#152 Winter Birthday

I am sure we all know some poor soul who has a Winter, or even worse a Christmas Birthday, mine is 27th December! So for our challenge this time we want to see your Winter Birthday creations.

Josephine is hosting this one and will get to choose our Winner/Top 5

Here is how the team interpreted the theme

Josephine

For this challenge, I've made a card for a friend who's got a December birthday. She loves Josephine Wall images, and so I framed one in Photoshop Elements and added a sentiment. I designed the paper using tones from the image, and finished the card with some lace and glitter.

Ina

I used a pre coloured digi set from Doodle Pantry for my Winter Birthday Card.

 Maike

I used the "Cool Day" stamp set from My Favorite Things for my Winter Birthday Card! The inside says "Have a cool day" to tie it all in together! 

Mary

I used a Lacy Sunshine digital stamp and using a Spellbinders die, a Darice embossing folder and Tatted Lace dies created an archway through which it can be seen. 

Marlene

Here are the close up Photos

I have used a Square Concertina Die from Crafter's Companion with Border Die - Candy Canes and Freebie Stamps from Craft Magazine

Kimx

I have used a Woodware stamp, white embossing and some cool blues
for my Winter Birthday card. 

Lin

My Winter Birthday card has a spellbinders embossing folder for the background, a couple of wintry diecuts and an image from a free stamp.

Pam

 I made this card for my daughter who was born during one of the worst winter's in Ohio history.  This cute image is Valerie in Winter by Mo Manning.

Julie

I have used Hunkydory Festive Birds Of Britain.

Bec

I have used these cute little snowmen to make a winter birthday card complete with snowflakes.

Sally

For my Winter themed Birthday card I used some stamps, dies and stencils from my stash, a cool colour scheme and lots of snowflakes.

Jackie

I made a shaker card for my wintery birthday card this time, using cooler tones in the distress inks to make my background and a simple silhouette stamp for my winter trees.

Josephine

A fairly simple card from me - using a stamp set from a recent magazine and some Sizzix Susan's Garden dies.

Ina

I used the Poppy Die from Memory Box for Remembrance Day and in memory of a friend who served in Vietnam.

Mary

I used a Tatty Twinkle stamp called Just for you and added a thank you peel off to the tag.

Pam

This adorable little image is "Fore You" by Di's Digistamps. This is a very special thank you to the owners of a golf course that my mom and dad were members of for many years.

Marlene

I made this card using a Pink Gem Image. I made this as it is Remembrance Sunday next weekend coloured it with Promarkers

Jenn

I created using kraft cardstock and colored Kaisercraft papers and added a house mouse stamp hand water colored by me and fussy cut

Bec

Bold and bright with this Shine Bright range from Kaisercraft.

Sally

I have used a cutting file from the Silhouette store, Distress Inks, Acrylic paint, a stencil, paper flowers and Hobby Art Butterfly stamps to create my Thank You card.

Kimx

I made my Thank You card using a couple of lovely Hero Arts background stamps and the 'Resist with a Twist' technique.

Maike

I love the critters from Purple Onion Designs and wanted to create a simple card with Cedar the fox that lets the sentiment shine.
