Just Thinking of You Today

 This is another card I created using SU Flowering Tulips w/ matching dies and DSP. As I said in my previous post, the tulip dies have proven to be challenging for me. They are pretty especially being 3D.and I will continue to play around with them to use in upcoming cards.

I will not be linking this card to any challenge but thought you might want to take a peak.



Well, I'm off to make some birthday cards. I hope you have a wonderful Wednesday!

Blessings, Bernie B

Best Wishes

Just stopping by to post a card I just finished up to add to my birthday stash. I've worked at making tulips from the SU Flowering Tulips stamp set with matching dies. I struggled a bit with getting them to look like I wanted to but finally decided on this one that is on the card. Honestly, I did a card recently using the stamps, with matching dies and like them better. I'll give the 3D tulips a few more tries and see if I like them as well. I am going to post this over at Seize the Birthday without using topping.



PRODUCTS:
SU Flowering Tulips stamp and die set

Celebrate the Season

Hello and Happy first day of March! Our weather here in Central NC is calling for some very nice temperatures this week (70's)which causes me to do the Happy Dance.

Today I took down the rest of my Christmas. I left very little out and was just waiting for today to decorate with my Spring decor inside and out. I'll be changing some of that up again in June for Summer decorations.

I was able to get upstairs to my crafting area to create a card for Addicted to CAS-Snowflakes, and CAS C&S#459

I really needed to use some snowflake dies I was given by a friend many months ago and had not used. The color combination for CASC&S 459 just sparked an aha moment when I saw it. I love this color combo.



Products Used: SU Fresh Freesia, Soft Seafoam, Flirty Flamingo, SU Itty Bitty Christmas,
SU Snowfall EF, Unknown Snowflake dies, MFT Stitched Sentiments Die-namics( I cut the edge with the stitching to fit the space) and raised the sentiment with foam, and finished the snowflakes off with SU jewels. It really was a fairly quick card that I will use for future projects this coming Christmas holiday.

As always, thanks for stopping by and I would love to hear what you think of this finished card.
Blessings, Bernie B


On a closing note, I was chosen by Addicted to Case as one of the Top 3 for challenge #212 Triangles. Thank you Design Team for choosing my card.

Happy Birthday

I am posting a card on my blog this afternoon which I will be linking over for the Freshly Made Sketches challenge of the week. I recently had gotten my SU order which included the Free 12/12 DSP, Daffodil Afternoon. I paired it with SU Melon Mambo and Daffodil Delight CS. The flower die is from MFT Sensational Stitched Die-namics and the sentiment Happy Hummingbirds by MFT.












That will be it for this post today. I have several more cards that I want to work on. I hope you have a  blessed and CRAFTY weekend! Bernie B💙
