Birthday Card Using Art By Miran Miss Broadway and Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge


Hello Blogland!   I hope everyone enjoyed the Holidays and that you are staying warm.   It has been a cold winter for most of the US.  We had a nice Christmas and New Year's. We stayed in on New Year's eve; but we did manage to stay up until midnight.  LOL!  

I am very excited to be invited as a Guest Designer on Art By Miran Showcase Blog; for January, 2015.  I love their digi stamps and don't get enough time to use them.  I have bought many of the digi stamps; as well as her rubber cling stamps sold by Whimsy Stamps. I think I own most of Whimsy's girls; so now I have started on these.  LOL!  What can I say?  I have a daughter, 4 granddaughters, 2 daughter in laws, two sisters and lots of female friends and family.  It is easier to create girl cards then the men's cards.

Be sure to check out the challenge on both Artbymiran Challenge blog as well as her Facebook group challenge; which you have to request to join.  She also has a Showcase blog; where you will find another fabulous group of DT creating with her stunning digi stamps.  This is also the home page; which gives you access to all her blogs, Facebook page and Artbymiran shop.  

I chose to use the digi stamp - Art By Miran "Miss Broadway".  I think she is adorable!  I am not sure who this card belongs to; but I am sure it will find it's home soon.  I thought you might like to see something besides pink and purple; so I went with lots of green this time.  I really liked this Anna Griffin paper that I had in my stash; so why not use it.

The challenge is to use three of something on your card.  I decided to use 3 frames, 3 flowers, 3 buttons and 3 bling.  It was fun to see how many things I could use with 3 of them.  LOL!  

I decided to stick with the traditional side step card; and not finish the inside.  I don't think I have ever seen anyone complete the inside (except me); as that is the beauty of having a side step card.  It appears to be an all in one card.  See my video for the side step card.
