YAY! It's Your Birthday

I finished up my grandsons birthday card today and am fairly happy with it. The animals should have been a little lower on the card, but I didn't notice that until I had all glued and used foam dots. Hopefully, my grandson will not notice it. I CASED this card by Amy Yang, but changed up the sentiment. There are so many talented card makers out there that get my MOJO moving. A BIG thanks to all of you.

Several weeks ago I gathered up my "Thinking of You" sentiments from the various stamp sets and put them all in one place. I didn't realize that I had so many! It has really made my life so much easier. Although I do not have the sets they belong to labeled, it really has been a time saver for me since I make and need quite a few of this type of card.

That's it for today. I'm' off to put together some cards. 

Have a blessed Friday and a relaxing weekend!

Thinking of You

I was able to make a few cards today with the Honey Bee Bundle. I CASED this card by Hammond and Perry, although I did put my own spin on it.

I have decided for now, I will be making Thinking of You cards. It seems I need more of them than Thank You cards. That's it for today. I hope you have a great evening and a blessed Thursday.

Thinking of You Today

A card I recently made using the 

SU Honey Bee Bundle

I have 3 more using this set sitting on 

my crafting area. 

They will all be different layouts, but will be 

Thinking of You Cards 

which I always seem to have a need for.

Have a great day and enjoy your 

upcoming weekend!

Recent Cards from Card Class

These are the 4 cards I made at an SU Card Class last week. I did change them up some with different stamps from different companies and colored the Poppies with a Lovely Lipstick Stampin Write marker. The flowers on the top left are from an older SU stamp set, "Garden in Bloom". I have always loved this set, that's why I haven't sold it, but haven't used it too frequently. I'm hoping to do a series of 5 cards using this soon.

That's it for today. Have a great upcoming weekend.

Blessings,

After a Long Hiatus...

I'm back on here today to post several cards that I have recently made. My MOJO has still not returned. I seem to be in a real creative block. I've been looking at various sites, including Pinterest, but nothing has sparked my interest, creativity or my desire to create cards. Hopefully, this new year will be incentive enough to forge ahead. I can call it a New Years Resolution...Oh boy, we all know how some of those can be and how long they last, but I'm hoping for the best.

This is not the exact design I sent as a Christmas card. I had forgotten to take a picture of those I sent. I was a tad late on sending them out, so hence, it was rush time and a forgotten photo! This was the prototype, however. I moved the panel up to the top of the inset card panel, used a strip of Old Navy to separate the panels with the ribbon wrap around that. I did not use the leaves, I only used the gold bow attached to the ornament which was cut by my Cricut.

This design was the Thank You card I sent out to several people.  The "Thanks So Very Much" sentiment was from Gina K.

That's about it. I'm not adding a lot of info on the products I used, so if you would like any information on that, just shoot me an email at bernadettebliss.gmail.com. I hope you have a wonderful day and a very HAPPY NEW YEAR...

For The Birthday Girl

Good afternoon everyone. I just finished up a card for my GD who will be 6 tomorrow. The card was inspired by her picture that she titled, If Dinosaurs Came Back, and was entered by her Art teacher in our State Fair in NC. Each school was able to choose one student from grades Kindergarten-through 5th. Amelia's artwork was chosen from her Kindergarten class.

I used SU DSP Dinoroar and chose SU Lovely Lipstick, Flirty Flamingo, Old Olive, and Pool Party as the coordinating colors. Since I did not have the stamps set or matching dies for this paper, I cut the Palm Tree and Dinosaur with my Cricut.  The outside sentiment is by MFT Bitty Birthday Wishes which I stamped in Old Olive and the inside with the MFT Big Birthday Sentiments also in Old Olive cut with MFT's Stitched Sentiment Strips.

I did decide to make this a shaker card, although it was not my original plan. Although I'm not happy that the red chunky glitter stuck to the front not allowing the sequine mix to show, I'm sure my GD will not mind. The shaker was made using MFT's Rectangle Shaker Window and Frame Die-namic matching Shaker windows. Does anyone know how to prevent the static problem with glitter in a plastic shaker? 

I didn't get this card finished to link to the Seize the Birthday "For the Kids" but I will enter it in the general birthday challenge. 

Have a great Thursday and go do something you LOVE! I have a very messy desk to clean up, so no LOVE on this end! 

Blessings,

Bernie

Happiest of Birthdays to You

Happy Wednesday morning. I just finished up this card for one of my SIL's and will link it over at CASE(E) This Sketch blog.

Inside of Card

I used the SU Sailing Home suite as I have done on several other cards that I have made recently for the men in our family. I really love all the images with matching dies. I used Neenah Solar White 110# for the base with a layer of  SU Night of Navy topped with Balmy Blue which was embossed with SU's Subtle Dynamic embossing folder and cut with one of MFT's Stitched Rectangles. The sentiment is from MFT'S Bitty Birthday Wishes and cut with MFT's Skinny Strip Die-Namics.

The inside was stamped with the sailboat from the SU set and the sentiment is from MFT's Anything-but-Basics Birthday Wishes.

Well, I'm off to work on several more cards for family members who have October birthdays. Enjoy your day and I hope you get to do something you LOVE!

Blessings,

Bernie
