Seize the Birthday #318 and AAA Birthday #81

Today's card is for two challenges.  Seize the Birthday has the topping of "Make your own snowflake background" and AAA Birthday wants a winter birthday card.  Easy Peasy.

It's been a while since I've used a Concord and 9th Turnabout.  In fact I had to look at a video to remember how to do it.  I stamped it three turns using VersaMark ink and white pearl embossing powder on Blueberry.  Even though it's called white pearl it looks silvery when embossed.  'Winter' from TH was cut from white glitter cardstock and the Hero Arts sentiment was white heat embossed on Blueberry scraps and cut apart.  I have plenty of winter birthdays so this will come in handy.

Double D - 10th Birthday

Congratulations to Darlene and Diane on the 10th anniversary of Double D.  Once I saw the mood board, I knew I had just the right stamp set to make a card for the celebration.

The Greetery's Balloon Bouquet was gifted to me by a friend during a de-stash and this is the first time I've used it.  If you look at the mood board photo on the upper left you can see why.  The balloon was stamped with Altenew Artic ink to give it a translucent look.  The flowers and sentiment were stamped with Catherine Pooler inks. 

Thanks for dropping by and spending a little bit of your day with me.

Freshly Made Sketches #718

Amy's sketch at Freshly Made Sketches is perfect for using up some of our carefully hoarded saved patterned paper.  I have some that have been around for years and it's time to put them to use.

These papers are from a Kaisercraft pack that I think was gifted from a friend.  The pack also includes  sentiment labels so I picked one of them to use on my card.  The lace is an ancient die from My Craft Spot, (oob).  

Thanks for dropping by.  I truly do wish you the best day ever.

Just Us Girls #805 - Word Week

Elizabeth is our host again for Word Week at Just Us Girls and this is what she chose:

I saw Jennifer McGuire use a cute set from Pinkfresh Studio and had to add it to my stash, partly for the sentiments that include dies.

It's called Get Well Soon and the bundle includes the stamp, die, and stencil.  You can't tell but I used Lisa Horton's gold for the handles, spout and stripes on the saucer.  The background was partially embossed with Tasteful Textiles from SU and colored with Kitsch Flamingo, leaving the bottom smooth for a Hickory Smoke 'table'.

Laurel and the Design Team have some wonderful words of encouragement for you to see.  We hope to inspire you to make a card for the challenge.

Time Out #304

Welcome to the first Time Out challenge of 2026.  It's a theme challenge.

We are also welcoming a new Design Team member, Jaydee from Stampin' with Jaydee.  You will love seeing her creative cards every fortnight.  

Now that Christmas is over, I've started on my valentines. 

Two sizes of MFT hearts were cut from a white panel and layered over Altenew's Treasured Ruby glitter cardstock using foam to pop it up.  The simple sentiment is from Concord and 9th.

Gina K is the sponsor for this challenge and she is rewarding our winner with a $25 store credit.  We award the winner with an invitation to be our guest designer.  That should be incentive enough to enter the challenge.  We hope to see your glitter card in the gallery.
