Happy Birthday and Peace on Earth



I used the colors at this week's Color Throwdown #413 to make a masculine themed birthday card using my new PTI Fancy Foliage dies and a sentiment from Hero Arts Chalkboard Birthday.



I am also entering this card at Just Us Girls #363: Leaves, The Male Room #45: Leaves and or Trees and Seize the Birthday: Anything Goes.






Make it Monday #263 is all about using die cut frames on a card.  I used die cuts from the Embroidered Borders frames, stamped with Fairy Dust ink on my holiday card.  I was so excited to pull out my new  Winter Village stamps and dies to create my little scene.  While I had my Misti set up for all the little stamps in this set, I stamped several extra bits that I hope to use on some more cards before long.


I am entering this card at Addicted to Stamps and More #214: Clean and Simple and Christmas Card Challenges #43 (I am doing the anything goes part).





Thanks for Visiting

  30. This card is crazy cool Joyce. All those die cut must have taken forever and what a fabulous way to the autumn theme. This card is so well balanced and clean it would be hard to accomplish; at least in my craft room.. Great job I love it and I want to thank you for joining us at TMR.
    Cyber Hugs,
