Hello, and welcome to the first Seize The Birthday challenge of 2026! Barbara is hosting, and she's asking us to make our own snowflake backgrounds.

I rollered an embossing folder with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide then added my card panel and sent it through my Big Shot. The cat and his accessories are by Tim Holtz, and the Happy Birthday is from The Stamp Market.
Pop along to the Seize The Birthday blog for some more fabulous snowflake inspiration from the rest of the team, and our Surprise Party Guests, Helen and Stephanie, and join in the fun. If you don't want to play along with the snowflakes theme you can still play along with our Anything Goes them as long as it's birthday-related.

Shirley, such a pretty snowflake background. And that styling cat is too cute. Awesome card. Hope you had a great Holiday.
ReplyDeleteI totally love this cool cat birthday card, Shirley! Well done!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun card Shirley. That cat is definitely dressed to party, even if it is snowing with that lovely snowflake background.

Your cat is so cool Shirley! Even the balloons tied to his tail don't faze him lol! Love how the inked embossing turned out showcasing the snowflakes, Cathy x
