Washi Tape Birthday


 
I really like the ease of using Washi Tape.  Just place and wrap it around your layer, use a lot or a little to get the look you want and you have a nice background for your card.  You don't have to use just the rolls that come together when you purchase them but have fun and mix and match to get the design and color combination you want.
 
I used Washi Tape from Sweet Dreams, Sweet Sadie, Retro Fresh, and Beach House packs.  I wanted to coordinate Crisp Cantaloupe and Pool Party for a soft summer birthday card and each of those packs had one roll that went perfectly. 
 
I used one of the flowers from the Petal Potpourri Stamp Set and punched it out with the Flower Medallion Punch and added my sentiment to finish my card.  The flower and punch were purchased as a bundle to save me 15%.

Just Kidding


 
I love the sentiments in the "Just Kidding" stamp set.  Just the perfect cards to send to my girlfriends.  The inside sentiment for my card reads ...from your 110 pound friend.  How appropriate!
 
I used the Ornate Tag Topper Punch for my tag, added some Rich Razzleberry 1/4" Cotton Ribbon to the top and a small piece at the bottom, and also layered a piece of Chocolate Chip 3/4" Chevron Ribbon around my paper to break up the pattern a bit.  I didn't want to color in all of my image, so just took my Rich Razzleberry marker and highlighted her shoes and belt.

Painted Blooms - Quick Card


 
It doesn't get much easier than this.  Cut a piece of Painted Blooms Designer Series Paper, layer it onto coordinating Card Stock, add a coordinating ribbon, stamp your sentiment and you have a quick, but really pretty card.
 
I love all of the paper in the Painted Blooms Designer Series Paper pack, and some of the designs are so pretty that you don't need to stamp anything else to it to create your card.   I did stamp some additional small flowers around my Thank You, and cut this out using my Artisan Label Punch, and cut one more Punch using Black Berry Bliss Card Stock and cut it in half so I could layer it around my sentiment.  I will really  hate to see this paper go so I just might have to stock up on a few packs before it is retired.

Another Mother's Day Card


 
One of my stamp classes is tonight and I have several Mother's Day cards prepared.  I try to make them so they can be used for more than one occasion so if you don't need a card for Mother's Day you could change the sentiment and have a card for a birthday, thank you, and so much more.
 
My card base is Crisp Cantaloupe Card Stock with a layer of Old Olive Card Stock  and Park Lane Designer Series Paper.  I used my Crisp Cantaloupe marker to add some more color to my DSP and tied on a piece of Crisp Cantaloupe Thick Baker's Twine.  My butterflies were stamped once right onto the DSP and then again onto a piece of Whisper White Card Stock and cut out with my Big Shot.  The Butterfly Thinlits should be available soon and when they are remember that you can purchase both the Stamp Set and Thinlits together in a bundle to save you 15%.  I added a few small pearls to the butterflies for a bit more embellishment and put them onto my card using a thin layer of Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Umpteenth Birthday!


 
Happy Umpteenth Birthday!  A cute sentiment when we really don't want to share our true age.
 
I wanted to make this a card that could be used for a man or a woman so I paired my card stock up with some Maritime Designer Series Paper.  It creates not only a nautical look but the bright colors in the paper are great for those summer birthdays.  My sentiment was cut out using my Big Shot and a Deco Label Framelit and placed onto the card using Dimensionals.
 
For some additional embellishment I layered some 1 1/4" Burlap and Night of Navy 1/2" Seam Binding, and used a Subtle Designer Button to finish my card.
