Good Afternoon!
It's the 2nd Thursday in November! How did November come up so fast? Anyway, it's time for a new challenge at Seize The Birthday. Ashwini is our hostess and for our Toppings this time, she has chosen "Use Christmas Supplies".
I do have several people in my life with December birthdays and some close to Christmas. So, I made a literal Christmas themed birthday card. Usually I don't send those because I know some people with birthdays near Christmas would like regular birthday cards. However, with this theme, I decided to go literal.
I pulled out a layered holly stencil by Catherine Pooler for my background using a blueish teal, pink and red inks. Then I pulled out that cute little gnome die by Spellbinders and cut everything in the same colors as well as the label for my birthday sentiment.
If you're not a "Toppings" kind of crafter, there's our Anything Goes challenge as well, just make sure it's a birthday card. Stop by the STB blog and check out all the other scrumptious cards created by the rest of the Design Team and our Party Guests, Johanna and Liz!
Thank you for stopping by for a visit. Hope you come again soon!

I have several friends with birthdays in December including my son. I agree with you sometimes they want just birthday cards but this year I'm going to do what you did. Send them a birthday card using Christmas supplies. Thanks for the inspiration
I love this gnome swinging on a Christmas ball! Perfect for a Christmas birthday!
This is as darling as can be and you nailed this challenge, Nance! I want to thank you for being with us on STB and I could not be happier that you said yes and joined the team! I hope 2026 is easier on you and you have a nice Holiday Season! Take care!
Nance, your gnome is just adorable and so sweet in pink. Love how she's swinging on the ornament and the fun holly background. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, Christmas and Happy New Year. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, Christmas and Happy New Year.
