Other - SSS sentiment strips
Host Mary Gunn had Michelle Lupton (@mllupton73) as her guest. Michelle moderates the Hero Arts Stay Crafty with a Blog Named Hero, among many other things. The crafty wheel was spun 4 times for the parameters to use:
- Project - Celebration Card: I made a Birthday card & included "celebration" inside and out.
- Colors - On the Ground: I used green (grass), brown (dirt) & orange (fall leaves).
- Element - Goes Well Together: Flowers and leaves go together.
- Random - Block(s): My background is blocks of patterned paper.
I trimmed 2 pieces of patterned paper to A2 size. Added the dotted to an A2 card base. I cut the second piece into 4ths and used two of them over top of the dotted. Die cut and assembled the flower then added to the card with some foliage left from a previous card. Printed sentiment strips finished the card. Want to play along? Check it out HERE.
I'll add my card to Seize the Birthday #315 using the Anything Goes Option. Oh & by the way, I was excited to see my strawberry basket card get honorable mention in their previous challenge!
Next, I made a flowery card with the new Birch Press Block Print Tapestry Blooms set that just came in the mail:
Simply die cut 4 stems and a bunch of flowers, then assembled. Added them to an A2 card with a printed sentiment strip from Simon Says Stamp. Finished with some SSS starshine dots. Very quick and easy! I'll add this to Darnell's October NBUS Challenge #79 since my blooms are new.

Wonderful set of cards using those pretty BPD dies, Linda!!
Working with die cuts is always a bit time-consuming, but it's worth it, as you can see from your two beautiful cards.
Two fabulous cards, Linda! I like your pretty orange bloom on the first one!
Both are wonderful. Your backgrounds and colors work well together!
Pretty floral twofers. Awesome CR card as always.
The cosmos is a beautiful die and made for such a lovely BD card! The Block Print die gives a unique look for a cheerful card!
