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!

Thankful,Grateful, Blessed

 

Good Morning all. I'm back this morning for another card I created for CAS Colours & Sketches#388-Colors. 

I love the colors the team has chosen. They fit right into the Fall season for card making. Although this is the third card I created using this SU Gather Together Bundle and to post over at CAS its one I finally felt comfortable with. The other two were ok, but they just didn't please me, so it was back to the drawing board and now I feel more confident with this design. I know it's fairly simple, but I guess it's just more ME. Besides that, I think this will be simple enough to produce Thanksgiving cards for my family and a few friends.

Products Used:

Gina K  Autumn Wreath Builder sentiment

SU card stock, Mango Melody, Cherry Cobbler, Cinnamon Cider

SU Subtle 3D folder

SU Stitched Nested Labels Dies

SU Gather Together Bundle

MFT Fabulous Foliage, A2 Stax1Stitched Rectangle Die-namics, A2 Rectangle Stax Set 2 Die-namics

I hope you have a blessed week. Stay Well and Safe.

Blessings, Bernie Bee

Have a Really Great Day

Hi all! Just posting a card that I will be linking over on the CAS ON FRIDAY blog.  The theme is NATURE for this challenge.

I decided to brush off my SU Tropical Thinlits Dies. I cut the die from SU Shaded Spruce backed with Granny Apple Green. The sentiment is from MFT's Well, Hello inked with Hero Arts Black ink. I adhered the Palm Leave die cut and the sentiment to a piece of Neenah Solar White #110 lb. that I embossed with the SU's Subtle 3D EF. which I use often. It creates a very subtle texture which I really like. That was it, easy peasy! I will be making several more of this design using different color combinations.

I'm off to create another card, hopefully before I need to start dinner. Stay safe and well...

Blessings, Bernie B

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
