Make it Pop

Hello, It’s the last Thursday of the month and time for the next Topping at Seize the Birthday. Ashwini is our wonderful hostess and she has an interesting and fun topping for us. She chose- Make it Pop, which leaves a load of possibilities for you. For instance; You could use bright colors, large dies, funky images, lots of dimension, and perhaps even an action wobbler. I hope that helps to spark your creativity. I chose bright colors, stripes, and large die cuts for my Make it POP!

Over at Seize the Birthday, we have two additional guests joining us for this topping- Lisa Elton and Deepti Aggarwal, plus our Surprise Party Guest Bonnie Klass. Welcome, ladies! That is quite a line-up of talent in addition to our wonderful team! You must come by and see how everyone was inspired.

Card Details: These hibiscus flowers and green leaves were borrowed from a friend and are Altenew. The striped background was made with a SU stencil. The scalloped rectangles are from MFT. The white leaves are from Stampin Up.

I hope to see you over at Seize the Birthday! Take care and happy crafting, Nanc’

Happy Birthday

Hello again, I have definitely found my mojo again post-vacation. YAY! Now if I can just get my Vertigo to go away and this terrible toothache taken care of, I will be 100 %! I loved the colors at The Color Throwdown so much that I went ahead and made another entry. I will warn you that I have become obsessed with this Strawberry Patch die set from Spellbinders, so you might be seeing more of it very soon.

Card Details: I thought it would be fun to make some pink strawberries and perhaps even some checkered stems. I love the way it turned out. This time I inked my strawberries with pink dye ink in hopes to get a more vibrant color. I also inked up the leaves as well. The stems are just patterned paper. The polka-dotted background is from Sunny Studio-Frilly Frames and the scalloped frame is from MFT. Remember the Strawberry Patch is on sale right now, for 10.00!

Birthday Wishes

Hello, I am back with one final card using some new products from Spellbinders. What I have used once again is the fun new Best Wishes on Your Birthday from the Glimmer Hot Foil Sentiments Collection. There are a total of 6 fun bold sayings in this collection. If you want to see the others, I have all the May arrivals linked for you below. I paired it with a few other Spellbinder products that are also listed below.

This time I used pink foil, and let me just say that I love it as much as I did the mint foil I used a few days ago. What colors of Foil do you have that I should add to my collection? If you missed the mint card you should scroll down as it was one of my favorites for sure. I used a piece of DSP from Pink and Main for my background. Then I had one more pink butterfly sticker from Spellbinders that I thought would work perfectly in my design. I decided last minute to add the flower bloom to give the butterfly something to ground it. A very quick and easy card.

Have a Cozy Birthday

Hello, It’s Saturday and time for Photo/MoodBoard Week at Just Us Girls. Bobby is our wonderful hostess and she has a fun board for us to be inspired by. As soon as I saw her collage of photos I knew which set I was going to pull out to use.

Card Details: All MFT products-DSP, Die sets; Decor and More, Take a Seat, Fundamental Furnishings, Potted Plants and the sentiment is from the Couch Potato set. The small rectangle is also MFT and called Wacky rectangles.

I appreciate you stopping by and I hope you will come on over to Just Us Girls and check out what the team has done this week…along with our guest Clarie. I certainly was inspired!

Take care, Nanc’

Celebrating You

Hello, I am struggling to get motivated to get back to card making since returning from vacation and I know the vertigo isn’t helping things. So I decided the best way to spark some mojo is to CASE myself. So that is what I have done today. Here is a link to the card I am copying.

I am also playing along with the pretty color combo over at The Color Throwdown. The colors are; Pink, Lime Green, and White. It certainly screams spring or summer, doesn’t it?

Card Details: Stencil is Honey Bee Stamps, the Mums and leaves are from Pink and Main, and the greeting is an oldie from Verve. The long stem coming out of the flowers is from Sizzix…I do believe.

I hope you have a wonderful day and a great weekend ahead. Nanc’

Best Wishes on Your Birthday

Second Post of the day! If you are looking for Color Hues, please scroll down!

Hello, I am back from Vacation and feeling a bit out of it this morning, between the time zone difference and the dizziness, I don’t know which way is up. Do you get Vertigo when you fly? I certainly do! And since I was on 6 different planes in the past 10 days, it’s pretty bad this morning. I am a tad behind in sharing some of the latest products from Spellbinders with you all, so let me get right to it!

What I have used today is the fun new Best Wishes on Your Birthday from the Glimmer Hot Foil Sentiments Collection. There are a total of 6 fun bold sayings in this collection. If you want to see the others, I have all the May arrivals linked for you below along with the particular supplies I used for this card above.

For my card, I paired it with other Spellbinder products; the packages from the Holiday Express- Tinsel Time Collection, and the Geometric Flower background was foiled for the card base. I love the look of Foil on Foil, don’t you? I used gold foil on this card but in some places, it appears to be rainbow foil but trust me it is not. The challenges of photography!

You’re the Goat

Hello, I am back today for the next Topping at Seize the Birthday. Jules is our wonderful hostess and she has asked us to use Wheels on our card. I made this card for my hubby’s Birthday as he grew up on a farm in Michigan. He said the tractor is the same color as the one they had when he was a kid. He really loved his card.

Card Details: The stencil is from MFT. I used a watercolor wash to make the background. The stamp sets are also MFT and the set is called Farmtastic Friends. The fence, however, is from Spellbinders and it’s actually the back of the car (Sunday Drive) where you are supposed to put packages or such. I found them left-over on my desk and thought they would work perfectly for a fence. I used a mix of Prismas and Copics too.

I would also like to take a moment and welcome Bonnie Klass to the team for the next two months as our next Surprise Party Guest. Bonnie, I am thrilled to have you designing with us. We also have my friend, Carol McFarland joining us for this challenge as she was the overall winner of our previous challenge. Welcome to you both!

Now, please come on over to Seize the Birthday and check out everyone’s cards using Wheels and then join us! Nanc’

To the Birthday Chick

Hello, I hope you are having a good day! It’s Color Week at Just Us Girls and I am the hostess. The colors I have selected are Pink and Yellow. I love this color combo and hope you do too. This card was fun to color up and put together. I don’t color enough and I do really enjoy it.

Card Details: The background stencils are from Honey Bee Stamps, the chick/greeting are from MFT. I used Copics and a bit of Prismas. The greeting is heat embossed.

Now before I go I want to also take a moment and welcome our next guest over at JUGS, we have the talented Claire Apostoloff joining us this month! Welcome, Claire…I am so glad you are with us.

Please, won’t you pop on over to Just Us Girls and join us? We would love to have you!

Take care and happy crafting, Nanc’

Happy Birthday

Hello, I am back today with a card for the latest challenge at The Paper Players. I love playing with my sweet friends over there and I also love Tic Tac Toe challenges, and that is what Anne Maria has for us today.

I am playing along with the diagonal row of Bright Colors, Die Cut, and Birthday.

Card Details: Pink Fresh Studio- Daisy Wreath, the Daisy stencil is from Miss Ink Stamps. The sentiment is an oldie from Verve. I am enjoying my new small blending brushes from Waffle Flower as they allow you to be more precise when ink blending. I have used a mix of Oxide inks and Catherine Pooler inks.

I so appreciate you stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day and a great week ahead! Nanc’

Balloons

Hello, I hope you are doing well. It’s the fourth Thursday of the month and time for the next Topping over at Seize the Birthday. Vicki has chosen a fun one for us! All you need is to add a balloon or two on your card. Remember, our toppings are always optional any Birthday card will do too. I have had this balloon stencil for over a year or more and it’s the first time I have used it.

Card Details: Stencil is from Catherine Pooler and the greeting is all in one and from MFT.

Now before I go I want to say thanks to Hilary for being such a fabulous Surprise Party Guest over the past two months. We really enjoyed all your wonderful cards. I also want to say welcome to Claire, she is with us as a guest as well, as she was the overall winner of our last challenge. Welcome to you, Claire.
