Celebrate the Season

Hello and Happy first day of March! Our weather here in Central NC is calling for some very nice temperatures this week (70's)which causes me to do the Happy Dance.

Today I took down the rest of my Christmas. I left very little out and was just waiting for today to decorate with my Spring decor inside and out. I'll be changing some of that up again in June for Summer decorations.

I was able to get upstairs to my crafting area to create a card for Addicted to CAS-Snowflakes, and CAS C&S#459. 

I really needed to use some snowflake dies I was given by a friend many months ago and had not used. The color combination for CASC&S 459 just sparked an aha moment when I saw it. I love this color combo.

Products Used: SU Fresh Freesia, Soft Seafoam, Flirty Flamingo, SU Itty Bitty Christmas,

SU Snowfall EF, Unknown Snowflake dies, MFT Stitched Sentiments Die-namics( I cut the edge with the stitching to fit the space) and raised the sentiment with foam, and finished the snowflakes off with SU jewels. It really was a fairly quick card that I will use for future projects this coming Christmas holiday.

As always, thanks for stopping by and I would love to hear what you think of this finished card.

Blessings, Bernie B

On a closing note, I was chosen by Addicted to Case as one of the Top 3 for challenge #212 Triangles. Thank you Design Team for choosing my card.

Happy Birthday

I am posting a card on my blog this afternoon which I will be linking over for the Freshly Made Sketches challenge of the week. I recently had gotten my SU order which included the Free 12/12 DSP, Daffodil Afternoon. I paired it with SU Melon Mambo and Daffodil Delight CS. The flower die is from MFT Sensational Stitched Die-namics and the sentiment Happy Hummingbirds by MFT.

That will be it for this post today. I have several more cards that I want to work on. I hope you have a  blessed and CRAFTY weekend! Bernie B💙
