My Husband's Birthday Card

I'm on here tonight to post a card that I made my husband for his birthday. My jump-off point was the Freshly Made Sketch 450.  My hubby is a coffee lover and these cute take out cups paired with this sentiment was perfect.

I will also be posting this over to Seize the Birthday, although I didn't add the toppings. This is the perfect landing spot for my Birthday cards.

Products used:

SU Flowers for Every Season DSP

SU Cinamon Cider, Bumblebee

MFT Cup of Love stamp set

MFT  Mini Cafe' All Day Die-namics

MFT Big Birthday Sentiments

Well, it's getting late so I'm going to wrap up this post. I hope you have a wonderful weekend. Stay Safe and Well.

Blessings, Bernie Bee

Cupcake Birthday Wishes

Hi all! I'm posting a card tonight that I created to enter  in the CAS(E) this Sketch Challenge. I'm still going through stamps and came across this stamp and die set by Taylored Expressions, Build a Treat Border(ret). I felt it would work well with the sketch.

I colored the cupcakes with my Prismacolor pencils and added some Wink of Stella to each one after I had die cut them. The base of the card is Sour Apple by MFT and the cupcakes are layered on SU's Bumblebee and Moonlight Mist card stock. It's time to wrap up things for the evening.

Have a good Wednesday and stay safe and well!

Good Afternoon! Just popping in to post a card that I created today to link over at CAS Colours & Sketches.

I have been sorting through stamp sets and dies seeing what I will keep and what I'll sell. Its been a daunting job. This particular set, SU Butterfly Basics is one I will be keeping. 

I decided to off-set the floral panel, but the jury is still out on that decision.

MFT Stitched Scallop Basics

MFT Fishtail Trio

MFT Stitched Rectangle Die-namics

That's it for today. I hope you have a safe weekend and stay well!

God is Our Refuge

Hi All!  I'm here today posting two cards that I created to link over on Mojo Monday  Julee created a nice sketch for us to jump-start our creativity. I did not follow the sketch exactly. The circle on Julee's sketch covered the strip towards the bottom of the card, mine does not. By the way, a mistake of my part, but I left them the way they were so I would not have to start the card all over again. :))

The scripture verse I used on both cards is by Julee when she had her store. Sorry, I don't have the name of the set I took this from. My thought on using this particular scripture was to remind us that God is our Refuge not only during these difficult times we are going through as a Nation but our own personal trails we go through. I'll be making more cards with Scripture encouraging verses in the future.

I decide today that on the part I will list the products used as I had done previously. It just seems simpler.  I hope that works for all of you. 

PRODUCTS USED:

SU Flowers for Every Season

SU Bumblebee, Just Jade, Misty Moonlight, Cinnamon Cider Card Stock (2022 In Colors)

Neenah Solar White#110 for Circles

MFT Stitched Flowers Die-namics

SU Stitched Shapes(Lg. Circle)

SU Ink Misty Moonlight, Just Jade

I'm all finished for today on these cards. I am considering entering some other challenges, but I need to decide which one and get my supplies together. Have a wonderful Wednesday and stay safe and well.

Blessings, Bernie Bee

You are my sunshine

I'm finishing up my day today with a card I will be posting over on  CAS(E) this Sketch blog.

This was another clean and simple card to put together. They always are when I can choose my die cuts and sentiments beforehand. I used two Die-namics by MFT, Sunny Skies, and Stitched Clouds, plus Stitched Rectangle Die-namics. I used SU's Seaside Spray and  So Saffron as my main colors and completed them with a sentiment from Gina K. All About You.

That's about it for today. Making dinner should be my next priority, although I rather keep creating!

Have a blessed and safe evening. 

Blessings, Bernie B

Have a Really Great Day

Hi all! Just posting a card that I will be linking over on the CAS ON FRIDAY blog.  The theme is NATURE for this challenge.

I decided to brush off my SU Tropical Thinlits Dies. I cut the die from SU Shaded Spruce backed with Granny Apple Green. The sentiment is from MFT's Well, Hello inked with Hero Arts Black ink. I adhered the Palm Leave die cut and the sentiment to a piece of Neenah Solar White #110 lb. that I embossed with the SU's Subtle 3D EF. which I use often. It creates a very subtle texture which I really like. That was it, easy peasy! I will be making several more of this design using different color combinations.

I'm off to create another card, hopefully before I need to start dinner. Stay safe and well...

Blessings, Bernie B
