A Little Birdie Told Me and Happy Birthday



I have two cards to share today.  First up is a card inspired by Jenni's sweet card over at Muse #108.

Jenni's Inspiration Card

I immediately thought of the adorable Happy Birds from WPlus9, and used a color scheme from Just Add Ink #352.



I am also entering this card at Additcted to Stamps and More #234: Clean and Simple and CASual Fridays CFC170: No Dies Allowed.





I am building up my stash of birthday cards with this next card--using a die from Serendipity I just received.  I was inspired by the sketch at CAS(E) This Sketch #214, and the challenge at Less is More #321 to "Use a Frame"


I am also entering this card at Seize the Birthday: Use Black and White and one more color, AAA Cards Game #86: Die Cuts, Simon Says Monday Challenge: Layer it Up, and Simon Says Wednesday Challenge: Use more than 1 die or punch.








Thanks for Visiting

  8. What gorgeous cards, Joyce! Your happy birds are so fun, and you've done a beautifully crisp layout. Loving the fancy swirls and florals of your second card too, very elegant! The overall effect is a little less CAS than it might be for our challenge with the busy background and elements together, but it's a super make. (Remember though that we only allow 5 challenge entries including ours.) Thanks so much for playing along with us at Less is More :)

  9. Striking and beautiful cards Joyce. I always love your designs and seeing how you showcase your stash. Your second card is perhaps a little less CAS than we like at Less is More and AAA Cards but it's so elegant with loads of texture and die-cut elements. Thanks so much for playing along with us at both challenges this week. Sarah x

  16. Those Happy Birds are just so cute, Joyce ... love the playful way the mint one is hanging upside down ... so fun! What a dramatic floral card ... the black leaves against the texture-y white are delicious enough ... with the pop of blue in the frame, the whole card is wow! Hugs, Anita :)
