colourful candles

This week at Seize the Birthday, Colleen has chosen the theme candles. I don't have a lot of options for candles in my stash so I decided to make my own with some washi tape. The flames were made by inking up some paper with distress oxides and then die cut with the drops from this die set.  Really happy with how this turned out - I credit my local crafty friends (J & D) with suggesting that I layer the flames.

Be sure to check out the rest of the creative creations from the rest of the team and our Surprise Party Guests. Hope you can join us!

Thanks for stopping by and have a terrific day.

Hope you're having a great day crafty friends.  Spring seems to be arriving so that puts a big smile on my face.  This week at Seize the Birthday, we are highlighting teal as our topping/option.  This is not a colour I normally use so it was a bit of a challenge.  Stayed pretty simple and I like how it turned out.

All the details for playing along is on the blog.  Our Surprise Party Guest for the next couple of months is Kim Lackenbach.  Be sure to give her, and the rest of the DT, some crafty love.

Always appreciate your comments! Thanks for stopping by.

Losing the layers

Happy Thursday crafty friends! We are doing one layer cards over at Seize the Birthday this week.  I love making single layer cards and I think I've 'mostly' accomplished this with this card.  Does my birthday pop-up count as a layer?  I'm considering it a 'pseudo' layer - haha.  I was inspired by this Christmas tag that I made.

Hope you can play along with us!  Check out the details on the blog and give the DT and Kristie some crafty love!

Playing with washi II

I couldn't resist making another tag today for Tracey's 25 Days of Christmas Tags.  This one is inspired by one of the Concorde & 9th tags from day 14. I again using my new gift - the happy happy happy set from Lawn Fawn (as well as their snowflake dies).

I have a busy few days coming up but hopefully I'll get to make a few more tags.

Thanks for stopping by!  Always appreciate it :).

Playing with washi

Today's tag for Tracey's 25 days of Christmas Tags is inspired Kimber's cool tag on day 17. A friend sent me this Lawn Fawn set & dies as a gift so couldn't resist using it.

I really like how this turned out and think I might do some 'mass production' of this one. Plus it's a great way to use up some of the masses of washi tape I have.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Happy Thanksgiving to my American friends!  Have a great weekend.

Tag - you're it!

Hope you are having a terrific Thursday so far!  Spring is in full swing here and I am loving the sunshine and warmth... had a gloriously relaxing long weekend this past weekend.  Needed to destress for a few days... back at it soon enough.

Time for another Seize the Birthday challenge and it is a 'free' week (no topping/option).  I've been using the tag topper punch from Stampin' Up a lot lately - it's really fun.  :)  I also must confess that I made this card quite a while ago and have no idea where that piece of distressed blue paper came from (oops!).

The DT did a fabulous job again this week so be sure to check out the blog to give them some love and find out all the details on how to play.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Have a great day and a wonderful weekend.
