Red, White & Green Birthday

I made this card for the Seize the Birthday 'Red, White Plus One Colour' challenge and I've chosen green as my third colour.

To make this card I used:
     6" x 6" white hammer card blank
     Memory Box 'Wild Blooms' die
     Clearly Besotted 'Fabulous Fuchsias' stamp
     Versafine Olympia Green ink
     Snippets of white hammer card, dark green plain card and dark red pearlescent card

I trimmed a snippet of white hammer card and die cut the 'Wild Blooms' from the left side.  I placed the panel into my MISTI to position the sentiment stamp which was then stamped in dark green ink.  The panel was layered onto a snippet of dark green card and attached to the card blank.  I used another snippet of dark green card to cut the stems and inlaid them into the panel.  The blooms were cut from snippets of dark red pearlescent card and inlaid into the card.

I am entering the following challenges:
     Daisy Chain Challenge - Flowers
     Happy Little Stampers Birthday Challenge - Anything Goes
     Love to Scrap - Anything Goes
     Memory Box Challenge - Floral Favourites
     Seize the Birthday - Red, White Plus One Colour'
     Snippets Playground - Challenge 449

Sparkling Tree Tile

I made this card for the CAS Christmas 'Tree' challenge.  I'm also entering the ABC Christmas Challenge 'P for Plain', the Memory Box Challenge 'Keep Cool and Carry On' and Happy Little Stampers Anything Goes with Dies challenge.

Card blank: 6" x 4" white matt
Die: Memory Box 'Sparkling Tree Tile'
Card: Green mirri and white matt

I die cut the tree from white card and trimmed around the edge so it was ¾" smaller than the card blank.  Before attaching the panel onto the green mirri matting layer I masked around the tree on the rear and sprayed it with Stick and Spray.  The panel was then layered onto the green mirri and attached to the centre of the card.  I placed a piece of kitchen paper on top of the tree and applied gentle pressure to ensure all the small intricate pieces of the die cut tree were secure.

Birthday Cupcakes

The current Seize the Birthday challenge is 'Cupcakes or Candy'.  I don't have any suitable stamps or dies, but found a card with cupcakes in my upcycling box which was perfect for my card.  I'm also entering the Allsorts 'Birthday Wishes' and the Memory Box 'Tickled Pink' challenges.

Card blank: 6" x 4" white silk
Die: Memory Box 'Grand Happy Birthday'
Card: Marianne Design 'Snow Paper', pink pearl and silver mirri
Other: Upcycled birthday card

I die cut the Grand Happy Birthday from both the Snow Paper (which is a pinkish glitter card) and pink pearl card, these were trimmed and inlaid onto a piece of silver mirri card before being attached to the card front.   I fussy cut the cupcakes from the upcycled birthday card and attached them to the lower edge of the card with Pinflair glue.

Memory Box Butterfly

Memory Box have started a monthly challenge and the first challenge is 'Butterflies'.  As I have used a floral paper for this birthday card I'm also entering the Butterfly Challenge which is 'F for Flowers' and the Seize the Birthday 'Anything Goes' challenge.

Card blank: 6" x 4" white silk 
Dies: Memory Box 'Grand Happy Birthday' and 'Pippi Butterfly'
Card: White silk card
Paper: Purple floral paper
Other: Wink of Stella

I used white silk card to cut my two dies.  The card blank was covered with purple floral paper before the 'happy birthday' was attached to the bottom of the card.   I curled the butterfly wings and attached them to the card before adding a Wink of Stella to the bodies.
