Happy Birthday card

Hey everyone! Here is another card that I made for one of my husband's friends at work. His birthday is actually on July 4th, which is a pretty cool birthday :) 

Last year, I went with the whole red, white and blue theme, but this year, I decided to go with more neutral colors. To add some texture, I embossed each strip with the Houndstooth embossing folder (123134). Then, I sponged each piece before adding them to the card. I also stamped the happy birthday sentiment on a banner.

Even though I didn't go with a 4th of July look and feel, I did go with adding quite a few stars on his birthday card. I wanted to still kind of have the stars and stripes sort of feel to the card. Hopefully he likes it!

Thanks for stopping by and have a nice day :)

Happy Birthday card

Hello! Here is the card that my husband asked me to make for a friend at work for her birthday.

For her birthday card, I went with some Afternoon Picnic DSP (131390). I really do like this Designer Series Paper. It's one of my new faves :) To punch out a couple of windows on this card, I used the Hexagon punch (130919) and stamped the Happy Birthday sentiment inside the window. I then added some butterflies and itty bitty flowers.... a couple more faves of mine.

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your day!!

happy birthday

Hello! Here is a birthday card I made. I just LOVE banners and when I saw this hostess set, I knew that I just HAD to get it! So cute!!!!

And of course, with these banners in mind, I wanted to try something a little different with the card. We adhered the happy birthday banners onto small Popsicle sticks.

And to add some texture to the card we used the Chevron embossing folder. I love how the texture just pops on the card stock!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!

Happy Birthday to you!

Hello! Here is a clean and simple birthday card for you guys today. 

I got to play with the big shot, which is ALWAYS fun! I used to different embossing folders to add different textures to the card. Gotta love the Stripes embossing folder and the Polkadots embossing folder. I used them A LOT!

And the "HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you!" sentiment was fun to play with too because not only did I get to stamp this cute shape, but we got to use a matching punch! Woohoo! Gotta love coordinating punches!!!!

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your day :)

A Happy Father's day card

Hello! Here is another card I made. I went with browns and blues for this clean and simple Father's Day card.

It's been awhile since I've used the Argyle embossing folder (127750) and I thought it would make a nice touch on this card. I like how the texture just pops on the Midnight Muse card stock (126843). And we sponged the pieces of the card with one of the new in colors - Baked Brown Sugar ink (131174).

The "Happy Father's Day" sentiment is from the Delightful Dozen stamp set (Clear 122652, Wood 128547). We also got to play with some of the new Neutrals Designer Buttons (130031). I do miss the designer buttons from last year's catalog, but these are quickly growing on me. Especially for masculine cards which I need to make more of!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend :)
