Seize the Birthday # 230 Embossing

Hello and welcome to another great challenge here at Seize the Birthday!  Barbara here, and I am your hostess for this challenge. 

    Our "Topping" option this time is...


There are so many ways to emboss. There is dry embossing. (embossing folder) 
Heat embossing with powder. Embossing of your sentiment. 
If you cannot think of a way, just go to Jennifer McGuire on Youtube and type in Embossing.  There are a ton of ideas there. I sure hope that you use the topping on your card. 

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!

Winners #229-Blue and Gray

Hello, Colleen here, and I am back today with our winners from our last challenge.  Thanks to all the participants that joined us and especially those that chose to play along with my topping, I appreciate that. 

I would like to take a minute and do a refresh of our selection process.  
The Design Team member that selected the topping for the challenge is the DT member that will also choose the winners.  We will have 2 overall challenge winners, one using the topping and one without. The remaining 3 Birthday Honours can be any combination of topping or no topping birthday cards.  For example; 2 with toppings and 1 without or 1 with a topping and 2 without. All entries that appear not to be Birthday cards, will unfortunately be disregarded. 

I hope that clarifies it for our Newest followers and our Newest participants! 

Now let's go see who the winners are! 

Congratulations!

 Kath, your butterfly is stunning! I love your selective
embossing in the middle of the card!

Seize the Birthday #229- Blue and Gray

Happy New Year!
 Welcome to the first challenge of 2022!  We hope you had a wonderful Holiday Season and are ready to start creating again and building up your stash of Birthday cards! Before I get to our topping, I am pleased to announce to you our new Surprise Party Guest for the next two months...


Here is a little bit about her! 

I’m Vicky aka Crafting Clare, which is the nickname my daughter used to tease me with whenever I got my inks and stamps out! I live in a small market town in the heart of England in the UK. Before having my family, I was a graphic designer, and when the kids grew older (I must’ve blinked!) I discovered the fun of stamping at a Stampin’ Up party. I was a demo for 5 years but now I create for the sheer pleasure of it and love thinking up new things to do with my stash. When I’m not crafting, I’m usually careering about the countryside with my sweet golden retriever Eva and her pals.


    Our "Topping" option this time that was selected by Colleen is... 


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!
