Hello! We've got a new theme for you over at Seize The Birthday - Stripe It Up! I love this Fluff Your Tutu stamp from Technique Junkies, and it's perfect for this challenge.
Pop along to the Seize The Birthday blog for some more fabulous stripe inspiration from the rest of the team, and from our surprise party Guest, Deepti, then play along with us. If adding stripes isn't your thing, you can still play along with our Anything Goes theme, as long as it's birthday-related.
Hello, got some STAMPlorations Tuesday inspiration for you!
I found this background in my stash - Distress Oxides over the Droplets stencil. I love the feel of sponged oxides, so soft. I turned it upside down because - well, just because. The CUTplorations Bloomdala Bliss mandala makes a perfect doily for the sundae and macaron from Sugar Rush and the cup from Sketchy Coffee Cups.

Hello, we've got a new challenge for you today at Seize The Birthday - Green and White, chosen by JoAnn.
I stamped my image from a set by Stamps By Me, added some highlights with Bundled Sage and Mowed Lawn, then added a smooshy background with diluted Mowed Lawn. Can't remember whose sentiment it is, as I made the card a few weeks ago and didn't make a note of it!
Pop on over to the Seize The Birthday blog for some more fabulous green and white inspiration from my teamies, and our surprise party guest, Deepti, and play along with us. If green and white isn't your thing, you can always play along with our Anything Goes, as long as it's a birthday project.
Hello, and welcome to a new Seize the Birthday challenge! It's Glenda's turn to choose the topping, and she's gone for ocean creatures.
I went for a Jane Davenport mermaid swimming happily with some Hero Arts jellyfish (rather her than me!). The printed polka dot sentiment disc is from my stash. The mermaid die set comes in separate parts for you to assemble, so I used brads to attach it, then left the arms and tail free so that they could be moved.
If ocean creatures aren't your thing, you can still play along with us with any birthday-themed project. Pop on over to the Seize The Birthday blog to see what my teamies and our surprise birthday guest, Deepti, have created, then join in the fun. See you in the gallery!
Hello! It's Day 2 of STAMPlorations special release of snarky quotes from the Queen of Snark herself, Chris Dring. Today's set is called, appropriately enough, Some Snark.
I've used an ATC from Retro People, sloshed some colour on it and added the snarky quote, cut into strips.
This next quote cracks me up, I love its charm :) And I'm really good at it :) :)
Again, an ATC from Retro People, a bit of colour sloshing and a stapled quote.
Pop on over to the STAMPlorations blog for some fabulous inspiration from Chris and the rest of the Inspiration Team, and don't forget to leave a quote for your chance to win this fun set. The sets are on pre-order here until 15 March.
Hello! We've got a special release for you at STAMPlorations over the next two days from our newest designer, Queen of Snark, Chris Dring!
Chris has come up with these two fabulous snarky sets, and today we're focusing on Hot Mess (we can all identify, right?!). The quotes are perfect for using with the ATCs colourables.
My next card uses another Retro Fashionista and the Rolls stencil.
Hello! As part of the Seize The Birthday Team, we've been invited by Colour Hues to create blue and yellow cards to show support for Ukraine during this awful time. The national flower of Ukraine is the sunflower and, although these flowers are officially daisies, they're near enough for me. The flowers are Altenew, the sentiment is STAMPlorations. The background is a representation of the Ukraine national flag.
Pop on over to the Colour Hues blog for more support for Ukraine in the form of cards. I'm off now to offer more support by donating clothing, bedding, towels, toiletries, sanitary items (imagine having your period and not having access to tampons etc!), baby formula and nappies (again, imagine not having formula or clean nappies for your baby!).
Let's hope peace is restored as soon as possible.
Hello! Got some Tuesday Inspiration for you over at STAMPlorations, pretty quick and easy. I'd made a stripy background using Distress Inks and the Plaid Maker stencil so I put it to good use with City Girl. I just sloshed a bit of colour on her raincoat then fussy cut her and mounted her onto the stencilled background.
