School Daze Birthday ~ STB11 & FM103

 

Todays card takes in Seize the Birthday #11 (Masculine) & The Friday Mashup #103.

 

The Friday Mashup is honoring tax time so we are to use lined or gridded paper and mash it up with some distressing.  The interpretation for the Seize the Birthday sketch could go in any direction....I love that!  I chose to go with the Chalkboard Technique again, which I love!  I think this is what is called subway art, a mix of different fonts and images.  I really like how it turned out!  I had a fun time going through all my stamps to choose diffent birthday images.

  I chose to play off the colors in the notebook paper, which is from the retired Just Add Cake designer paper pack. 

 

 

The Happy Birthday script at the bottom right is from On Your Birthday.

 

Here's a list of my supplies.....

Stamps: So Happy For You, Word Play, Birthday Bakery, Carry On, On Your Birthday

Paper: Marina Mist, Real Red, Basic Black, Just Add Cake DP

Ink: White Craft, Black

Accessories: Corduroy Button, White Colored Pencil

Cupcake Calm - NAC3, PP104, & JAI127

Today's card comes by way of Nacho Average Challenge #3, Just Add Ink #127, & The Paper Players 104.  I'm a little to late for the party over at The Paper Players, but oh well!

I used the sketch from NAC3, the color combo from JAI127 (which I added Melon Mambo as my 3rd color), main element from PP104 which challenged us to use words as the main element and keep the project clean and simple.  CAS is a hard concept for me.  I've mentioned this before and I know I'll never be one of those girls that can stamp on element on a white card and call it good.  I need to have some sort of embellishment and some color.  This is about at CAS as I get and with that I still needed to add a little glitter to the cupcake. 

This card could totally be for someone who is having one of those milestone birthdays.  I just celebrated my 40th and I know I would have loved to receive one like this!  As a matter of fact, my SIL gave me this stamp set for my birthday! 

Here's a list of supplies I used on this card.....

Stamps: Carry On

Paper: Whisper White, Black, Black and Melon Mambo DP

Ink: Black, Melon Mambo and Crumb Cake

Accessories: Big Designer button, Black Bakers Twine, Top Note die, Dazzling Diamonds glitter
