Seize the Birthday Challenge - Food

 

Such an array of images come to mind!  That said, I went with cherries.  I missed buying any this season, so creating some... yep, that works for me.

I started with an inked embossing folder, and ran it through my cutter for some fun added texture.

I stamped this image [from Flourishes - OOB], water colored it (so not me!), and fussy cut it out. 

I adhered all to the card base, and added a self made sentiment for the final step.

Your turn!  Come on over to the Seize the Birthday Challenge and play along.  While food is the option, being a birthday card is not.  Have fun~

Flourisheslc Share

I have recently stepped down from the Flourisheslc Team.  That said, I didn't want to waste sharing my final card with you all.

A couple of weeks ago a fellow stamper, Hazel, from My Card Attic, made these adorable 2.5 x 3.5 mini notebooks.  [You can see the video HERE on how to make these super fun books.]  I used the Christmastime Authentique Designer Paper [carried in the Flourisheslc store], to make my books. 

You can see my Color Made Easy Burgundy Ribbon on the stand up card, and I also used Angelic Love [gold foiled leftover], and one of the extra images from Harp on my 3rd [shaker] book.  These  were so fun [and easy] to make.  They are going to make great gifts too!

I hope you try to make a few of these fun, adorable books!  They are so cute IRL~ :)

A Fun New Feature

Flourisheslc, effective today, will be running a weekly hop with the Designers.  We will be challenging each other with some type of theme.  I am the Hostess this week, and I have challenged the Team to add gold to their card.

Here is a sneak peek of my card.  Because I am the Hostess this week, I am going to direct you over to the Flourisheslc Blog for the completed photos, links to the products I used to make this card, and the list of Designers for you to visit for more fabulous eye candy.

Have fun!!

Flourishes Day

It's my day over on the Flourishes blog.

For my card today, I went basic black & white, but instead of stamping the image on the top of the card cover, I stamped the inside with the adorable image from Kid's Play.  When the recipient opens the card, they still have the fun image. I am also entering this over at Stamp, Paper, Ink #57 - B&W.

Here is the entire set. 

REMEMBER; Almost all of the stamp sets are on sale through July 31st! 
Check out the Flourishes Store, and see what you need. :)

Flourishes Day

It's time again for another Flourishes Day here on my blog, and over on the Flourishes Blog.

For today's card, I used Winter Berries.  I colored the image with my Zig water colors. I do like how easy these are to use, and yes, I intentionally, partially painted them. [I like that look].  My sentiment is gold embossed.

Here is the set in its entirety;
