Seize The Birthday - Make It Pop

 

Hello peeps!  We've got a great challenge for you at Seize The Birthday - Make It Pop!, chosen by Ashwini.

So, how does mine pop, you ask?  Well, the bird is on a slider.

The bird, leaf and flower are from Funky Fossil, the slider die is from MFT, the sentiment is from Altenew (I think), and the background is a print from either a stencil or an embossing folder, which I've had in my stash for ages.  I inlaid the die cutout on the base card before mounting the panel.

Pop on over to the Seize The Birthday blog for some more fabulous inspiration from the team, and from our surprise party guests, and play along with us.  You don't have to use the pop theme, you can play along with any birthday creation.

Seize The Birthday - Wheels

 

Hello, we've got a new challenge for you at Seize The Birthday - Wheels, chosen by Jules.

I used this fab funfair stamp from Picture This, and a cloud stencil for the background.  The sentiment is from Altenew.

We've got some fabulous inspiration for you on the Seize The Birthday blog from the rest of the team, and from our two surprise party guests - pop on over and take a look, then play along with us.  If wheels aren't your thing, you can still play along with any birthday-themed project.

Seize The Birthday - Balloons

 

Hi, we've got a new challenge for you at Seize The Birthday - Vicki's choice of Balloons.  Well, what's a birthday without balloons?  I used Altenew's Balloon Bunch - those suckers are really hard to line up perfectly!

I made another card while I was at it, repeating the sentiments as a background.

Pop on over to the Seize The Birthday blog to see what our surprise party guests and the rest of the team have made, and join in the fun.  If you don't want to use balloons in your creation, you can play along with  our Anything Goes theme as long as it's birthday related.

Seize The Birthday: Alcohol - Inks or Drinks

Hello, it's my turn to host Seize The Birthday challenge, and for the topping I've chosen alcohol.  What will you go for, inks or drinks?  Or both?

This is actually the second card I made for this challenge.  After I'd made the first one, see below, I came across this image already stamped and waiting to be coloured in.  So I did.

Pop on over to the Seize The Birthday challenge blog to see if the rest of the team and our surprise party guests went with inks or drinks, and play along with us.  If the theme doesn't float your boat, you can still play along with any birthday-themed project.

Seize The Birthday - Things In A Garden

 

They're flowers, Jim, but not as we know 'em!

Hello, we've got a new challenge for you at Seize The Birthday - Things In A Garden, chosen by Nancy.  So I did these funky Zinsky Art flowers from PaperArtsy.  The largest one's a bit triffid-like, isn't it?

Pop on over to the Seize The Birthday blog for some more fabulous garden-themed beauties from the rest of the team and our surprise party guests, then play along with us - you can do any birthday-themed project if you don't fancy gardens this week.

Seize The Birthday - Card for a child

It's a new challenge at Seize The Birthday, and Linda has chosen Card for a Child.

The males are always more difficult to make cards for, but this set from Funky Fossil works for children and adults alike these days.

Pop on over to the Seize The Birthday blog to see some more fabulous creations from the STB team and our surprise party guests, and play along with us.  You can always play along with our Anything Goes birthday theme.

Seize The Birthday - Use Red, White + 1 Colour

 

Hey, peeps!  Our new challenge is up at Seize The Birthday, brought to us by JoAnn.  She wants us to use red, white plus one colour.

I went for brown for the chocolate that the little mouse is carrying.  The sentiment die is from MFT and, of course, when you cut it, you're left with either the letters or the negative, depending on how you're going to use it.  I couldn't waste the negative, so I made a companion card.  Love it when you get a twofer!

Pop on over to the Seize The Birthday blog to see what extra colour our guests and the rest of the design team have made, and join in with us.  If you don't want to use red + white + 1, you can always play along with our Anything Goes birthday.
