Birthday Sundaes #49: Numbers!

 Hi Everyone!

It's time for a new challenge at Birthday Sundaes! This week we're challenging you to create a card incoporating NUMBERS! It can be a shaped card or you can use numbers as a background, etc. - the possibilities are endless!

Check out my card!

supplies: CS: yellow (Recollections, Bazzill), white (Neenah), turquoise (SU!); DP: DCWV; digi stamp: C.C. Designs (All That Scraps); sentiment: My Favorite Things; Petite Oval & Scalloped Petite Oval Nestabilities (Spellbinders); Copics, Corner punch

I'm really trying to push myself to use more of my DCWV stacks that I get from Michaels - you know, the ones that go on sale every other week for about $10? I have a handful of them and while I KNOW I won't use them all, they're really handy for mini-books and even fun cards like this one! I love how things are matchy-matchy (hello, Virgo! haha) and I think this card really did come out perfect. :)

I really do hope you get a chance to play along with us this week. Our sponsor is our fabulous Kristie and she's offering up a very sweet prize: BIRTHDAY MAE FROM SOME ODD GIRL!

This will also be our very last challenge for Birthday Sundaes for an indefinite amount of time. A special thank you to our wonderful sponsors, my fellow wonderful and absolutely wonderful design team members, and finally for Kristie, for taking a chance on a girl like me. This has been one of my very favorite DTs to be on and it's because of you, Amber, and everyone else. Thank you for everything!

Birthday Sundaes #48: Animals!

Hi All!

It's time for another Birthday Sundaes Challenge! This week's challenge is to create a birthday card with a birthday sentiment that includes an animal!

Here's my card this week:

supplies: CS: kraft (Paper Accents), Solar White (Neenah); DP: My Mind's Eye; stamps: bees (C.C. Designs), sentiment (Pink By Design); Copic Markers, Stickles, Twine

I've had these adorable little bee stamps for a while and can you believe I've never used them on a card? I found a sentiment stamp in my stash that I knew would be perfect. What do you think?

I hope you get a chance to play along with us this week! We're being sponsored by Just Wordz and there's a prize to be won!

Have a wonderful week! :)

Here's my card using the adorable Birthday Cake Cocoa:

Birthday Sundaes #45: Get Messy!

Hi All!

It's time for another challenge at Birthday Sundaes! This week we're challenging you to create a birthday card using paint, Glimmer Mist, inks, etc. - anything that will make you GET MESSY!

Here's my card:

supplies: CS: kraft (Paper Accents); DP: Basic Grey; image: C.C. Designs (All That Scraps); ink: Tuxedo Black (Memento), Basic Black (SU!); sentiment: Paper Smooches; other: mini brads, Glimmer Mist, Copic Markers

Ok, this was DEFINITELY a challenge for me. I'm not good with getting messy and it's really a creative reach for me to splatter some Glimmer Mist on my card! *lol* No seriously, it IS! I don't know what it is, but me and my embossing heat tool don't get along. I hate the clean-up of my workspace when I'm finished. and I just don't feel like I'm doing it all right! *lol*

But I really did have a great time with this challenge this week! Yay for challenges pushing our creative limits!

Hope you get a chance to play along with us this week!

This week's sponsor is Couture Stamping by Candice Fields, an independent CTMH consultant and a former Birthday Sundaes DT Member! Candice is giving away the CTMH Fashionista stamp set, shown below.  Candice is also offering Birthday Sundaes fans a 10% discount during this challenge.

Thanks so much for stopping by! I'll be back in a few with another Getting Cricky Simply Sunday Challenge!

Birthday Sundaes Challenge #44: Create a STEP Birthday Card!

 Hi All!

It's time for a new challenge at Birthday Sundaes! This week we're challenging you to create a STEP card - side step, center step, stair step, etc.! The possibilities are endless! :)

Just in case you don't know how to create one, here are some links to a few tutorials!

http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/StairStepfold/
http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/centerstepcard/
http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/sidestepcard/

And this week, we're sponsored by Stamp Fairy:

So for my card today, I created my favorite fold - the center step card. :)

supplies: CS: orange (PaperTrey Ink), kraft (Paper Accents); DP: Basic Grey; image: Sassy Suzi (The Greeting Farm); sentiment: Paper Smooches; ink: Tuxedo Black (Memento), Chocolate Chip (SU!); ribbon (SU!); petite oval & petite scallop oval Nestabilities (Spellbinders); Copic Markers, mini brads

Pardon the extra stuff around my card - for some reason, my card kept slipping open! So frustrating!

Anyway, I decided to share this card featuring an image from The Greeting Farm. My mistake - I misplaced my Stamp Fairy images! :( But I wanted to share a center step card with you anyway - you all know it's one of my favorite folds! :)

I hope you get a chance to play along with us at Birthday Sundaes! The prize this week is a $10 gift certificate to Stamp Fairy! Good luck and can't wait to see what you create!

Birthday Sundaes #43: Inspiration Pic!

Hi All!

It's time for another Birthday Sundaes Challenge! This week's challenge is an Inspiration Picture:

(photo credit: http://www.mysweetandsaucy.com/2011/02/valentines-day-treats/)

Cute, right?

Here's my take on it:

(supplies: CS: kraft (Paper Accents); DP: Basic Grey; stamp: Birthday Anya 2 (The Greeting Farm); sentiment: Birthday, Birthday (Pink By Design); ink: Tuxedo Black (Memento); Star Dust Stickles (Ranger); nestbilities (Spellbinders); bling (Recollections); flowers (I Am Roses)

This week's challenge is not only based off the Inspiration Picture but you have to use a heart on your birthday card!

I blinged up Birthday Anya 2's heart topper on her cupcake and I used my circle heart nestabilities frame too! I pushed myself to add some I Am Roses flowers - I always forget! All in all, I think it's a simple, yet fabulous, card! :)

Linking up to:

All That Scraps - Anything Goes Challenge
Simon Says Stamp - Love is In the Air: It's not a Valentine's Card, but it's certainly full of hearts! :)

Hope you all get a chance to play along with us this week at Birthday Sundaes! Check out the blog for more inspiration! :)

Birthday Sundaes Challenge #42: Birthday Card with a Birthday Sentiment!

Hi all!

Is everyone ready for SUPERBOWL SUNDAY???! I don't know about you, but it's one of my favorite days of the year - a day when I can try out some yummy recipes on my friends and family. Snack food, guilt-ridden food, and just plain DELICIOUS FOOD! :)

This day would have been even sweeter if THE NINERS BEAT THE GIANTS TWO WEEKS AGO... *sigh* but I digress....

Anyway, thanks for stopping by my blog today! It's time for a new Birthday Sundaes Challenge and it's everyone's favorite: Create a Birthday Card with a Birthday Sentiment!

This week we're sponsored by Karen's Doodles:

And here's my card using one a Karen's Doodles image:

supplies: CS: Whisper White (SU!), Solar White (Neenah), pink (Recollections); DP: Echo Park; digi stamp: Fairy Princess (Karen's Doodles); sentiment: "happy" - In the Family set (K Andrew Designs), "birthday" - Coffee & Tea For You (K Andrew Designs); ink: Tuxedo Black (Memento); twine (The Twinery); Nestabilities (Spellbinders); bling: k.i. memories; oval punch (SU!); Diamond Dust Stickles (Ranger); Copic Markers

For my card this week I used an oldie image from Karen's Doodles, but I think it really is ADORABLE don't you? I added a bit of Stickles to her wings (you can't really tell from the picture - sorry!) and I added a little bling to her wand. Super fun! :)

The sentiment is a combo of sentiments from two K Andrew Designs sets (click on the images below for more info!):

 

 

Anyway, thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you get a chance to play along with us at Birthday Sundaes! One lucky winner of the challenge this week will get to choose 3 digis from Karen's Doodles! Good Luck! :)

Birthday Sundaes #41 - Easel Birthday Card!

Good Morning!

It's time for another challenge at Birthday Sundaes! This week we're challenging you to create an EASEL Birthday Card!

Now if you don't know how, there are a bunch of tutorials out there to create this fancy fold. Here's one at SplitCoast Stampers...

Here's my card for this week:

supplies: CS: Red, green (Bazzill), White (Neenah); DP: Echo Park; digi stamp: Tiddly Inks; Birthday sentiment: Taylored Expressions; inside greeting sentiment: My Favorite Things; ink: Tuxedo Black (Memento), Black Soot (Ranger); label punch (EK Success); stamp border die (My Favorite Things); stickles, copic markers

Would you believe me if I told you that this card was made with another image I had colored but never used on a card? Thankfully, I found it - it fits my card perfectly!

And for some reason, I don't "do" the easel fold very often when I make cards - but this challenge really pushed me and now I'm convinced I need to do it more often! :)

Hope you enjoyed my card today. I hope you get a chance to play along with us this week at Birthday Sundaes! We can't wait to see what you do with the EASEL FOLD!

Thanks for stopping by! Have a fabulous day! :)

 

Birthday Sundaes #40: Birthday Card w/ a Birthday Sentiment!

Good Morning!

It's time for another fabulous challenge from Birthday Sundaes! :) This week's challenge is to create a Birthday Card with a Birthday Sentiment and it's sponsored by the awesome MelJen's Designs!

Here is my card for the week!

(supplies:CS: White (Neenah), Very Vanilla (SU!), Navy (Recollections); DP: October Afternoon; digi stamp: Robbie the Robot (MelJen's Designs); sentiment: SU!; ink: Tuxedo Black (SU!) Modern Label Punch (SU!); Twine: Whisker Graphics)

For my card today I was inspired to color up the adorable Robbie the Robot! I kind of played around with the colors and love how he turned out! The sentiment is from an old SU! set - Lots of Bots, I think, but I'm not sure. I really love how it says "Happy Birthday, Human." *lol*

Hope you all get a chance to play with us this week at Birthday Sundaes! We can't wait to see what you come up with!

Thanks for stopping by today!
