Masculine Birthday Card with Fusion Card Challenge Sketch and Seize the Birthday

 I really liked the simplicity of the current Fusion Card Challenge Sketch so I combined it with Aurora Paper, Sage Card Stock, Sapphire Ink, Sentiments by Melissa Esplin stamp and Stitched Together Cardmaking and Thin Cuts.  This was a really quick card to make!

Here is the fabulous Fusion Card Challenge sketch that inspired my card layout:

My choice of background paper was influenced by this Seize the Birthday graphic:

If you don't look at the balloons or pastel colors this graphic reminds me of a nebula or galaxy drawing so I took out the Aurora paper for the background.

I'm also entering this card into the following challenges:

     Dragonfly Dreams--Birthday

     Incy Wincy Designs--Funny or Let's Celebrate

     

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a wonderful week filled with fun and creativity!

Julep Glitter Birthday Card With Sunday Stamps Sketch #26

This fortnight's sketch at Sunday Stamps really appealed to me and I was glad to find the time to create this glittery birthday card.

I've had this Julep Glitter Paper in my stash for almost a year as it was the CTMH color of the year.  The plaid paper is Timber and the fancy diecut is from Stitched Together Cardmaking and Thin Cut Dies.  "Birthday" was stamped with Julep Ink.  The background paper is Colonial White (retired CTMH).

I rotated the sketch 90 degrees so that the Happy die cut would fit in the sketch.  Here is the fabulous Sunday Stamps sketch:

I'm also entering this card into the following challenges:

     Seize the Birthday--option tic-tac-toe

     Little Red Wagon #561--Happy Days

     Simon Says Monday Challenge--Happy Birthday

     Creative Knockouts--Sparkle and Shine

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a wonderful week filled with fun and creativity!
