The Spot #107 Birthday Challenge

Good Morning! I hope that everyone is in good health on this beautiful spring morning!

This is going to be a short and sweet... I have school stuff to enforce, pigs to feed, and one more post for later today!

This week The Spot Design Team has an easy challenge for you ALL to participate in... Birthdays!!!  We all need birthday cards and I am sure that many of us are sending more out than maybe we once were! You can get all of the details by clicking the graphic above but let me show you what I have created today!

This card started with a Bermuda Bay card base with a Mango Melody mat.  I have used the Birthday Bonanza DSP paired with the scalloped rectangles from the Stitched So Sweetly dies to create this fun and cheery card. I have decided to use the Label Me Bold stamp set with the Label Me Lovely Punch to create my great little sentiment. I stamped the sentiment using the Stazon Jet Black and fussy cut it! It is layered over a stamped background of Mango Melody and Bermuda Bay stars. The Foam Adhesive strips were great for this little rectangle sentiment! What is a card from me with out a few little gems! The Gilded Gems are a new go to in my craft room and are available now from the upcoming Annual Catalog!

I am so excited to see what you create for this fun challenge I hope you

TGIF Challenges 247 Happy Birthday

Happy Friday to all of you! I am so glad that the weekend is upon us and I am sure the kids are too. There will be much folding and cleaning this weekend as it seems that everyone has forgotten how to fold the laundry or even bring it to the laundry room to be washed. The Christmas Tree needs to be put away as well... it is undecorated, and WAY earlier than years past!

Today I am designing with the TGIF Challenges Design team with a fun Happy Birthday challenge. It has been so hard for me to create anything but Valentines this last week as that is what my focus will be for class this weekend. Let me show you what I have made.

I started this card with the "Hooray" sentiment from Broadway Birthday. This was created using my Stamparatus and the Hinge Step technique. Bermuda Bay, Coastal Cabana, Mango Melody, Grapefruit Grove and Terracotta Tile was used on Whisper White card stock. Then I used the scalloped rectangle from the new Stitched So Sweetly Dies to cut it out. This is layered over 2 pieces of the Birthday Bonanza DSP. A stitched circle of Daffodil Delight to hold my sentiment banner and my party supplies from Broadway Birthday are layered over a bit of Whisper White Polka Dot Tulle. What's a birthday without some sequins? The Metallic Bakers Twine & Sequins Combo pack from the Sale A Bration catalog worked out great. A Bermuda Bay card base with Grapefruit Grove Mat made this card really pop!! Oops! Did I mention the Wink Of Stella!? It is on the party supplies!! I have provided a close up below! 

I can't wait to see what you create with this amazing birthday theme. Thank You so much for stopping by today! I hope you have an amazing weekend!
