It's Your Birthday

I am always in need of a non gender birthday card so that is what I have to share with you today.

I started my card with a white card base. and layered it with blue/green card stock.    Next I used white card stock with the Memory Box Baptisia Collage die.  I really like how this die cut shows the layer of green behind it. 

The tags were made using the Spellbinders Fancy Label Tags One.  I cut the balloons with Our Daily Bread Designs Happy Birthday die.  I used silver cord to tie the balloons together and tied a bow.

As always, I used Art Institute Dries Clear Adhesive to adhere the pieces to my card.

Thank you for stopping by today and taking a look at my card.   Have a great weekend.

Blue Bird Get Well

Classy Cards has a new challenge called Winter Blues.   I hope you will come over to the blog and play the challenge.  Beverly always has a nice prize for the winner.

I used Navy and ivory card stock along with a piece of dotted designer paper.  The bird is one of my favorite stamps from my stash. 

I used Spellbinders A2 Divine Eloquence die to cut the ivory card stock  that I stamped my bird on.  This is a day of favorites, that is one of my favorite dies, too.

The sentiment I used is from Our Daily Bread Ornate Frame Sentiments.   I embossed the navy panel behind the bird using  Crafts Too Dots embossing folder.

Thanks,  for coming by today.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year,  everyone.  Are you making any New Year's resolutions?  Personally, I am not,  I find that it does not take long for me to break them and it usually happens within the first week. ~Smile~

Every year I make New Year's cards to send to some of my friends that may not have gotten a Christmas card from me due to time running out before I could get enough cards made or put in the mail.   Unfortunately,  I did not get many of the Happy New Year cards made either.  Here is the New Year card I made to share with you today.

I started my card using black card stock and layering it with two different patterns of designer paper.  I used Super Gold Metallic card stock that was cut with a Spellbinders Teardrop Circles die.  The Impression Obsession Christmas Sentiment was stamped and layered on the top of the tear drop circle.

I used the Memory Box Over The Moon and Stars die to cut the large moon shape.  I placed silver and gold sequins over my card to give it a holiday appeal.

Thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful day.

Card For Comfort

Here is a card I made to send to a friend with health problems.  The stamps I used are from Our Daily Bread.   The bird and scripture was so perfect for her.  Just reading the scripture could provide comfort. The paper I used from my card was a beige piece of decorative card stock with no other color.  I stamped some flowers and vines on it to give it some color.   I used a cloud template to sponge the sky around the scripture and the bird.

Thank you for stopping by today.  I hope you visit again soon.

Classy Cards N Such Challenge #117 - Let It Snow

Hello, stamping friends.   I have a snowflake card to share with you for the challenge at Classy Cards challenge #117.  The challenge is all about snowflakes.

I started with a white base.   I used the Memory Box Distressed Baptisia Collage die on the lower corner of the card.  I cut a piece of Stardream Rose Quartz card stock to use for the layer on the inside of the card so it shows through the top part of the card. 

I also used Stardream Rose Quartz to use with the Sue Wilson Joy -Festive Collection die.  I put a layer of gray card stock behind it to make it stand out.  I really like the pink and gray color combination.

I cut a gray snowflake using the Memory Box Rizza Snowflake die.    I cut another one from pink to make the pink center of the snowflake.

I wanted to add a couple of small snowflakes to my card in the pink Stardream Rose Quartz card stock.  They were cut using the  Impression Obsession Small Snowflake set die.

The finishing step to my card was adding silver sequins.  I adhered the sequins and all the card parts using  Art Institute Dries Clear Adhesive.

Thank you, for joining us today.  I hope you are ready to get started on your snowflake card and join us for the challenge.

The Season Of Music

Here is a card I made for Classy Cards N Such.  I wanted to make an unusual Christmas card and I think I succeeded.   ~grin~  The music on my card reminded me of days past, when I was a child.  We always had a good time singing Christmas carols and celebrating the season.

I started my card by sponging my card stock with Picked Raspberry, Mustard Seed and Evergreen Distress Stain.

I stamped the sentiment on the card using Impression Obsession Christmas Sentiments stamp set.  I adhered the Memory Box Party Music over the top of the sponged colors.  I used silver card stock to make the Small Snowflakes by Impression Obsession.  I wrapped my card up by adhering the pieces to the card using Art Institute Dries Clear Adhesive.

I entered this card is the Impression Obsession - Snowy Wishes challenge.

A Cold Winter Night

My card for today is for the Classy Cards N Such Silent Night challenge.  The Inspiration Picture looks so peaceful to look at, but it has way more snow than I am wanting to see.    

I cut my snowbanks and put them on the card leaving enough room to put my Impression Obessesion Brick House and  for the Poppystamps Bundled Snowman.  I placed Sue Wilson

Winter Trees in the snow banks.  My finishing touch was placing the  Art Impressions 

Christmas Star in the sky and added stickles to it.

Here is the inspiration picture and we would love to have you join us for the challenge.
