#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.

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."

Rose Soap Leaves on Display

I am a volunteer tutor and we are having our end of year banquet tomorrow. I am hosting six ladies at my table, so I made each of them a special gift they can take home and use while on break this summer. I found the soap leaves, which are shaped into rose blooms, at World Market. They come 20 in a box and they come in different colors and scents. I chose all pink.

These gorgeous 2" x 2" clear boxes from Stampin' Up! have been sitting on my desk for quite awhile. I didn't know what I would do with them, but when I found those soap leaves, I was hoping several of the blooms would fit into them!

The only thing left to do was decorate the boxes. I chose "FOR YOU" from the May "Sprinkled with Love" Paper Pumpkin stamp set. Next to it on my Sweet & Sassy heart is a bloom from the Colorful Seasons stamp set (debuts June 1) stamped in the *new* Powder Pink ink and accented with Smoky Slate to match the Smoky Slate 1/8" Stitched Ribbon.

Thank you for looking today! I hope you are inspired. Whenever you need to purchase Stampin' Up!, I hope you will choose me as your demonstrator. Just use my Online Store any time!
