NSD Weekend Online Crop

I frequent a private message board and we had an online crop this weekend to celebrate NSD.
Here are some of the cards that I made.

I used the Waffle Flower Tiny Hearts Die and Tiny Star Die on my paper scraps, attached them to a piece of cream cardstock on a grid pattern, then glued it to a scalloped rectangle. I stamped a greeting from a PTI Birthday stamp set.

I also made some new flair designs from a Floral Bundle that I bought from hungryjpeg.com

Thanks for passing by my blog.

Another Card with Roses

Another card made with the Altenew Vintage Roses. I stamped the leaves on the background with Versamark then embossed with gold embossing powder.

A is for

Avery Elle! I love this mini stamp set from Avery Elle. It is so fun to use.

I used HS inks (Mint) that I got from Michael's a long time ago, plus some Archical inks (Dandelion, Rose Madder). Stamped the greeting on the bottom and top of the card front with the various colors of ink. Stamped the balloon animal in Rose Madder, cut it out with the coordinating die and attached to a yellow die cut circle with foam tape, then glued the whole thing to a die cut black pinked circle.

No Bulk Shaker Card

This was inspired by Jennifer McGuire's card. I used the SSS Stitched Rectangles to cut out the window on the front of the card. For the Happy Birthday sentiment, I die cut the letters from black glitter paper using this die set from Paper Smooches. Instead of just putting a piece of transparency behind the window, I lined it with some old paper from DCWV.

This is another entry for the SSS Wednesday Challenge.

Time for another birthday card ;)

I used some of the Butterfly removable stickers from Michael's and inked over them with Milled Lavender and Tumbled Glass distress inks. Stamped a sentiment from an old Hero Arts set in Archival Jet Black ink, and done.

Another card for the SSS Wednesday Challenge and SSS Monday Challenge.

Another birthday card for another day

I saw these removable stickers at Michael's and thought that they would work great as stencils.

And they worked great! No taping needed. I used Milled Lavender distress ink applied with a round foam applicator. The sentiment came from a PTI set (happy) and Little Yellow Bicycle (birthday) that I got on clearance at Hobby Lobby.

Simon Says Stamp Monday and Wednesday Challenge

Pastels are the theme for the Monday Challenge at Simon Says Stamp.
I made birthday cards because I always need them.

Since Birthdays are the theme for the Wednesday Challenge at Simon Says Stamp, I will be linking my card there too.

Using a pre-printed card from an invitation kit, I clear embossed the sentiment Make A Wish, then painted over with some Twinkling H2O in pink, yellow and green,

I wished I would have embossed in black or brown, so that the sentiment was more visible.

Live and learn, I guess.
