Happy Birthday - to us!!!

Hello everyone,

This is a very exciting post for us as it's our 2nd birthday.  So our challenge this game will be a birthday theme.  

AAA Cards Birthday Bloghop

Here are all of our amazing sponsors for our birthday hop. 

There are so many ways to win these super duper prizes.  

One fun way is treasure hunt!  See below for details.

Treasure Hunt Clue!

One way to win is to answer each DT's question we have on our blog and all you have to do is comment with the answer for each of us to win our prize.  

My question to you is:

I love CELEBRATING birthdays because there is always cake and ice cream.  What kind of cake do you like and why? 

Leave your answer in the comment section on this post for a change to win a goodie bag from me!

Now on with my card.

I added a bit of Rose Quartz ink to the lower corner of my card base to start.  Then I die cut the word Happy from Winnie & Walter and the Rose from Paper Smooches out of white card stock.  I added Wink of Stella to the rose and adhered it directly to the base and I popped up the Happy die cut with foam tape.  I stamped the Birthday sentiment in the same Rose Quartz ink from the That is All stamp set from WPlus9. 

Now it's time to go hop along with the other DT members.  You will not be disappointed with all the amazing creations with lots of inspiration.

Stamping Smiles Designs Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge 7

Hello everyone,

We are back with Stamping Smiles Designs Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge 7.

My choice is DECORATIVE FRAMES/HATS/KRAFT

I have to admit that I started this card about 5 times. I know when I first started card making, I couldn't understand how the pro's could get those videos done in one shot or how on earth do they get all those cards done so fast.  But then I started to realize that it's not always easy for them either.  The reason I say this is to encourage you to keep going when you feel like you just can't do it all.  We ALL have our days and this was one for me but I got though it.

I started out with the crown instead of a hat because don't we all have a crown?  I coloured those in with R000 and R20 then added the stickles as the gems.

I took the frame die and cut out a wood-like patterned paper and popped it up with foam tape to frame the crown.  I then took the Fabulous die and cut that out of kraft paper and glued it down with Tombo mono.  I stamped the YOU ARE with Memento and added in the sequins.  I added the stickles to the middle of the sequins for interest.   

I am also adding this to the Simon Says Stamp Work It Wednesday - Anything Goes.

Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to link up your projects, we love to see what you create.

BRI - Happy Birthday Card Share

Hi everyone,

I'm here with the last post for March.  I can't believe that April is here already!  I'm certainly not complaining, I can't wait to see the buds on the trees and the birds are already back signing their lovely morning songs.

My card today was actually put together mostly with dies that were already cut and just sitting on my desk waiting to be turned into a card.  All except the happy birthday sentiment, I die cut those several times to give it the chipboard look.  And absolutely no stamping.

I used the WPlus9 Sunshine Layers Dies to create the frame and I popped that up on foam tape.  I used the rose from Paper Smooches as well as the Lawn Fawn scripty happy birthday die. 

For the back panel I used a We R Memory Keepers Next Level embossing folders and I have to say these are SO COOL!!!  I used the Quilted set and I can't get enough.  I used a 5.5 x 4.25 panel and embossed it and used Tombo Mono Multi glue to adhere it to the base as well as the rose and happy birthday die cuts.

That's it for me today.  Be sure to stop by the BRI Shop as there are more products than ever before!

Thanks for stoping by!

Paper Smooches sympathy card

Hi everyone,

I'm here playing along with the Paper Smooches Sparks Anything Goes challenge.

Here is my card.  I cut out the flowers and leaves from white 110# card stock and used my copics to colour them in.  I embossed a card stock panel with a small dot embossing folder and cut a circle out of the top middle.  I created a shaker with it and popped it up and added some purple, white and clear sequins along with some shaped glitter.

I stamped the hearts in the background with the ones from the Graceful Beauties set and stamped it with Hero Arts ink and used first and second generation stamping for the background to give it some interest. 

I added a piece of acetate to the back of the panel and loaded in the sequins and glitters and then placed the back panel and that created the shaker.  I then placed the flower and leaved on the top panel, stamped my sentiment on a banner die cut with Versafine and popped it up on some foam tape as well. 

I then added some adhesive to the back and glued it to the purple panel that was cut out from a WPlus9 die and then it all went on an A2 sized card base.

Wishing You the Happiest Birthday!

Hi everyone,

I'm back with a card from the Simon Says June Card kit.  It came with some rainbow washi tape and it looks so pretty on white paper.  I taped three strips diagonally across the front panel.

I used the Wishing die from the Wishing and Sending die set that matches the stamp set.  I cut it out a few times from white card stock and glued them all together with liquid glue.
I had some colour swatches from Home Depot that my kids love to hoard whenever we go so I thought I would put them to good use!  I took the Paper Smooches Butterfly Duet dies and placed the die with each wing having a different shade of blue and they match the washi tape!

I stamped the sentiment from the Wishing and Sending stamps set in Memento Onyx black and used my corner chomper to round out two of the corners to give it some interest as I couldn't make up my mind of how to embellish the card.  I finally popped up the panel with foam tape onto an A2 sized card base.
