Happy Birthday DH: 2016

Saturday, January 9, 2016

      I can't believe that I already have my husband's birthday card ready and his birthday is almost a week away. Staying home actually lets me get some card making done. Our master bathroom is being gutted and I need to stay close by to make all those remodeling decisions. Since cleaning would be furtile, making cards is the way to spend my time.

Now for the inside.

The inside is the real deal, don't ya think? Definitely a surprise, not what you were expecting from the simple cover.

I am also submitting this to two other challenges Seize the Birthday(anything goes) and
Time Out # 47 where the theme is birthday. I didn't include the twist of sponging.

Thanks for stopping by to take a peek.

Birthday Banners

     When I saw the video for this week's MIM: Flagged borders, I knew I would have to make time to join in.   I decided to use the palette from this week's colourQ challenge

  I wanted my card to be different from the one Dawn did in the video. I had an idea to hang small banners from the Wonderful Words: birthday.  The rest of the card just evolved from there.

I stamped the presents from BB:Birthday Fun in Aqua Mist and Hawaiian Shores. Then I  fussy cut the Hawaiian Shore ones and adhered them with foam dots to add some dimension.

I used Glitter Ritz: Kiwi on the Wonderful Word: Birthday. 

I am really pleased how this turned out. Thank you for stopping by to take a peek.

Pink, Pink, Pink!

     I made a very pink, birthday card for my great niece using the newly released birthday stamps and dies from PTI.

     The wonderful word, birthday was glittered using Fuchsia Glitter Ritz.
