah Solar White#110 lb.

This card will be posted over at the Seize the Birthday Challenge

The inside I finished off with a sentiment from the MFT Stamp, "Big Birthday Sentiments". The first thing Annabelle noticed was that there 5 candles. It put a smile on her face and mine!

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
