A Hello You Birthday

Today I'm sharing one of the cards from my March Hello You Vellum card class, and hopefully this will be the first of a bunch more posts. I have quite a few cards that I've made, taken pictures of, but haven't had time to share on my blog. I'm looking forward to getting some of them up and posted to share with you.

This card was inspired by several cards that I've seen using the Hello You framelit with the masking and sponging, but I decided to cut the "Happy" framelit out of black CS so that it would stand out. These little word framelits make such cute cards.

So glad that you stopped by!

CS: Whisper White, Daffodil Delight, Basic Black, Back to Black DSP
INK: Soft Sky, Coastal Cabana, Black Memento
SS: Crazy About You
Big Shot: Hello You framelit, Stars framelit, Large stitched rectangle (Lawn Fawn)

I case'd this card from SU's Bday Under Construction digital kit (which I love, BTW). I used My Digital Studio to create the More Mustard background and to create the "happy birthday" embellishment, cutting it out, adding a brad to one of the stars and dimensionalling it onto the front of card. Fast, easy, and cute!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Happy Birthday, Mimi!

I've finally found some time to use some of the fun Sale-A-Bration items I got free. Better late than never, right? Today I'm sharing a birthday card I made for my youngest granddaughter, who is turning one. I tried to create a card that was pink and soft, but it just didn't fit her personality. The bright colors of the Sycamore Street DSP reflect her busyness and fun, bouncy countenance best.

I used the cute stamp set Bring on the Cake, stamping it in Island Indigo and then used Tangerine Tango, Summer Starfuit and Island Indigo markers to color and decorate the outlined numbers.

I hope that you're having a great day!

This card was for my oldest granddaughter. When she was a toddler she had imaginary butterflies who were her friends. One of her butterflies names was Zsa-Zsa. She has since gotten older, so I used the Papillon Potpourri stamp set and coordinating Elegant Butterfly punch to create a grown up Zsa-Zsa butterfly to add to her grown up card.
The color combination and Framed Tulip idea came from one of "Create with Connie and Mary's" color challenges (Rich Razzleberry, Night of Navy, Lucky Limeade).

I keep finding myself using the You are Loved stamp set, which worked so well for the floral motifs. The sentiment "Happiest Birthday" is from the Apothecary Art stamp set.

My granddaughter submitted a poem to Answers in Genesis and they published it on their blog. I'm sharing her poem here and the link to the post, "An Eleven-year-old Who Gets It!"

Oh, what a sight

When God created light.

He called the light day

And the darkness night.

He separated darkness

From light as you know.

God saw that it was good.

And this is not just a show.

What did God do

On day number two?

I’ll give you a hint,

I’ll give you a clue.

Sometimes it’s black

And sometimes it’s blue.

It’s heaven or sky,

Remember the clue?

What would it be like

Without fruit, trees, or plants?

Just try to imagine it.

I bet you can’t.

If God hadn’t created

Land on the third day

You’d always be floating

Or swimming.  No way!

Three days have passed

And there still are more.

And right now it is

Day number four.

When God creates

Very wonderful lights.

Like stars, sun, and moon

For thousands of nights.

This is what

The fifth day features:

Sea animals and Flying creatures.

He made all those

Creatures on that day.

And that is all

I have to say.

Now the sixth day

Is very neat.

So how about

We have a seat.

He made animals of land

And formed man by His hand.

Out of dust man came

And soon you will find out his name.

It’s day number seven

And our week is done.

Watching God create

Was really fun.

Now it’s time for

God to rest.

Which day did

You like the best?

Thanks for letting me share!

Bold Bright Birthday

This fun card was inspired by a card I saw on another stamp set company's blog. The Mixed Bunch stamp set is has several great floral images. This image worked great with the bright yellow Summer Smooches DSP. I loved the bold black border on the card I cased and used it to set off the bright yellow flower.

Thanks for stopping by:-)
