Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday!!!

Happy Birthday!!! Our good friends Chris and Jenn have to of the cutest girls. I, Being a mom of 2 boys, love to shop for little girls. But everytime Chris and I go out he always beats me to the punch line. I love sparkly things so I couldn't resist this really cool all over glitter paper. I used TAC stamp s from the Petal Pack collection. The stamp has a great selections of stamps that you can use on their own or combined with others in this collection.

I used bright purple and pink ink. Palette makes ink packs called Spot 4. I used the Renoir collection. If you are new to stamping over even an old pro this gives you a great grouping of colors that work wonderfully together.

The cards look cuter in person, the flash from the camera causes a glare on the glitter paper. I hope that you get the general idea.

Let's hear it for the Red, White and Blue!!!

With Memorial Day behind us and Forth of July on it's way I made this wonderful vintage style card. The inspiration was the theme to this months Swap. Patriotic.
I love red, white and blue. On one of my many trips to Michaels I found this really pretty vintage style paper. In Versa Magic Jumbo Java ink I stamped the word freedom on Cream colored card stock. I used Stickles to add a little extra fun to the letters. If you haven't used stickles, do yourself a favor and give them a try. You will love the result they give you. Plus who doesn't love a little sparkle. I used navy and dark red paper as accents.

To tie it all together I added a powder
blue ribbon.
WORD TO THE WISE----
I used 3M Quick dry Glue for the ribbon.
Not smart. You could see the glue line.
SO, I added another piece of ribbon
on top. All I can say is DOUBLE SIDED TAPE :0)

Enjoy!
