Seize the Birthday #330-One or More Numbers

Hello Crafters, it's Cathy here and I'm hosting this fortnight's challenge with a numbers theme. You can use one or more, whether stamped, die-cut, stenciled, or embossed, and just have fun with it!

Before we get to the fabulous inspiration below, we have a new Surprise Party Guest joining us for the next two months.  I would like to welcome Lynda from Looopy Loo Cards! Lynda, we are happy you are here.  

Lynda-Loopy Loo Cards

Here is a bit about her! 

I have been making cards for quite a few years and have dabbled in most techniques, but find that my current loves are die-cutting and embossing folders. I am recently retired after over 40 years on the NHS, and have no trouble filling in my days. I am excited and happy to be the Surprise Party Guest for the next couple of months, and excited to see what you all create with the upcoming themes.

We also have Fran Wing joining us as she was the overall winner from our last challenge using the Topping.  Welcome to you, Fran! We are glad to have you! 

Now, let's go see what the team and our guests did with this great Topping!

If you're not a toppings kinda person, well...you can just
stick with our usual "Anything Goes" Birthday!

The choice is yours!

Just remember to keep it a Birthday Theme!

Seize the Birthday #329-Blue, Pink and Yellow

Hello Crafters, Barb here, and it is my turn to be the host for this next challenge here at Seize the Birthday. We have a topping for you to use, but if you would rather just make a birthday-themed card, that will work as well. 

For my challenge, I have picked the colors of Blue, Pink, and Yellow. You can do a pale or more dramatic look with brighter colors, but you must use all three colors.  You can include the neutrals, like black and white, but NO gold or silver for this one. 

   

Before I go, I would like to take a moment and thank Kathy P for being with us the past two months as our Surprise Party Guest.  We have certainly enjoyed our time with you and hope you have enjoyed yourself too!  Take care and hope to see you in the gallery soon. 

Now, let's go see what the team has made for us! 

Our "Topping" option this time is...

Winner's Post #328-Vellum and or Acetate

Hello, Ashwini here to announce the winners for my 'Use Vellum or Acetate' challenge. Honestly, I didn't think so many of you would include the topping this time, but I had an amazing time looking at the gallery with so many different ways of using vellum and acetate!  There were so many lovely cards with the 'Anything goes' option too. 

Thank you, everyone, for joining and making the party so much fun!

Without further ado, here are the winners -

Congratulations!

Seize the Birthday #328-Use Vellum or Acetate

Hello Crafters, Ashwini here as your hostess for this challenge. I have chosen the topping to 'Use Vellum or Acetate Sheets'.  I am not sure there is a crafter out there who doesn't have one of these products just waiting to be used.  Of course, we still have our 'Anything Goes' as an option, if you prefer!

Before we get to the amazing cards below, we also have an additional Surprise Party Guest, Kerry P, with us today.  Kerry was the overall winner of our previous challenge using our Topping. Welcome, Kerry! We are all happy to have you with us!
