HQCB #30 Birthday occasion REMINDER post

                          Quick Post Reminder for HQCB #30

The midway point for Heart's Quest Challenge Blog's #30 theme has arrived.

Theme #30 is Birthday with heart/love==>

2 parts:

1. birthday occasion = sentiment and/or related image

AND

2. at least 1 of these: heart shape, the word 'heart', and/or the word 'love'

--------------------------------

more design inspiration from owner Becca:

Bee Happy--Happy Birthday card=



[required #30 theme elements:

birthday= stamped 'happy birthday'

AND

heart/love= 1 heart shape gem]

When I came across this old print cardstock on my craft table, I decided to use it as my inspiration for this reminder card. A bee print burlap scrap, adding a bee trail of dots, and adding the word 'bee' to the happy birthday stamp sentiment were ways to include more bee elements.

(any variation or language equivalent is permitted such as loving, beloved, heartfelt, etc.)

[theme #30 required elements: 
for birthday= cake and candles; 'happy' and 'wishing' in the sentiment; and
for heart/love= 2 peach textured heart shapes]

Diane always has the sweetest images! This little chef is another prime example of delightfully wonderful coloring skills exhibited by Diane! The whimsy charm of 8 layers of cake would be a dream come true for many foodies! Having the hearts match the frosting and the slimline base cardstock is a terrific way to create a superb birthday card!

[theme #30 required elements:
for birthday occasion= cupcakes; sentiment "HB2U"; and
for heart/love= the cupcake paper has little red hearts; love stenciled 3 times]

I've kept the card fairly easy to make once I triple offset stenciled the 'love'. 2 layers are ink and the top/last layer applied was the bold purple acrylic paint. A bit messy but a different way to present how 'love' can be used in a project. Also the lettering and number stickers for the birthday sentiment could have been lost below the stenciling. Outlining the gold glitter stickers with black marker helps define those. The pink with white dot print repeats the sprinkle dots on the cupcakes. Simple yet effective ways to make a cute birthday card!

DT member Willa Jean


[theme #30 required elements: 

for birthday= stamped sentiment

for heart/love = 7 little enamel heart shapes]

Willa's crafted a wonderful springtime birthday card! She's coordinated this very well because the enamel heart shapes echo the floral print colors, and the scrap strip panel's color is the deepest orange tone from the floral print. Well done!

HQCB Reminder Post for Theme #21 use heart/love AND New Years Day or Birthday Occasion

 Heartfelt Greetings to the Midway Reminder Post for Theme #21 at Heart's Quest!

Theme #21 requires:

a. use of heart/love ('heart' shape or word; or word 'love')

AND

b. your choice of either New Year's Day or Birthday occasion

*If you happen to know someone born on January 1st and you want to combine the occasions into 1 project entry that is fine. 

*You may also use both heart shapes with the word 'heart' and/or 'love'; use both words in a phrase, quote, song lyric, etc.

Competition started December 28, 2022 and will end at 12:30am CT/Chicago on January 13, 2023.

*For Design Team inspiration, I've created 2 bookmarks 

HNY = Happy New Year small bookmark


['love' stamp + HNY/Happy New Year alpha tile stickers for theme #21 requirements]  


The gold, amber, and kraft tones contrast with the red, red-purple, and raspberry pink for an interesting combination.

Spider mum stamp is from Hero Arts and love stamp is from Crafter's Choice. Applying gold metallic stamp pad ink to all the paper edges was the most time consuming part of creating this. :)

AND

HB2U = Happy Birthday 2/to U/you bookmark


[3 red glitter heart stickers + HB2U stickers; also celebrating forest friends


Orange, lime green, black, and brownish-gray cording repeat the main colors of the recycled wrapping paper (Brother <3 Sister Design/Hobby Lobby) that are adhered to recycled kraft cardstock packaging (liner/tray for fun size candy bars!!!).


If you need more inspiration, use this link to go back to the December 28 main launch post for Theme #21. The Inlinkz tool address for submitting your project(s) can also be found there.

Design Team Inspiration

1. DT member Willa Jean=


[love word, 3 red hearts + birthday]

Willa Jean's created a very pretty and feminine birthday card! I love her contrast in lots of curved lines (cursive font, flowers, and hearts) versus straight lines (papers and card shape). This is so sweet and delicate!


2. DT member Lori S= Thanks for getting HQCB started with your marvelous layouts and cards! I'm so thankful for the many months you devoted to Heart's Quest. Best wishes for focusing 2023 on personal/family scrapbooks and TN layouts!

3. NEW DT member Diane A will join us on January 14, 2023 

4. HQCB owner Becca S=



[2 light blue and silver mirror foil hearts + birthday]

I've had the heart stickers on a sticker sheet for a long time. It's overdue to get those sheets finished! During a few days of crafting different DT projects with different themes/seasons, I got repetitive with using light blue, white, and silver as the color palette. This is the first one to share with more to be shown during the next 2 weeks. It was refreshing for me in the midst of doing lots of greens and reds on Christmas cards! 

AND

Card #2


[1 silver heart shape + New Year's Day]

Unbelievably this card was made in about 35 minutes! Courtesy of a 2020 pocket calendar that I've upcycled 3 pieces from helped with the quick processing. The checked/plaid cardstocks and paper were inked, adhered and outlined at the same time. The silver glitter accents were applied next. Then the calendar pieces and project life Sunday strip were inked and adhered at the same time. Last was to take some thin blue tonal plaid scraps with inked edges and staple in the upper right corner.
