Seize the Birthday #337-Geometric and Word Dies

Hello Crafters,

It's Nance! I'm going to be your hostess this next fortnight here at STB. I've been MIA due to two hand surgeries, and I'm so thrilled to be back and hosting! This time I'm asking for a Geometric Design along with Word Dies on your Birthday card.

Remember, our Toppings are always OPTIONAL. If you're not into the Topping, you can always play along in our Anything Goes challenge, as long as it is a Birthday Card. Those who do participate with our Toppings have a chance to be our winner and become a Guest Designer.

So now let's take a look at what the Design Team and guest designer, Stacey, have created using my chosen Toppings:

Our "Topping" option this time is...

If you're not a toppings kinda person, well...you can just
stick with our usual "Anything Goes" Birthday!

The choice is yours!

Just remember to keep it a Birthday Theme!

Seize the Birthday #336-Double Frame

Hello Crafters,

Nancy here, and I am happy to be your hostess for the next topping here at STB! What I want you to do is put a Double Frame on your birthday card. You will see many ways to achieve this look below!

Remember, our Topping is ALWAYS optional; if you prefer, you can always make any type of Birthday card or project. You will not be able to be chosen as our winner, but that doesn't mean your card can't be featured on our winners post.

Before we see what the Design team has done with this Topping, I would like to give a warm welcome to our other guest designer, Denise. She won our previous challenge. Denise, we are happy to have you guesting alongside Stacey today! Thanks for being here!
