Happy Birthday

 Hello all. I hope you had a good day and are looking forward to your weekend. I am posting a card I created for my GD's birthday on May 8th. When I was looking through my list of challenges I came across Pattie's Creations Design Challenge and thought this card would fit the challenge. So many cute cards posted for this challenge.  She also offers her digital images to use if you wish to. This card does not, but you can use a stamped image, which I did. I'll also be posting this over on Seize the Birthday.

PRODUCTS :

SU stamp set: Sweet Ice Cream and matching punch for the scoops of icecream

SU CS, Burmuda Bay, SU matching Sweet Ice Cream DSP, So Saffron, Kraft, Neenah Solar White#80

Sentiment MFT Make A Wish

MFT Fishtail Flag Trio

That is it for this afternoon. I'm leaving shortly to attend my youngest daughter's Birthday party.

Have a great weekend!

Blessings, Bernadette

You're in My Heart...

 Hello all. I hope you are having a good day. Our weather has turned a little cold last night and today it hasn't warmed up too much. I'm a gal who likes it 70+ all year round. I have been a little spoiled living in Florida, Arizona, and Southern California over the years. 

Today's post is a card I made for a dear friend who is battling her second round of cancer. I did keep this pretty simple and decided not to add any bling. I'll be posting this over at the CAS C&S challenge for this week. 

PRODUCTS:

Sentiment by MFT Sending Prayers with matching die-cut

Paper: SU Balmy Blue, Magenta Madness, Coastal Cabana, Neenah Solar White#110, MFT Black & White Stripes (6x6 paper back)

Punch: SU Heart Punch (ret.)

Ink: Versafine black ink

That is all for today. I have to work on several birthday and encouragement cards.

Have a blessed day!

Bernadette

Wishing You The Best Birthday

 Happy Saturday! I am here today to post a card that I will be linking over on two challenges. The first being  Seize the Birthday and the second, The Flower Challenge. I was inspired today by a video that Mindy Eggen posted. She had pulled out Gina K's original Wreath Builder stencil and using the original Wreath Builder stamp set. I honestly can't remember the last time I used it. I should have gone back to my older posts. Mindy said that this video might get my mojo moving and it did! I had so much fun with playing with the flowers and colors.

PRODUCTS

Stamp: GinaK Wreath Builder Stamp with stencils

Inks: Altenew Pinkalicious, Wisteria, Gina K Sweet Corn, SU Lucky Limeade

Paper: SU Magenta Madness, Neenah Solar White#110

Wink of Stella to highlight the flowers

I'm off to post these cards and clean up my craft desk. I hope you have a great weekend.

Blessings, Bernadette

 Hello! Just posting a card today that I made using the new Altenew Mini Delight: One in a Million stamp and die combo. I will be posting this for the CAS Colours & Sketches challenge this week. This is a clean and simple thank you card using few elements.

That will be all for this afternoon. I hope you have a great weekend. I'm going to tackle my Screen Porch tomorrow. Hopefully, all the Pine Pollen is just about done or I'll need to do another clean. It's one of my favorite places to sit in the morning and late afternoon and I have not been able because of the pollen on the cushions, chairs, and rug.

Blessings,

Bernadette

I Am Grateful For You

 

Hello today from NC. We have another beautiful day, sunny and warm which I am thankful for.
I'm here posting a card to link over at the current CAS Colours and Sketches. I'm attempting to use  some of the sentiments from MFT's Bitty Thanks and Gratitude to be able to send cards to Scrapbook.com to use for their Cards for Kindness drive. 

I've decided to use a product list again to shorten the description of the products used. To me, it just seemed like a more reasonable way to tell you of the products I used on mycard design.

PRODUCTS USED:

SU Bloom with Hope(ret.), MFT Bitty Thanks & Gratitude

Inks: SU Mossy Meadow, Bumblebee, Versafine black

Dies: MFT A2 Rectangle Stax 1, MFT Stiched Sentiment Strips

Paper: SU Merry Merlot, Neenah Solar White #110

That is all for today. I hope you have a great Sunday!

Blessings,

Bernadette

Happy Birthday Fun Fold

Hello and Happy Saturday. I'm posting a card today that I will link over at Seize the Birthday. I just had received this stamp set by SU, Sweet Ice Cream suite, and had not used it until yesterday. I had my grandchildren specifically in mind when I bought this set with the matching punch. There are so many different designs that are on Pinterest using the matching paper and stamps in this suite. My SU Demo, Dianna sent a video by Connie Stewart that piqued my interest that I decided to try it. Connie calls it a flip card and it is so cute and certainly was a little out of my comfort level, but I gave it a try and I LOVE it. I wasn't able to shot a photo of how it opens up completely. I had already signed it and felt uncomfortable doing that. If you get a chance look up Connie on her Youtube site. I did change mine as far as colors, paper, and used a double cone. I used SU Tempting Turquoise and So Saffron for the base and SU ink in the same colors for the cones.

Side view

The flap at the top flips up and you are able to open the folded card which I stamped with the sentiments," Happy Birthday / With Sprinkles on Top.

That will be all for today. I have some Thank You cards to create and mail by Monday.

 Blessisngs,

Bernadette

Sincere Thanks

 Just jumping on here late tonight with a card that I will be linking for the weekly challenge over at CAS C&S. I used Altenews Striped Florals Stamp Set to incorporate the colors for the challenge. The flowers were stamped on watercolor paper and colored with SU Stampin Write markers and Gina K Peach Bellini ink. I finished the flowers and leaves with Wink of Stella to add more brightness to the color of the florals. To finish the card I chose a sentiment from MFT's Bitty Thanks and Gratitude.

That is it for tonight. I have family coming in for the Easter holiday tonight so 

                     I need to get off to be able to greet them.

Have a Blessed and Happy Easter

Bernadette
