Seize the Birthday: Red, White & Blue Topping

Hi Friends!  I'm posting a card today for the current Seize the Birthday Challenge.  It is always birthday themed but they include a little extra topping if you'd like to add to your project.  The current topping is, appropriately, Red, White & Blue:

On a Neenah Solar White card base, I added some fun 'Party Fans' from Catherine Pooler's latest collection.  I stamped them with Stampin' Up inks and die cut with the matching dies.  Some are popped up for dimension and of course we had to add some confetti to the birthday party.  I added a few SOL enamel dots to the fans and finished the card with the "Cheers to More Years" sentiment (MFT) on the inside.

I hope you had a safe and sane 4th and thanks for stopping by!

Hugs,

Annie

The Card Concept #135 {Red, White & Blue}

Hi Friends! The latest challenge over at The Card Concept has a great photo for inspiration for a Red, White & Blue theme:

I was inspired to use the supplies I already had on my desk to create this card and just switched up the ink colors to red, white & blue and included silver for the galvanized pots.  My clean and simple one layer card for a patriotic celebration is below:

One thing about this stay at home adventure is that I have pulled things out of my stash that I haven't used in a long time or maybe never used (oops).  The Wreath Turnabout from Concord & 9th was one of the latter and I had fun playing with it.  I used Catherine Pooler's Rockin' Red and Suede Shoes ink, plus Hero Arts' Unicorn ink (white heat embossed), and very old PKGlitz glittery Silver EP Max (heat embossed) for the fourth color.  The sentiment is from Concord & 9th's Little Thoughts dies. I finished the card off with silver confetti sequins from Simon Says Stamp.

Thanks for stopping by ~ Have a great weekend!

Hugs,

Annie
