Celebrate You Today

Celebrate You Today - what a great greeting for birthday, 4th of July or just to wish someone a wonderful day. 

The base card is red with a dark blue mat.  I masked the white card piece and sponged red and blue stripes (rays?).  Then I die cut three circle scribbles (Papertrey Ink) and tacked them to the white piece.    I love these little scribbles - they add a lot of fun and dimension to a card and they can be made from scrap paper pieces!

Take care,

A Bright and Cheery Happy Birthday

Happy Monday!  The other day I received via snail mail the elements for making a card as part of a card swap.  I should have taken a picture, sorry.  The elements were a piece of white card stock stamped with what looks like orange slices in four different colors.  Kind of different and unique.  I'll have to ask her if she made a stamp or used an actual orange?  Another element was a piece of yellow/orange watercolor and the third element was stamped slice of orange.  I did not use the last element - just could not work that in.  

Fortunately, I had orange and green card stock that I used as the card bases.   Stamped Happy Birthday on the watercolor piece and rounded one corner just for a different effect.  Then I added a bow made of multicolored rafia for the final touch.

I love making birthday cards and this one is just so colorful and I know who will be receiving this cheery card for her birthday!

Have a great week!

Wishing you... Sunshine

This stamp is one of my favorites:  Wishing you a day bright with sunshine!  What a great message for a birthday or just to let someone know you are thinking of them.

And one of my favorite dies is this sunflower.  Love sunflowers!  So the two of them together along with yellow, blue and green make this card one of my all time favorites!   ;'))

I'll be posting this card to Seize the Birthday Challenge - Summertime

Happy Thursday,
Kathy
