Bold Birthday Card

I like the bold colors in this card. I used pink shimmer paper for the base. I put black paper strips at top and bottom, then adhered black and white striped paper over them. I used ribbon for the stem and leaves. The flower is a sticker. I stamped 'best wishes' on the outside and 'Happy Birthday' on the inside. Done and easy, pretty much a 10 minute card.

Have a blessed day,

Heron Birthday Card

This is the card that I sent to my dad for his birthday. He likes all kinds of birds. This card would qualify as a 10 minute card. I stamped the heron with Early Espresso Stampin Up classic ink pad on the top half of Whisper White card stock. Then I put Soft Suede paper on the bottom and accented with a strip of blue paper cut with a Wave paper shaper. Then I stamped a swirl in the bottom right corner and wrapped a piece of twine near the fold of the card. Inside is a birthday sentiment. You can find the ink, and paper HERE

 

Happy Stamping!

Cricut floral birthday card

I used a Cricut to make this birthday card. I cut out 4 circles in different colors then distressed the edges and used a glue dot to attach the button. I cut out a leaf and a swirl with the Cricut. I used a paper edger to shape the 4 corners of a 4" x 12" strip of double sided card stock and then folded it into a gate-fold card. I applied a strip of paper across the middle, stamped it with a greeting, stamped another greeting inside and attached the flower on the outside. This card took longer than 10 minutes to make.

Thanks for checking it out!

Floral Birthday Card

I sent this card to my mother for her birthday. She loves flowers and has a huge rose garden. She thought this card was store-bought.

Party Favor

Here's an idea for a party favor or to give a favorite person a treat. I used a precut favor box. Cut a strip of Stampin Up Designer Series Paper to wrap around it. Punched a heart out of red paper. Stamped 2 hearts from 'I (heart) hearts' stamp set by Stampin Up onto white paper. Cut the double stamped hearts out and stuck it to the punched heart. Stuck it to the favor box back with glue dots. Put a tiny rhinestone above the 'i' in friend. And finally tied a red satin ribbon bow and filled it with chocolates. Done!
