Birthday Card for Rachel

 These birthdays are coming fast - one right after another!  We celebrated Rachel's birthday this weekend.  Hard to believe that she turned 23!!  The weather was miserable here over the weekend, but the rain held off so we could get into and out of the restaurant without getting drenched.  We had a nice time especially when it came to the desserts!  I was looking through my stamps trying to decide what type of card to make and chose a Gina K stamp set called Spread Your Wings.  My friend had gifted me this recently and it was the perfect stamp to use as she likes butterflies.

I used SU's CS Highland Heather for my base card and stamped the image with black ink using my Prismacolor pencils with Gamsol for the coloring.  The only thing I wish I had done differently would have been to emboss the image so it would have stood out more.  I love the sentiments that are with this stamp set.  I also used SU's Very Best Trio Punch for my CS.

For my inside sentiments, I used SU's Parisian Beauty and Perennial Birthday. 

Here is a picture of Rachel with her Mom and Jennifer plus her duck.  She doesn't go too far with it!!  LOL!  My other daughter's birthday is Thursday so back to the craft room!

Flame Floral Birthday Card

 I was cleaning up my desk this morning and realized that I didn't post Sarah's birthday card.  It is hard to believe that she turned 21!! Things were so screwed up being sick with Covid.  We didn't get to celebrate her birthday until Easter.  I decided to use a stamp set called Frame Flora by Gina K.  It has so many nice stamps/dies.

I used her 5 /8" Masking Magic on a piece of  3 1/2" x 4 3/4" white CS and did some light stamp blending.  Then I stamped over it with the main stamp and then with the Love You in the banner.  This stamp set has nice different sentiments that you can use.

Here is one that I used for inside the card along with some leaves that I stamped.  Here are some pictures of the kids looking for eggs.

Daisy had to get into the hunt as well!

The baby needed some help to get this large one!

These two definitely had a bond!

Birthday Card

 I needed another birthday card, so I decided to make one with washi tape! I told myself that I cannot buy anymore tape until I use up what I have - LOL!   I loved how it turned out and it was so quick and easy.  I should have made some more to keep on hand.  I made my base card in Whisper White and the first layer is in Daffodil Delight.  I then cut a layer of CS and layered it with washi tape.

I used gold embossing powder for my sentiment from SU's stamp set Butterfly Basics and layered it in some more Daffodil Delight.  To make my balloons I used my Balloon Punch from SU and some more Daffodil CS and glitter paper.

For my inside sentiment, I used SU's stamp set Approaching Perfection, used my gold embossing powder and decorated it with some more washi tape.  Joe's birthday is coming up next week, so I may give him this card.  I'm sure he'll like the sentiment.
