Happy Birthday!

Hello everyone,

I am stopping in and playing along with a couple of challenges.  I needed a birthday card so this was perfect to play along with Seize the Birthday, the challenge is to use bright colors!  I am also playing along with Mod Squad Challenge, the challenge is to make a birthday card and make sure there is a balloon on the card.

I am happy the way my card turned out, I believe I used nice and bright colors for the Seize the Birthday Challenge and I don't think you can miss the balloons on my card for the Mod Squad Challenge.

Here is my take on the challenges:

The stamp set I used is a retired set from Stampin Up called Celebrate Today.  I stamped the balloons with the new Gina K. Design inks and used my Scan and Cut to cut out the balloons.  I die cut the colorful layer and adhered it to my top folding card.  I added the balloons to the card with foam tape and added some twine from my stash.

Thanks for stopping by, please come back again soon!

Retro Rubber Challenge #37 - Sketch

Hello everyone,

I am back again with Retro Rubber Challenge blog and we have a sketch challenge for you.  I hope you will join the fun and play along with us.  Here is the sketch and my take on it.

I love the bright colors of my birthday card.  You can never have enough birthday cards in your stash. The balloon and sentiment is from the Stampin Up set "Celebrate Today" and it was released in December of 2014.  The "happy birthday" sentiment is from the Hero Arts "Year Round Sentiments" which is one of my favorite sets from 2012.

How I created my card:  I stamped the balloon with SU Hello Honey and stamped the sentiment in Night of Navy.  I die cut the balloon out and added some twine and popped it up on my card.  I added some DSP at the bottom of my card for color and stamped my sentiment.  I added some enamal dots to finish off my card.

I hope you have been inspired by my card to join the challenge. You have until May 6 to hop on over to Retro Rubber to join the challenge. Remember to use a stamp over a year old and make sure you tell us how old it is. I cannot wait to see your creation!
