Congratulations!

I created this card several weeks ago for a friend who just moved. I'm so happy that I had the house from You Brighten My Day with the matching punch for this card also. I did use the  SU Subtle Dynamic Textured Embossing folder on the gray panel and just embossed the house which was cut from SU Balmy Blue CS. The congratulations are from a very old SU stamp set with matching framelit but it is layered on an MFT Stitched Sentiments Strips Die-Namics.

On the house gift set, I used Gingham Gala panels on Neenah White 80# CS and ran the panels through my Big Shot using MFT Stitched Rectangle Stax. I used the Vibrant Vases by SU and used with the coordinating punch. I punched each one from SU CS which matched the gingham papers. They were finished off with various sentiments from Gina K and SU. I colored the flowers with my Prismacolor Pencils and added SU Pearls along the top edge.

That's about it for today. Have a wonderful weekend and I hope you get to do something you LOVE!

Butterfly Kisses Happy Birthday and an Oops!

I posted this card yesterday and forgot to link it over a Seize the Birthday I guess I was in too much of a hurry! So why not mosey on over there and take a look at what very talented ladies have posted.

The posting today is a Birthday Card that I made for my 4-year-old GD. I just love the Pure Innocence stamps with matching die-namics sold over at MFT. This sweet little butterfly girl stole my heart when I first saw her.

I colored the image using my Prismacolor Pencils and used Gamsol to blend and smooth out the colors. The papers are from SU the Gingham Gala Collection and Lemon Lime Twist, so are the flower sequins. The wings were brushed with Wink of Stella. I decided to use a Mini Wooble Spring from Taylored Expressions to add a little fun to the sweet butterfly. Hopefully, she will enjoy it.

That's it for today. Have a wonderful Thursday and I hope you can get to do something you LOVE!

Blessings,

Happy Mother's Day

This card will be linked over at SUO Challenges

Just a quick card today with the help of SU's Incredible Like You Project Kit. This is such a pretty kit and so easy to put together with everything cut, card stock, overlays, glimmer, silver foil die cuts accents, etc. The Mother'sDay Stamp is from an older Paper Pumpkin Kit. I finished the inside, signed it and slipped it into the mail with one the enclosed envelopes. Easy Peasy!

Thanks for stopping by and make it a great day AND go do something you LOVE!

Congrats

I recently made this card to give to my son and his family who just bought a new home here in the area. I called on an old SU Stamp, You Brighten My Day which was a Sale-A-bration free stamp set with a matching punch. The SU paper Gingham Gala, one of my favorite papers, by the way, was framed with the MFT Stitched Rectangle Frames die-namics and the Congrats die-namics.

The houses and the flag were stamped then embossed with white embossing powder which really made them pop on the pastel checked background. The base of the card is Neenah Solar White 110#, SU Balmy Blue and Blueberry Bushell were used for the houses.

Have a great day today and go do something you LOVE!

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.

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!

Hi

Just stopping by today with a card I put together for CAS(E) this Sketch #317. I've been very slow using these die-namics, Stitched Flowers from MFT. I love them but have some difficulty choosing the flowers I want to use and arranging them. I looked at several examples on Pinterest and decided to loosely follow the one I used. The "HI" die-namic is also by MFT. I used the SU DSP, Botanical Butterfly from Sale-A-Bration and SU Black CS. The black strip was embossed with the SU Subtle Dynamic Folder.

That's about it. I'm off to finish up a birthday card for one of my grandsons who will be 2 this week. Enjoy your day and go do something you LOVE!

Blessings,
BernieB

Dance & Twrirl, Birthday Girl

I'll be linking this card over at Seize the Birthday

I just finished up this card today for one of my granddaughters who will be 4 on Saturday. This is the first time I have used Pure Innocence stamps, although I love them. I have hesitated to purchase them because of fear of coloring them. Well, just let me say after today coloring them, I am in LOVE!

I've been slowly through the years learning how to color with my beloved Prismacolor pencils. I'm embarrassed to say how long I've been on the low end of the learning curve. Today I just plowed ahead, chose my colors, took out my Gamsol and just went to it. I feel it came out fairly decent knowing I need more instruction and practice.
