No Stamping, Dies Only at Seize the Birthday

 

Hi everyone, it's time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday and JoAnn is hosting

 with a no stamping, dies only theme for this round.

Or if you absolutely want to use stamps, then play along with our anything goes birthday option.

Our party guests and my team mates have loads of inspiration for you, so hope you can play along.

I LOVE diecutting, so this theme was lots of fun for me.

I recently tidied up my dies and combined them together on magnetic sheets.

Great for storage, but not so great for knowing where the dies came from!!

I diecut the wheelbarrow from some blue and rose gold cardstock. 

The flowers are cut from some card I coloured with oxide inks, and some shades of green bazzil card.

The background and sentiment are also dies.

Cut it Up, moving along - transportation. I hope a wheelbarrow for transporting goods is OK?

Supplies:

Thanks for visiting and have a great week,

Something Cheery

Hi everyone, I made another card with this new to me set by Colorado Craft.

(It may now be retired, I always seem to be late to the party lol!)

I inked part of the panel with pumicestone oxide ink, then stencilled the brick wall using Distress crypt paste. I've had the paste and the stencil for a long time but not used them, so I'm linking up to The Neglected Stuff Challenge.

 Crazy is our game stencil fun. The brick stencil is from The Crafters Workshop. I'm playing along with the anything goes option.

Garden Florals

 

Hi everyone, I wanted to play along in a few floral challenges and use up some of the diecuts

 in my bits box.

I rarely use cream as a base but I like it here.

I was inspired by the challenge at Inkspirational where the prompt is garden.

We are at the end of Winter here, so I'm looking forward to getting my garden blooming again!

At AAA Birthday the theme is flowers, I think this sentiment covers birthdays so hope that's ok.

Cut it Up, add a sentiment

Allsorts, Embossing, I've used dry embossing on the card base and wet embossing on the sentiment.

Moving Along With the Times, Feminine

Have a great week and thanks for visiting,

Supplies:

Altenew piped floral lace 3D ef; Spellbinders be bold blooms dies; Poppystamps banner sentiments stamp & die; scraps of gold, blue and green card.

Funny / Punny at Seize the Birthday

 

Hi everyone, it's time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday and Jenny wants us to add some humour to our cards!

Or play along with our anything goes for a birthday option.

Our party guests and my team mates have some wonderful inspiration for you, so I hope you can play along.

This is a new to me stamp and die set and I love the cute pups!

I used oxide inks to create the background and Prismacolour pencils to colour the dog and balls.

I added a few cloud diecuts to fill the space on top.
