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!

Cricut Rainbow Birthday Card Annabelle

Annabelle and I 

Last Saturday my granddaughter Annabelle celebrated her 3rd. birthday with a Troll inspired party. Her mama decorated one of the walls in her family room with balloons representing a rainbow. I created the card above using my Cricut Explore using an image from Create a Critter and some SU products.

Make it a great day!

So Sorry

I'm back today with a card for the Freshly Made Sketch challenge.  I made this for a young niece of ours who has been battling some blood clots. She's been a real trooper, but I thought I would continue to encourage her and let her know we are praying for her.

**I'm not sure why the layered panel came out wonky under the sentiment. When I was cutting it, it appeared fine. Oh well, I'm going with it. Although I have been back to card making for more then a month, I'm finding it a struggle to produce cards easily. I'm not sure if it is the long hiatus I took, the lack of up to date product, or I just am not as creative as I once felt I was.

I will give it another couple of months and evaluate my progress and see if I have to move to another creative outlet. Anyone else go through these periods of creativity?


Products used: Paper by Scribble Scrabble, SU Baked Brown Sugar and Mint Macaron ink , SU Baked Brown Sugar paper, SU Thoughts and Prayers, So Sorry, Copper Dots.

Have a wonderful and relaxing weekend, enjoy your family and go do something you love!

Live Simply,
