CCMC356, Seize The Birthday and Our Balcony ~ GREAT Combo!

The BEST afternoon ever ~ sitting on our balcony and creating ~ talk about relaxing! I found these   challenges at Create With Connie & Mary & Seize The Birthday ~ and so I got right to work!


 I need a birthday card for my wonderful mother and I'm very pleased with the outcome ~ we will celebrate her 80th birthday this weekend with a surprise Birthday luncheon ~ we have about 100 people coming to celebrate with us ~ I know mom will be blessed ~


And so while I was enjoying my time, I created two more cards!

    I am so sorry I am late with my comments for this challenge! Graduation happened and we had lots of company that stayed into the week after graduation. There was just no time at my computer!

    Love how you used the catalog cover as DSP! I have seen that several times and thought it was so clever! Great use of new stamps as well...very pretty! Thanks for playing the Create with Connie and Mary color challenge this week!

Hello friends and I want to wish you a Blessed Happy New Year!!!  A year filled with love, hope and peace!!! And I want to welcome you here, to the first Technique Tuesday of the year.  The call for this Technique is using the Brayer!  Oh boy, I haven't used my Brayer in years...so here we go!! Did you see this new Embossing Folder?  It's from the new Adoring Hearts Bundle and wow!!! what a Bundle this is, we have the Stamp Set, Embossing Hybrid Folder, and the Dies, that work with the Embossing Folder.  So whenever you have an Embossing Folder, that is Hybrid, well, that means you Die Cut and Emboss at the same time...Easy Peasy and AMAZING!!! So what I did was, with my Blackberry Bliss Stamp Pad, I inked Brayered the inside of the Embossing Folder, then carefully laid the Die into the Embossing Folder, placed a 6" x 6" piece of Basic White CS, into the folder!  Ran that through my Cut & Emboss Machine and voilà Stampin Dimensionals behind these sweet hearts and
