Colors of Spring Blog Hop

Ok, so it's still my birthday month and my actual birthday today as I am writing this, so I finished off the month with one last birthday card.  I used My Digital Studio's color combo selector to find a spring palette and this is what it came up with:

I have to smile when I see this card, only because it speaks truth!  I think only one candle will suffice from know on--we don't need to get the fire extinguisher out in order to put out the flames!

I used Tempting Turquoise, Lucky Limeade, Daffodil Delight, and Whisper White cardstock; Lucky Limeade ruffled ribbon; Sycamore Street DSP; Tempting Turquoise classic ink pad, Daffodil Delight and Lucky Limeade markers; Dazzling Details glitter; clear embossing powder; Oval Framelits; Color spritzer.  Our new classic ink pads are so juicy that you can literally pour embossing powder on the dye ink and heat it. You will get the same look as if you used pigment inks.

I have to thank all of you who have sent, texted, emailed and called with your birthday wishes, they were all wonderful!  I've had a wonderful birthday!

Make sure to visit all the other blog hoppers, and please leave comments so we know that you enjoy it!

Birthday Card, take 4

We're counting down to the end of February...well at least I am, because that is my birthday!  And no, I was not close to being a leap year baby, the year I was born wasn't even a leap year.  I seem to get that question a lot!  So today I'm posting a fun card made with the darling Sycamore Street Designer Series Paper that you can get for FREE with a qualifying Sale-a-Bration order ($50).  I LOVE these colors together!  They are so YUMMY!  I used the new Best of Birthday 25th Anniversary set that will be available until March 2014, so there's plenty of time, but you might want to get each of the "Best Of" stamp sets that will be rolled out each month, so keep your eyes open for all the cuteness.  I used the Big Shot to emboss the Perfect Polka Dots and the Peekaboo Frames Bigz L die for the frame (I cut off the little "door" that is on the front of the frame).  To top it off, used my blender pen to add a bit of color to the stamp and tied a ribbon with Crumb Cake seam binding.  You can find all of these items on my website.

It's pretty windy here in Vegas today. But the high is going to be in the 60's! YAY!
Hope your day is happy!

More Best of Birthdays

Here's the second card made with the limited edition Best of Birthdays stamp set!  This is a small 3 x 3 card done on Crumb Cake and Real Red cardstock with white embossing powder and some white gel pen stitching.  I stamped the gift and sentiment in white craft ink and embossed in white embossing powder, layered the Crumb Cake and crumbled the top layer and distressed the edges.  On a scrap piece of Real Red cardstock, I embossed and then cut out the image and glued it on the Crumb Cake.  Just a fun pop of color on a little note card!  This is still available along with the Best of Love stamp set for February.  If you are interested in hosting a workshop, I would be happy to work with you to tailor a workshop to fit with the needs of your friends and family.

Lots of birthdays to celebrate this month!
