Another August Birthday Card

Amazing Birthday

I got the idea for this card from Shelli Gardner.  Shelli is the Co-Founder and CEO of Stampin’ Up!  She has a blog where she occasionally posts pictures of cards she has made or received.  Her blog address is www.soshelli.com in case you want to check it out.  Anyway, she made a card that sort of, but not really, looked like this.  I just took her design and made it my own.  It is called CASEing (Copy And Share Everything) and is perfectly allowable.  Whenever you CASE something, it is always nice to give the original card maker credit.

I used a few different stamp sets to make this card.  They are Amazing Birthday, Mixed Bunch, Flower Shop, Petite Petals, and Gorgeous Grunge.  I used a new Thinlit called Striped Scallop as well as all the punches that match the flower stamps.

Happy Birthday Tara

DSC02174Today is my favorite daughter-in law’s Birthday.  Tara is married to my middle son, Sam and is 30 years old today!  I made this card for her using the Project Life Everyday Adventure Card Collection.  I love using them on my cards.  It is like having a whole bunch of different Designer Series Paper on hand and the bright colors are just my style.  This card uses Daffodil Delight, Strawberry Slush and Bermuda Bay. Of course, the Project Life cards are supposed to be used as pocket scrapbookking but you can use them as cards too.

For the sentiment I used Itty Bitty Banners with the matching Bitty Banners Framelits.  The flowers is from Mixed Bunch cut out using the matching punch called Blossom.

Happy Birthday, Tara!  Love you!
