Emily's Surprise 16th Birthday Blog Hop - 12/18

Welcome to Emily's Surprise 

"16th" Birthday Blog Hop

Hi friends!! Thank you for joining us today as we celebrate Emily's recent Sweet 16th Birthday! Shh, it's a surprise so don't tell her!! We're so thankful you've joined us to celebrate the sixteenth birthday of a fun loving young lady. She will be blessed by your participation, designs and comments. 

Join some of my great design team friends (past & present) as we celebrate my daughter's recent "Sweet Sixteen". We've all designed cards or a Birthday project and sent them on to Emily for her to celebrate her special day! 

Here's my Birthday design:

Outside of Card 

Inside of Card

I decided to make a layered card for Emily as she really liked one of the cards recently made for a Christmas Design Team challenge.  It was a layered card with a window view.

She kept asking me to give it to her for her Birthday, so I figured this would be a winner.  I made sure to include some of her favorite colors and bling too.  The inside sentiment is from "Good Times " from Cardz TV Stamps.

Cardz TV Card Designers Challenge # 7 "Christmas"

If you're looking for my Guest Designer post for The 12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop ~ Day#4 (11/27/15) click here!

Wow, where has there year gone?  It seems like school was just starting and we were beginning our fall DT schedule, instead we are finishing up the year with our Christmas card and we'll soon be coming into the New Year!  

So, join us this month here at Cardz TV as we make Christmas cards for December.  Oh the things you can include on your cards:  trees, angels, snowflakes, stars, holy, ornaments....  Where are you going to begin with and what are you going use?

*Remember to enter our challenge for a chance to be a winner of Mary's awesome stamp sets, chosen by random. org.

Here is my design:

Outside of Card

Inside of Card

For today's challenge I made this Christmas window card.  I started with my base card a red cardstock.  Next, I added a light blue piece of cardstock for my background and white pieces for my window cut-out and the following accent pieces for the window, small snowflakes, greeting and an piece for the greeting inside the card.  I used brown cardstock for the tree and a darker red for the little bird sitting in the tree.

I really like this card and know someone special who will enjoy receiving it in the coming weeks.  It has been nice making cards with you this past design session.  May you and your family have a blessed Christmas and a Happy New Year!

I used Cardz TV sentiments from the "Tiny Tidings and Christmas Joy" stamp sets!

and

These are the stamp sets I used.  

They are available from Cardz TV
