 Here is my project- 

 

I saw a gallery wall someone made out of sentiments. And I liked it so much I borrowed the idea for this card! I couldn't choose just one sentiment. You can visit me here for the materials list.

Make sure to enter for a chance at that great prize! 

Show of Support with My Favorite Things

It's Sue here. It's sad to see paper-crafting businesses closing. My Favorite Things has been around for some time. I have many of their stamps, stencils and dies. However, I admit that I haven't been shopping there recently. There just is so much competition for my crafty dollars. They are hosting our July challenge here and will be giving our winner a $25 gift card. Thank you My Favorite Things - not just for your generosity but also for being part of the paper-crafting landscape for many years. 

Our July challenge is BIRTHDAY CARDS.

Here's my card

For my card, I used My Favorite Things' Square Extraordinaire stencil (retired) where I ink blended a light blue square using tumbled glass distress ink on a white A2 card panel. I stamped the sentiment using My Favorite Things' Celebrate You (retired) and Gina K Design's Soft Stone ink. I die cut some flowers, leaves, stems from white cardstock using My Favorite Things' Show of Support dies. I used mini ink blending brushes and distress inks (ripe persimmon, picked raspberry, peacock feathers, wilted violet, mowed lawn, mustard seed) to add color to the die cuts. I arranged them on the card panel and glued them in place. To complete my card, I adhered the panel to a white A2 card base with double-sided tape.

We'd love to see your birthday card creations in our gallery this month.

Rainbow colored birthday card

 Hi,

Cindy here to share another card for this month's challenge theme: Birthday.

I had fun die cutting the scallop pieces in rainbow colors.  I aligned them and adhere on a top fold white card base.  The sentiment I used is from another company, but My Favorite Things (our July sponsor) has plenty birthday sentiment stamps and dies, like these: Raise a Glass, Bright and Happy Birthday, Not-So-Basic Happy Birthday Die-namics, Not-So-Basic Happy Birthday, ...etc.

My Favorite Things is giving a $25 gift card to their store as challenge prize.

So go ahead and make birthday cards with die cut and/or dry embossing and join in the challenge.  Click the 'Monthly Challenge' button on the right side bar to go to the link up post.
