Seize The Birthday - Stencilling
Yay, I'm hosting Seize The Birthday for this challenge, and I've gone for Stencilling. You can stencil however you like - a whole background or just add it as a highlight to a particular area, entirely up to you.
For my card I've used the Count Me In stencil from Visible Image, along with Queen Girl from Unity.
Pop on over to the Seize The Birthday blog for some more fabulous inspiration from the Design Team and our Surprise Party Guests, and play along. If you don't want to include stencilling, you can still play along with our Anything Goes option.

Seize The Birthday - Layer It
Hello peeps, it's time for a new challenge at Seize The Birthday, and our leader Nancy has chosen 'Layer It'. If you're not sure how to interpret it, she has a few suggestions for you in her intro.
I wanted to use this new-to-me stamp set from Concord & 9th, Here's The Scoop. I stamped the bowl, cherry and ice cream scoops onto patterned paper, cut them, then layered them onto a linen-look panel which I'd die-cut with a Penny Black die. I stamped and fussy cut the sentiment for the bowl and layered that on, then layered the whole thing onto my base card.
The ice cream scoop paper has gold veining, which doesn't show up on the photo, and the cherry is glazed, which also doesn't show up on the photo.
Pop on over to the Seize The Birthday blog for some more fabulous inspiration from the team, and from our surprise party guests, Leslie and Nance.
If you don't want to use layering, you can still play along with any birthday-themed project.
Happy stamping!

Seize The Birthday - Milestone
Hello! We've got a new challenge for you at Seize The Birthday today - Milestone, hosted by Jenny.
I'm telling myself that 70 is the new 60 ;)
I used this fab stamp and coordinating die set from Concord & 9th called Happy Headlines, and once I'd set the main stamp up on my MISTI, I stamped a few out so that I've got them ready to customise. The numbers on this card are Memory Box Parker dies.
Pop on over to the Seize The Birthday blog for some more fabulous inspiration from the rest of the design team and from our Surpise Party Guests, and join in the fun. If you don't want to make a milestone birthday card, you can always play along with our Anything Goes theme.
Happy stamping!
