Seize the Birthday #317-Use Christmas Supplies

Hello Crafters, 

Ashwini here, and I am happy to be your hostess today. Since we are approaching the busy Holiday Season and most likely have some Christmas supplies out on our desks, it might be fun to use those supplies to make a birthday card or two. 

*For example, you could mask off a candy cane and change it to a party popper, or use the popular Christmas flower-poinsettias, or perhaps even use a well-known Christmas character. 

I can't wait to see what you come up with! 

  

Before we take a look at the amazing cards below by the Design Team and Guests. I want to thank Johanna for being our honorary guest over the past few months.  Johanna, we have really enjoyed having you in our lineup and hope to see you back in the gallery again soon.  Speaking of guests, we also have Liz joining us today. She was our previous winner using the Topping. Welcome, Liz!

Now, onto the fabulous cards below for some added inspiration! 

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 #316-Favorite Fall Treat

Hello Crafters,

It's Nance, and I'm your hostess for this challenge.  It's my first challenge since joining the STB Team and I'm really excited!  It also happens to be my birthday today.  So a double treat for me. Fall is one of my favorite seasons, and so I chose our Topping theme "Your Favorite Fall Treat".  You can think of a hot beverage, a favorite Halloween candy, a fave Fall pie, a Thanksgiving treat (U.S. and Canada both have Thanksgiving in the Fall), or any treat that you love having in Fall.  

Before I get to the fabulous Fall treats below, along with Joanna, we have Stephanie Severin joining us today as our guest! Welcome, Stef!

    

Our "Topping" option this time is...

If you're not a toppings kinda person, well...you can just
