One Birthday Card, 3 challenges

Today I am posting a Birthday card to 3 challenges. I think this might be the first time I have done this and actually fit the challenge time limits!

First the challenges:

Sentiment from SU Really Good Greetings stamp set

At first, I wasn't sure how I would incorporate the colors presented by the colourQ crew, but I found this polka dot paper in my stash, and I feel it fits. What do you think?

I did use my Expression machine and the Celebrate cartridge to cut the party hat.  I have been using the machine more lately and need a little refresher course on how to get cleaner cuts.  I do think some new mats are in order though to obtain that goal.

Have a wonderful weekend and why not stop by the challenge blogs and do something CRAFTY!

Hugs,

To a Great Friend/ Mojo #383

Just a quick card tonight using the MOJO383 sketch. I wasn't intending on  creating a card or posting tonight, but I was looking through some old papers I had. I came across this cute background paper. Gosh, I'm not even sure how old it is or who produced it, but I knew wanted to use it with this sketch. So off I went to my studio.( By the way, if any of you know the name of the manufacturer, please let me know.) 

I did combine it with some older Bazzill papers and some SU papers and inks. (Melon Mambo/Perfect Polka Dots EF/Lucky Limeade ink/Primrose Petal ink)

I had just recently received the FREE new Sale-A-Bration stamp Simply Wonderful and love the way this worked on the card. I can see me keeping this around for a long while. 

 

 

Well thats about it for tonight. 

Go have yourself a CRAFTY evening!

Hugs,

Thinking of You/FMS 171

I'm just making this Freshly Made Sketches challenge under the wire! I did have it finished up last night, but decided to wait until this morning. Wrong decision. :0(

I needed a manly Thinking of You card and this sketch was perfect. I love the images in the set By the Tide,and decided to use it for a masculine feel. There is a card in the SU 2014-2015 catalog ( pg 130) that I CASEd my focal image from, although I did use the new stamp, Crazy about You and Gorgeous Grunge on my card.


Other stuff you might want to know:
The color combination: Marina Mist, Crushed Curry: Ink and Paper,Pear Pizzazz: Ink and Paper.I also used one of my favorite SU papers for a more rustic look, Naturals White. The banners were embossed with the SU Decorative Dots EF.

I hope you have and wonderful and CRAFTY day!

Hugs,
BernieBee

Doer of Good Deeds Thank You

I hope you have a great Friday and can do something CRAFTY!

Thank You #2

I have another Thank You card today using the 

Lots of Thanks stamp set by SU.

 I am linking this to two challenges. 

The Paper Players # 229 and Colour Q #277

Feather duster speck on the table not a ink smear. UGH!

 

 

 All the products used on this card are by SU except the flower center embellishments. 
The flower is from the new SU stamp, Crazy About You.

That's about it for this afternoon. Have a great evening and I hope you can be CRAFTY!

Thank You So Much/MOJO 382

I'm just trying to stay ahead for my need of thank you cards and  decided to utilize the SU Lots of Thanks stamp set. I will be putting up 3 or 4 more cards using this set in the  next several days. So stay tuned!

This card is being linked to the MOJO Monday challenge, but I decided against the tall and skinny orientation.  I'm just not a big fan of that size card.

All the products used on this card are Stampin' Up! except the buttons and the dotted folder.

Maybe I'll start my weekend today!

When I posted on my blog yesterday, I mentioned that I would post the card I had made. Unfortunately, that did not happen.

I didn't have the photo uploaded, nor the blog description written . The biggest problem was that I was admitted to the emergency room and was there from 9:30am to 5:45pm yesterday! Yes, I know, I was there on January 2nd. also. This time for a different incident. I'm thankful it was not a heart problem, but there is still no diagnosis. I'll be going to my primary care doctor on Tuesday and hope to see what needs to be done.

So without further ado, here is my card. It's pretty simple and I used both SU products and my Cricut  to complete it.

MOJO Monday 381 Sketch

 The Sun was cut using my Expression amchine and the Doodlecharms Cartridge cut 3x's at 3". I layered and glued them together with Tombow Mono glue and popped them up with SU Stampin Dimensionals. 

SU Products Used
