Showered With Love

Hi all. I'm here posting a Bridal Shower card. I don't know the last time I even made one! I chose to use the sketch over at CAS C&S to put this together. I chose the Pink and Grey color theme hoping it will seem modern and fresh and fit the sketch. I debated about adding some flowers to the umbrella but decided against it. It seemed to me that it would too busy.

I used the SU stamp set, Under My Umbrella which I borrowed from my demonstrator. The foundation base is Neenah Solar White#80, SU Blushing Bride, and a DSP by SU which I don't recall the name. I also used the sentiment from the set and cut it out with the SU Stitched Shapes Framelits.

That will be all for today. I have a very messy craft area to tidy up before I lose any stamps.

Have a good weekend and I hope you are able to enjoy some crafty time!

Blessings, Bernadette

Boys Will Be Boys Birthday Card

 I am here today posting a card that I have made for my grandson who lives in Maine. He is a big fan of LEGOS and I still had an older stamp set from SU Boys Will Be Boys. I will be linking this over on Seize the Birthday although this is just a card without the toppings.

I did use SU Lucky Lime Twist for the frame, Crushed Olive Distress ink for the Legos, and also use Distress Oxide Mustard Seed and Spiced Marmalade Distress ink to color in the Robot. The balloons were from MFT Better Together using the stamp and matching die.

That will be it for this post. I'm headed over to CAS C& S to post a card I made

 for a Bridal Shower, I am going to tomorrow afternoon.

Have a safe and enjoyable weekend.

Masculine Happy Birthday

 I just a quick drop-in today. I just finished up a card that I will be putting over on two challenges, Freshly Made Sketches and Seize the Birthday. I decided that I would use this as a Masculine card even though it has some BLING on it. I always need more masculine Birthday Cards in my Birthday Box.

I used the three shades of Green using 3 SU papers, Kraft paper was used for the background which  I used the SU 3D Textured EF to give the paper some interest. The rectangles were layered onto an old heavy, off-white speckled SU paper. Sorry, but I can't remember the name of the product.

The remainder of the products used will be in the sidebar of the post.

Have a great rest of the day! Stay Well and Stay Healthy.

Happiest of Birthdays To You

Good Morning. Today I am posting another Birthday card to add to my Birthday Card box. I chose to use CAS Colours & Sketches colour challenge for the week. I have been pushing myself out of the box with colour challenges. I tend to get anxious trying to come up with a design using different colours, but I have found it helpful to use a Colour Wheel when I'm not doing a challenge.

I chose to use the flowers from the MFT Fun Flower set, coloring them in with SU Calypso Coral and Terracotta Tile. I just stamped the leaves from SU Granny Apple Green paper since I did not have that ink. The stitched square that highlights the flowers was done using my Gel Press. I stamped my Calypso Coral straight to the pad then ran my brayer about five X's over it then pressed the paper onto it. I am happy with the color and smoothness it produced. I haven't used this technique much but will be experimenting more. Using a SU embossing folder after assembling the flowers I put it on my card base. 

That is it for today. We have another beautiful sunny day, but only in the high 40's. 

I'm so ready for Spring weather to show up!

Stay Safe and Well

Masculine Happy Birthday

 I'm here today posting a card that I have made for one of my sons. I had gotten inspiration for this card from Julie Dinn over on Pinterest. Thank you, Julie! I will be putting this over on the AAA Birthday Card Challenge Game 22. The striped paper is from MFT 6x6 Black & White Stripes. I do really love this paper and do not use it enough. The large sentiment is from MFT and so are the candles from Make a Wish. The yellow paper is from SU, I used MFT Stitched Rectangle Frames for a border and the sentiment is MFT's Essential Sentiments. Once I had all the elements cut and stamped the card came together fairly quickly.

Hoping you will enjoy this evening and have a great weekend. I'm off tomorrow to one of my daughter's birthday parties and will be joined by 2 of her sisters. No boys allowed this time around.

I just love getting together with my family!

Blessings, Bernadette

Sending You Hearts

Just a quick stop by today with a card that I have made for my Great-granddaughter. I am sending this over to The Paper Players for their recent challenge although I'm coming in at the last minute on this entry.

This little kitty was too cute not to enter using a cat of some kind on the card. I stamped the cat image from MFT Cute Critters with a sentiment and die cut from the same set. I used several SU papers, Smokey Slate and Highland Heather. The Kitten was colored with my Prismacolor Pencils.

That is it for tonight. I hope you can enjoy your evening and have a blessed Friday and weekend.

Blessings, Bernadette

 

Birthday Blessings

 I'm here this afternoon posting a card that I will be putting over on the CAS Colour and Sketches for their recent challenge. I'm continuing to add to my Birthday Card stash which is so helpful when I need one to send quickly.

I looked through my older stamp sets today to pick some images to use on several different challenges and chose this one for the CAS entry. It is an older SU stamp set, Happy Watercolor. I stamped it on Neenah Solar White #80 lb. and used several Altenew inks to colour it. The paper is SU Highland Heather. The stamp for the sentiment is from my go-to MFT Bitty Birthday Wishes.

I hope you have a wonderful evening. The weather here in Clayton was 70 degrees! Unfortunately, it will only last until tomorrow and then we will have more rain for several days.

Blessings, Bernadette
