Kaleidoscope of birthday colors!

Good Morning, friends!

 I'm getting a late start to my crafting/blogging today

 but I'm here! :)

 

I love color ♥

The brighter, more vibrant and bold, the better! 

To me, bright colors are cheerful and happy

 and really make for a wonderful surprise in crafting

 ~ those POPS of color!

I've committed to making a birthday card every Monday in March

 with a stamp from The Project Bin!

Today, I have 2 cards to share 

and I've used the stamp set Born Yesterday.

  It's always fun to find new ways to get creative with card making.

For today's set of cards, I went on a treasure hunt through my supplies

and spotted my alcohol inks and yupo paper.

Perfect!

I created a variety of backgrounds in various colors

 and just let the inks do as they wished.

I am IN LOVE with how these came out!

It's a fun technique and with this creative process, 

you probably won't get the same look twice!

 

Here are the two completed cards using the stamped sentiments

in a creative way to showcase both the paper and the stamp. 

This is how they came out:

 

   

Card #1 

And card #2! 

 Once the background pieces are dry (I always leave mine overnight),

it's time to assemble.

I picked two backgrounds at random 

and added them to the stamped sentiments from Born Yesterday.

These are stamped with Momento Tuxedo black ink. 

These colors just make me smile!

 March is bursting with birthdays in our family - and extended family - 

so it's nice to have some on hand ...

ready to go!

You can find this stamp set that I've used in the shop

We also have an inspiration blog that you can see each week day ...

and there's a brand new stamp set about to be released that is just DARLING!

Keep watching! ♥

Thanks for stopping by!

Big hugs, bigger blessings ♥

Someone I love ....

Good Morning, friends!

It's Monday - hard to believe as the weekend just flew by for us.

I think I blinked on Friday and then it was Sunday :)

Now here we are,  looking at another week ahead that is bursting at the seams!

But Monday's are fun as it's the day I post

 on the inspiration blog over at The Project Bin.
That's what I love so much about the stamp sets at TPB -
birthday cards are easy to create and cater when needed for a special occasion.

Today's card is using Born Yesterday ↓

I know many of my cards are very biright and bold,

as bursts of color just spell cheerful to me :)

However, one of my goals this year was to use as MANY papers

 in the 6 x 6 paper stacks that I have accumlated.

I have sooooo many with loose papers or pieces left,

 so I create a lot of cards, like this one,

using the smaller pieces that are already on my desk or the 'use me!" bin :)

Thanks for stopping by today!

Big hugs, bigger blessings!

I remembered your birthday ...

Hello, friends 

and happy Friday!

 

We have a jam packed, fun filled weekend ahead,

getting in some last minute fun before school starts again.

Can't believe the summer has flown by so fast 

and school will be here in a couple of weeks.

I'm.  Not.  Ready!!

Today's card is one that was so wonderful to work on,

using the "Born Yesterday" stamp set from

The Project Bin Stamps,

What a fun and oh so true sentiment! :)

I remembered your birthday,

without looking on Facebook! :)

And I share with you with certainty ....

the stamps from The Project Bin Stamps are unbelievable!

They stamp crisp and clean right out of the gate - 

making your stamping sentiments a super time with creativity!

They hold both bold black ink colors superbly

as well as bright colors to give your cards a pop!

Give them a try!

You can find this set and many more in the store ◄

Big hugs, Bigger Blessings!

Inspired by the Sea ♥

Good Morning, friends!

What a gorgeous weekend at the ocean ~

sand in our toes, salt water breezes, great surf and gorgeous weather :)

And WAY too much food!

I'm truly blessed to live here in South Florida, surrounded by the sea ♥

We did have some unexpected excitement while swimming ~

a shark fin popping out of the water about 30' away. Yikes!

I also managed to slice my foot on something sharp, most likely coral rock.

Now that we're home, my foot is propped up ...

perfect for stamping! 

 Today's card...

I.  love.  this.  card!

It was inspired by the sea and my love of all things nautical ♥

The ocean is my happy place!

The stamp is from The Project Bin Stamps

using the new A Way With Words "Born Yesterday" stamp set.

So many fabulous stamps for birthdays in this set.

It's stamped in Momento Tuxedo Black - but how pretty this would be

stamped in ocean colors or even a beautiful Kraft or Crumb Cake :)

I added a few flower, buttons, some interloped twine

and this card came together beautifully.

 

 Stop on over and see all the new release The Project Bin Stamps,

including the new Christmas stamps to get a jump start on holiday cards.

WAVE-ing to you all and sending

Big hugs, bigger Blessings!
