Hello my crafty friends! As host of this week's Seize the Birthday challenge I have the honor of choosing our newest Topping.
As is probably the case with many of us, my card designs rather of ebb and flow with my moods. Right now I am finding that the majority of my cards are predominantly created with die cuts. Most of the time I incorporate a stamped sentiment but otherwise the elements are die cuts rather than traditional the stamping/coloring techniques. My challenge to you all is to create a card devoid of any stamping....INCLUDING the SENTIMENTS.
My example:

Look Mom! No Stamping!
I once again dove into my NBUS bin and dusted off two "new to me" products for today's card. My elements were die cut from colored cardstock scraps. The sentiment is stacked three high and the arch is popped up from the front panel. I added a trio of confetti dots to finish off the design.
Supplies:
Erin Lee Creative - Hand Torn Arches die set
Pinkfresh Studio - A Bow for Any Reason die set (NBUS)
MFT - Happy Birthday die
Sizziz - Festive Sky Party die set (balloons) (NBUS)
I invite you to visit our blog for my fabulous die cut inspiration from my fellow teammates. I would love it if you tried your hand at my Topping however if die cutting isn't your thing, any birthday card is eligible for a spot in our gallery.
Thanks so much for visiting!

Thanks for this fun challenge Jules. I love using dies. Your card looks great with the die cut balloons and the colors.
ReplyDeleteI love the colours and the pretty design! This is a fun topping!
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree and my cards have lots of dies in them too. I think the trend of cardmaking has changed a bit. Thanks for this challenge which gave me permission not to stamp. Your die cut balloons and the bow and sentiment are a fun example that you don't need to stamp a card. Good job!
ReplyDeleteJules, this was indeed a challenge for me. Love your die cut balloons and birthday sentiment. Perfect for the challenge. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteVery fun! Loved this challenge too
ReplyDeleteI loved this challenge, Jules! Your card is all kinds of fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI also love diecuts, keep buying stamps too though! Great design with the balloons behind the arch, and thankyou for the fun challenge, Cathy x
ReplyDeleteGreat Topping, Jules and such a wonderful card. The color combo on the balloons is awesome together. Look at you using a dark purple. The gallery should be full, hopefully!
ReplyDeleteAbsoluty gorgeous card congrats 😊💐 happy day
ReplyDeleteThank you for such a fun challenge! Your balloons (one of which is not purple) are so great and I love the arched die. The tan background is perfect with those gorgeous bold balloons.
ReplyDeleteFab stampless card, Jules! Love the colour coordination.
ReplyDeleteGreat challenge theme, gave me a chance to iron 🤣
