Happy Birthday in blue

A winner at Seize the Birthday

This is a card combining two stamps - one is from Stampin' Up, 'BIRTHDAY', which I have a little more than a year, and the other, 'happy', is from SimonSays Stamps, which I have for ages, many many years.

I like the way the liitle' happy' stamping is overlapping the big' BIRTHDAY' one, and I like the ombre in the blues. 

I used Lindy's embossing powder in silver to create the two lines, framing the sentiment, and matted the panel on a black cardstock.

The card is for some challenges:

The Paper People #617- color challenge: blue, silver and blak & white:

This color combination is so perfect for a masculine card, and everyone need more of these.

Forever Fabulous - a CAS card

 A CAS card, in fall colors.

I was inspired by the colors from Color Throwdown #718 , beautiful fall colors - dark red, gray, yellow and rust:

I stamped the 'splatters' in gray, and the leaves in dark red, yellow and rust (SU stamps). The leaves were die cut and adhered on top of the splatters.

The sentiment is Altenew, and I also stampes some tiny leaves around it.

Double matting, in red and gold.

I followed the sketch from CAS Colours & Sketches #495:

Get Well, We Love you - a cas pink card

 I made this card using only solid cardstocks, in pink tones and white.

It's a 'Get Well' card, and the sentiment, a sticker, says, in Hebrew: 'Speedy Recovery, We love you!'.

I really like the bandais I've created, using embossing folder and punches.

Diagonal cards - one dp two version

 

One of the Top Cups

at Sunday Stamps

I made two quick cards, with a diagonal design, using only one dp, but using both sides of the paper.

It's from an old Simple Stories collecion, Vintage Bliss, that I have had for ages, and I thought it's time to go back and use some of my old stash.

On both cards I added thin solid cardstock stripes, flower stickers from the collection, and sentiment stickers, which say in Hebrew: "Quick Recovery".

One card is horizontal, while the other is vertical. O both cards I added some glitter enemal dots. I think they're adding a lovely final touch to the cards.

Stacked rectangles - a get well card

 A masculine 'Get Well' card I made, using stacked triangels dies set.

I die cut 3 different sizes of triangels, from 6 solid cardstocks - 3 in blue tones and 3 in brown/earthly tones.

I then stacked the triangles one on the other, to one of the angles, mixing the colors.

I adhered the stacked triangles in a hexagon shape on a very pale blue cardstock, and added two layers of cardstock behind, so it will be raised a little.

The sentiment says in Hebrew: 'Feel better and a quick recovery'.

I made a simple knot from a twine and adhered it between the sentiment and the hexagon. It looks to me as it it's kind of mustache :).

The whole panel was adhered to a kraft basis.

It goes for these challenges:

Speedy Recovery card - CTD meets FMS

 A card I made for two challenges:

Color Throwdown #717 - pink, mustard and green:

At first, this color combination was quite a challenge for me, but then I went for a flowery theme, and it came very easily. In the photo, the 3 small flowers looks a little orange, but IRL thery're much more yellowish than in the photo.

Freshly Made Sektches #560 - a lovely sketch. The circle can be replaced by any shape:

I added the thin strip of mustrad plaid between the two rectangles, as I felt that on my card, the gap really needed it.

The sentiment is a sticker, and it says, in Hebrew: "Always keep your smile, Speedy recovery".

A 'Get Well Soon' card, in warm colors

Honorable Mention at Fusion

On a local FB group, we make and donate cards for a hospital. Usually, there's no limitaion on the sentiment, but this time we were asked to make 'Get Well' cards. 

I used the sketch, only the sketch, from Fusion Card Challenges:

I wanted my card to be with a warm scene, so I stamped the brush strokes in an orange palette. I then stamped over the brush strokes a sketched flower, tied a twine and added a few golden sequins. The sentiment is a sticker.

I was also inspired by the orange/brown cupcakes photo at Cupcake Inspiration:

Only Solid Cardstock - Thankful

 

A CAS card, using scraps of solid cardstock, the same colors I used my previous card.

I simply adhered thin stripes of solid cardstocks to a white one, I cut a piece and then run the 'new paper' throw my Big Shot with a piercing die.

From the pierced one, I die cut the feathers and the flower frame. From the other piece I just cut two stipes, and matted them with white cardstock.

I punched a burst flower, adhered it to the center of the flower frame, and added two tiny cardstock dots.

The sentiment was die cut twice from a golden cardstock, and I embellished with 3 tiny cardstock dots.

I really love the outcome, and the fact that a CAS card can also be very colorful and even vibrant.
