Tim Holtz Happy Birthday




Hi all! Welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge!

This week we are inviting you to our 13th Birthday Party! 


Happy Birthday!


Can you believe that this challenge has been going for 13 years! We're teenagers! The time has flown by hasn’t it! We would like to say a huge thank you to all of our fellow crafters who have joined us over the years and we hope you will continue to join us.

As it’s the first Monday of the month we are showcasing a brand/company. This week we are all using some fabulous from ALL & Create. You don’t have to use them to join in with the challenge but if you have them we would love to see them used.
 
As it's our birthday the lovely folks over at Simon Says Stamp have generously increased the prize this week to a FABULOUS $50 voucher to shop at the  Simon Says Stamp Store! All you have to do is take out your crafty supplies, make something following this week’s prompt, and add a link in the Inlinkz at the bottom of this post! You can join 5 times so you could have 5 chances to win! How AWESOME is that!! All winners are chosen randomly, so everyone has an equal chance to win! Woo Hoo!! Good Luck to everyone! 



Please pop by the challenge blog to see what our lovely guest, Carrie Swift aka redfire_studios and the DT have made :-)

I made a card using a fabulous Tim Holtz Celebrate Colorize Die Set! There are lots of dies in this set, a cake, birthday hat etc, but I chose to use the gift and balloons.



For the background I used Brush Arch and Brush Hex Layering Stencils along with Mustard Seed and Lost Shadow Distress Oxide Inks. She splattered with Funky Fuchsia and Lemon Zest Ink Sprays and added some Simon Says Stamp Glitter Cardstock confetti. She finished with a couple of strips of Washi Tape and a Tiny Type Number 13.


I also made this card using an ALL & Create Flourish stamp, designed by Tracy Tracy Evans, which is no longer available in the store, but it is very similar to these Border Stamps 



Thanks for looking :-)

Hi Lorraine, These are two fun slimline cards. I have to say I'm used to seeing Tim Holtz inspired creations in earth tones. Your birthday card is so bright, so colorful, so full of joy. Wow! Thanks so much for sharing your birthday card with us at Send a Smile 4 Kids... and an extra shout out for your use of washi tape. It is a perfect finishing touch.
