Youth is a Gift

Hi all. I took some time this Sunday after church to create a card that I am going to post over on CAS Colours and Sketches. This was just a quick, no fuss Birthday card that I created for an old family friend who is turning 90 on August 8th. I'm sure he will get a chuckle from the sentiment.

The paper is from SU In Good Taste DSP. I struggled with it although I knew I wanted to keep it simple and masculine and thought this paper fit well. I used SU Basic Grey and a sentiment from an old set I've had for quite some time. ( company unknown) I inked that with Night of Navy and then reinked it with VeraMark so I could emboss it using Clear Embossing Powder by Gina K.

The front panel was cut with MFT Stitched Rectangle Die-namics, embossed with SU Subtle 3D folder, and the circles cut with SU Stitched Shapes.

That's about it for today. I'm hoping on getting a chance to put together some cards for friends or a least get them prepped. I pray for you have a blessed rest of the day and week. Stay safe and well.

Blessings,

Bernie B

Prayers During This Difficult Time

Just here to post a card that I finished this afternoon for The Flower Challenge. I believe I will be just under the wire! I've been struggling the past couple of days with lost MOJO. Ugh, I hate it when I go through these times. Do you?

I made this simple by not coloring the flowers, but I like the way it came together with the black and white and pop of color. I used an older SU patterned paper and paired it with one of the new colors, Magenta Madness. The flower stamp is MFT,s Fine-Lined Floral and Sending Prayers with the matching die. I heat embossed the sentiment with Gina K's Black Fine Detailed embossing powder and layered the prayer cut out.  I also used the MFT Stitched Rectangle Die-namics.

That's about it. I have a very messy craft area to clean up and think about supper. I hope you have a blessed and safe weekend.

Blessings,

Bernie B

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!
