Renske - Hello everyone! Today we are showing you January birthday ideas. I made a shaker tag this time using the digital stamp Celebration - Winnie Celebration Winter. I coloured it with my alcohol makers. On the background of the shaker, I am using a patterned paper from the Winnie Celebration 1 - digital paper set. I used the paper with the balloons to give it a festive touch. I used the sentiment Let's Party from the Winnie Celebrations kit 2 -sentiment set. Hope you like it. Happy Crafting!

Judy: The design team was asked to created a project, not a card, appropriate for a January Birthday for this week's inspiration. I made a gift bag and tag. The bag was constructed with white card stock and I added a band of patterned paper from 11 Icy Winter Papers Set 1 Theo Penguin. The focal is a shaker created with one of the new Theo Penguin digis, Sealed with a Gift Theo Penguin. I colored the digi with Prismacolor Pencils. The background of the shaker is from 10 Precoloured Background Scenes Bundle Winter and Ice Theo Penguin. I made a tag using dies from the Snow Globe Die Set.

Enrica - Happy New Year everyone and Happy Birthday to all of you who clebrate this month! For my project this week I’ve made a small bag using the sweet Champagne Celebration digital stamp colored with Copic and patterned paper from the Mod the cat printable bundle. I’ve added a sentiment from the Everyday greetings and quotes - Winnie Daisy Fairy and glittered foam. Have a wonderful Birthday!


Revati - Hello crafty friends, wishing you all a very happy new year! As I start this new year with some clean and simple cards, I started with a quick and elegant birthday card using the Alcea Hollyhock Flowers Bundle. This beautiful floral patterned paper covers the entire card front. The "Sending Birthday Wishes" sentiment also comes from the same bundle. I added a touch of sparkle to my flowers using some Spectrum Noir Glitter Brush Pens and some sequin mix.

Jenn B - I made a bookmark for my granddaughter Raeana, who turns 6 on January 15. I used Capricorn digital stamp, colored with alcohol markers and fussy-cut, then attached with foam dimensional tape. I used the Capricorn paper from the Zodiac signs - Printable Paper Patterns for the background. I used xx from the Birthday Sentiments & Greetings digital stamp set. I sponged the edges of the bookmark and added some little pearl stickers, then tied a floss-like ribbon on it.

Adam - I Made a birthday card in soft shades of pinks and blues by stamping the flowers on pink and blue craft paper from the Soft and Scrumptious paper pad. Die cut the flowers and leaves to be placed onto the background of printed tissue paper with a bit of ink shading. Next, I cut out some blue individual flowers and used dimensional tape to attach them over the matching flowers to add depth to the card front. Attached card front to a blue card base. Finally, I added the sentiment to the front stamped on matching blue card stock.
