SEIZE THE BIRTHDAY ~ SPLATTERS by Glenda

Hi friends!  Today it is all about "splatters" on our birthday cards for Seize the Birthday.

Glenda is the lead on this challenge!

I used the same fun SSS Party Balloons embossing folder that I used in January, this time I ink blended some greens and blues on my card before embossing it. This particular ef comes with one balloon die, so I cut out a couple of balloons and strategically placed them over 2 balloons.   I added some Twisted Crepe dies from the Greetery cut with gold mirror paper and the sentiment is a PTI DIE.  I splattered with gold ink to tie it all in.  

I think this card is fun and festive!

So the challenge is to use splatters on your birthday card, that is the "topping", if you don't want to use the topping, then you are free to make any kind of birthday card and still play along with us!

See you in the gallery! 

And please check out the design team with all their fun inspiring splatters!

Our Special Party Guest for the next two months is Deborah Wheeler

SEIZE THE BIRTHDAY ~ wet or dry embossing by Cathy

Welcome to the first challenge for SEIZE THE BIRTHDAY for a NEW YEAR friends!

Happy 2024!!

Cathy is our host and is asking us to do dry or wet embossing on our birthday cards!

So many fun embossing folders out there and especially new 3-D ones!

This card was inspired by one made by iminhaven she used the same SSS party balloons folder but a different sentiment die.  I loved it!  I bought this folder because it had balloons on it and so I knew it would be used a lot, then I saw the card by Lisa on IG and knew I wanted to try my hand at it!

My sentiment die is from GinaK: birthday with a shadow die

I used a variety of bling from Pinkfresh.

I really love all the white space and the simplicity of this card design, thank you Lisa (even though you don't know me) for the inspiration!

Friends, I hope to see you in this new year with more birthday cards and this time find a new or old embossing folder and join our challenge.

 

As always the design team has more cards to inspire you, you can always make any kind of birthday card if you don't want to use the topping of "wet or dry embossing".! 

And we have THREE SPECIAL GUESTS WITH US who have fantastic inspiration for you as well!
