Birthday Banners and Balloon Bouquets

Tami at Stamp With Tami made a similar card to this one and I just had to use this layout! The stamp set is Birthday Banners. I changed the designer series paper and the colors, then added some ribbon across the front. The pearls were just the last touch, as well.

This makes a fantastic and festive birthday card for any age person! Using the Bunch of Banners Framelits and the Balloon Bouquet Punch makes it easy to whip up for that birthday guy or gal!

#4 Special Girl Birthday

Another pair of similar cards, if you saw yesterday's post. Our granddaughter turns 4 this month and I've used pretty much the same layout as the 2 year old card I made for our grandson. Their birthdays are only 2 days apart.

Our granddaughter can read numbers and letters, so of course I wanted to put a large "4" onto the card. I used the bright Daffodil Delight card stock and cut it out using the Large Numbers Framelits. She will enjoy recognizing her new age when she opens this card. That cute balloon is from the Party Animal Embellishments (now retired).  The banner behind the number was cut out and stamped with a teeny image from the Paper Pumpkin (May 2017) stamp set called Sprinkled with Love.

Thanks for looking today! I hope you will choose my Online Store for your Stampin' Up! purchases. I'd love to be your demonstrator!

Two-Year-Old Birthday Candles

Our grandson is turning two this month and he doesn't know how to read yet, so I've made this card with TWO candles on it. Hopefully he gets a little help "reading" or counting those TWO candles on his special day.

That adorable little birthday hat is from the retired Party Animal Embellishment package, which never got used in my craft room until now! The Pacific Point Stitched Edge Ribbon is *brand new*, available starting today, so I hope you are excited to see how new products blend right in with the "old."

Colorful Happy Birthday Banner

Another CASEd card, this time from Amy O'Neill. Casing makes it easy to have enough birthday cards on hand! I send out about one card of some typer per day on average. I love making cards and not sending them would be so sad, right? Do you keep your cards or send them? Let me know in the comment section!

Love these unlikely colors together. I'm not good at putting colors together, but this is so bright and colorful: Bermuda Bay, Calypso Coral, Dapper Denim and Peekaboo Peach. I added a little brush end of a Crushed Curry marker to one side of the flame for a little interest.

Thanks for looking today! Have a great weekend.

Pineapple It's Your Big Day!

Since Stampin' Up! came out with the Pineapple stamp, I've noticed more pineapples than ever!

This display that I saw at our church bookstore last Sunday pretty much sums of the pineapple and it's place in our decorating schemes! Pillows, plates and platters adorn this display. 

Now you can make cards that will be on trend and will also make someone's day! Use the Pineapple stamp alone or with a sentiment and some embellishments and voila! You have a wonderful and welcome greeting for anyone of any age.

To add the mottled look on the pineapple itself, I used my Stampin' Write marker in Soft Suede to tap all over the ink. I stamped an extra set of Cucumber Crush leaves and cut three of them out to pop up with Stampin' Dimensionals. It adds a 3-D look. 

I hope you liked looking today and that you will leave a comment. I love reading them!
