Card Concept #6 - Create a Birthday Card






Yes...you're pretty much seeing double here.....if you're comparing my BIL's Winnipeg Jets themed card with this card!

The previous card was actually the ''copy-cat" as this card was completed first but couldn't be published until the this challenge went live!

Isn't this the coolest cake ever? And how about those yummy colors? Yep, fabulous. This cake has a little bit of everything going on - moss, mushrooms, wood grain, lace, pretty flowers...quite the mix that is sure to inspire some interesting creations!

My card was quick and easy peasy! A few strips cut from colors inspired by the flowers on the cake, some scored lines for definition and a Silhouette sentiment. I popped up the design panel using 3D foam dots.

And YAY...we had another huge turnout for the last challenge...it is SOOO exciting! I've met so many nice people in my travels through blog land and look forward to stopping by for another visit! Thank you all so much for embracing our challenge so enthusiastically!

Here's the link to the next CCC challenge. Hope to see you there :)

I'm also linking my card up to this week's challenge at Seize the Birthday challenge which offers an option of adding stitching to your card. There are tons of cards in  the gallery...why not join in the fun?

Happy crafting!

    I thought I'd seen it before! Love it in these colours - fresh and springy (still waiting for spring here in Toronto!) The little details of the weave and the scored lines give this a real WOW factor!

    Okay, if I tried to cut those sweet, dainty strips, there is NO WAY they would turn out looking like that. Crooked, uneven, warped, yup - that's what mine would look like!! But YOURS, total perfection!! Add to that the scoring, the weave...I am in awe again!!!

    Hi, Geri. I got to know about your blog with Anita's birthday party and I liked your card for her so much that I had a little tour of your blog. I so liked what I saw that I have decided to start following you by e-mail. So I'll be a regular visitor now!
    Your card is absolutely stunning - the bright colours is beautiful and I love the scorelines you've added - it's all done so neatly!! This is really a great design - LOVE it!!!
    Greetings from Africa and have a lovely day!!!

    Oh dear me...I'm behind again...So sorry. I did recognize the design right away, and love it in these colors. It's such a great design; why mess with its delicious perfection?! It would work well at Christmas, Easter, Halloween...well, you get the idea! Such a great card, and I do hope to play along! Will get to an email soon. Bev

    Playing catch up, Geri ... sorry for the delay! You know I completely love this ... the crisp clean lines, the precise embossing, the touch of texture, the stunning colour combo ... and the cool, cool weaving ... I love how you did that! Awesome graphicicity (I made that word up!)! Anita :)

    Joining the crowd playing catch-up (I'm just the slow-pokiest, slow poke of late!)...apologies! The first version of this card was amazing, and this second version is equally as fabulous! The strips of coloured paper (I'm in awe of your straight-ness!), nestled in the score lines are so eye-catching, as is the angled sentiment. I'll echo Anita's assessment and new vocab for today: awesome graphicicity! Aiming to get a note sent soon...Spring Break begins today! Yayyyyy....Hugs~c

    Outstanding design, Geri! The scoring adds soooo much and was the perfect way to add a polished look to the card. Amazing!
