Happy Birthday to You/ RS#199

Hello everyone.  Today I'm posting another Birthday card that I made for one of my daughters who has a birthday in February.  There's nothing like getting a card made almost a month in advance!

I played along with the Retro Sketch challenge using one of my FREE Sale-A-Bration stamps, Perfect Pairings along with the SU stamp set and matching punch, Sprinkle of Life / Tree Builder Punch.  I really love the Sprinkles of Life set and don't know why I haven't used more.  I hope to remedy that during the next several months.

That's about it for me today.  I have several more cards to do before the week is out and hopefully, will post one by Saturday. Stay CRAFTY my friends!

Crafty Hugs,

*SU colors used: Blushing Bride CS, Mint Macaroon, Whisper White,Crumb Cake, Primsode Petal Ink, Baked Brown Sugar Ink

Wishing You/Merry Monday#182/CTS#151

Happy Saturday!  Today I am posting  another Christmas card for 2 challenges. I was not going to make anymore cards for Christmas, but I keep thinking of people I wanted to send a handmade cards to! How about you are you finished making those special holiday cards?

I am posting this card on CAS(E) this Sketch and Merry Monday. 

To fulfill the challenge to use some kind of bird, I used the Tree Builder punch for the birds. Love those little guys!  I used  the tree punch which coordinates with the Festival of Trees that  was stamped on Old Olive card stock.  Smokey Slate was used for the circle and the sentiment is from Christmas Messages stamped in Cherry Cobbler.    **SU Large Polka Dot EF, Merry Moments DSP**

That's about it for today.  I hope you make it a great Saturday and are able to do something CRAFTY!

Crafty Hugs,

Bright Birthday / MOJO402

Just a quick post today playing along with the MOJOMonday #402 sketch. I started working on this card last night, but it just wasn't going together as I wanted. I shut off the light in the Studio, took the dog potty and went to bed.

When I woke up this morning and went to finish it, WALLA, I was able to put it together!  There are still some things I would have done differently, but on the whole, I'm satisfied with it. I plan on using it for my granddaughter who will be 8 soon. The colors are still a little out of my comfort zone, but I know she'll like them.

I used SU's Cherry on Top DSP paper stack again, coordinating the colors with SU cardstock. This was my first go around using the Sprinkles of Life stamp set with the Tree Builder Punch which coordinates perfectly. I've seen such cute cards on Pinterest using this punch and stamp.  I probably will not run out of cards to CASE.

Have a great day. I'm waiting for my hubby to come home from Baltimore this afternoon.  He's been gone 3 days, and I have surely missed him. I'm also getting ready for our Home Group get together tonight here at our home. Started my sauce, made my meatballs, next will be putting together the stuffed shells.  I always look forward to our time together. They are such fun people to be around.

Have a wonderful and blessed day AND go do something CRAFTY!

Hugs,
Bernie Bee
