The Birthday Project - Up, Up, and Away

Despite different backgrounds, beliefs, and traditions, one thing we share that unites us and is worth celebrating is the birthday of friends and family. Recognizing the special day of someone you love with a handcrafted card straight from the heart is always a good idea and if stocking your stash with unique birthday designs is on the agenda, have we got the perfect challenge for you! 

Our monthly Birthday Project challenge features ideas for getting creative with your birthday card making. Our team is excited to share their ideas, and we’re ALL excited to see how the challenges inspire you!

Few things say “birthday” like a beautiful bouquet of balloons. For this month’s challenge, focus on a single bobbing balloon or cover your card in copious amounts of colorful images or die cuts.
 

A cow floating through the sky on a string of balloons is sure to brighten anyone's day! Francine created a billowy backdrop of clouds and added her focal images with foam adhesive for some added dimension. We love how she stamped her sentiment onto her puffy clouds to complete her greeting.

Julie created a trio of cross-stitched balloons on her card and framed them up perfectly with the Blueprints 32 Die-namics. The stitching adds a handmade feel to the card that any recipient would love and appreciate!

Wednesday Sketch Challenge - Sketch 372

Welcome to another weekly Sketch Challenge!
 
Turn each inspiring sketch into a mini work of art to add to your stash — you could also add $50 worth of brand new MFT to your collection! Now that is a win-win.
 

Below you'll find Sketch 372. Create cards, scrapbook layouts, home decor, treat containers, mixed media, etc. using this week's sketch and be sure to link your project below for a chance at the weekly My Favorite Things Gift Voucher.

MFT products are encouraged, but not required. We just want to see what this week’s sketch inspires you to create! You can enter your cards for this week's challenge in the Inlinkz Link Up at the bottom of this post.

We're welcoming  Vanessa Menhorn back to the Challenge blog today with her take on this week's sketch.

Vanessa created a jungle party on her card complete with rocking safari animals and a fun, bright colorful combination. She kept her design similar to the sketch with her main images and sentiment panel stretching across the card front.

Karolyn created a stamped forest across her card front, providing a vibrant landscape for her adorable town bear. The addition of twine adds dimension to her card while grounding her scene on her white backdrop.

A serene scene complete with a family of swans works beautifully for this week's sketch. Vika added just the right amount of color to complement the softness of her design while still making a bold statement.

Congratulations, Sundaystamper! You are the randomly selected winner of last week’s sketch challenge.
