This month I am honored to be the Seize the Birthday's Surprise Party Guest. Come join us to fill your stash of birthday cards. The team has some awesome cards as inspiration.
First card, I sponged Distress Ink Oxides on the cardstock and then die cut this PTI Paper Clippings Birthday.
I used Nuvo Glitter Drops on the balloons.
Balloons
This is a second one that I sponged a Chevron stencil on cardstock and then cut out the die cut.
You can see it better in real life than in the picture. Used Glossy Accents for the balloons.
Thanks for stopping by.
Glad to have you as our guest Linda. Love your sponged die cut in the orange shades, very pretty.
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy your time as GDT! Your cards are lovely, Jo x
ReplyDeleteWell you're a perfect party guest, Linda! I love your glossy balloons on both of your cards!
ReplyDeleteSuper fun die cut. Sure makes for an easy card :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your GD spot Lin and I love your cards!! Your first one with all the blending is absolutely FABULOUS and goes perfectly with that die cut! How did I never end up with that die??!! Love your 2nd card too with the stenciling over it! Isn't it time for another triplet update yet?? I know they just had their birthday in March, but I could look at pictures of them every day they are SOOOO cute!! :0)
ReplyDeleteThese are so fun Linda! Yout ink blending looks perfect on the first card and the chevron design on the second is such a great idea. Congrats on your guest design spot! Yes, another update would be lovely!!

ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Lin! You have a birthday party on a card here! Actually two parties! Can't wait to see how you blend so well!
ReplyDeleteWelcome Lin! Loved reading your intro to your blog. Don't you love being a grandma almost as much as being a crafter? We Live in Wisconsin but winter in Florida and I have had the pleasure to visit with Nancy every year and Now we have included our hubbies. I too have met so many lovely friends and I love only 40 minutes drive from Gina K designs.
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing how different both of your cards are and both are a great design. Happy to have you here with us for the next two months. Looking forward to seeing more of your craft.
