Birthday Bash

That's what my class was yesterday ~ a Birthday Bash! We made 12 Birthday Cards getting a head start on the New Year! Those January Birthdays always tend to sneak up on me, so I decided to be ready for them this year. I designed 4 cards & we made 3 each of the 4 designs.

The first one is pretty much a CASE from the catalog. I've had my eye on the For You Flower Stamp since the catalog came out & finally got it. I don't know why it took me so long. It's one of the single stamps that you can get for only $7.95.

It coordinates with the Fancy Flower Punch & the 1-1/4" Circle Punch. I've also used the 1-3/8" Circle Punch to add a layer of Chocolate Chip. I stamped the flower once with Real Red Classic Ink, and once with Crumb Cake Classic Ink. On the Crumb Cake flower, I used my Real Red & Chocolate Chip Stampin' Write Markers to color in the heart and the words You & for before stamping and punching them out.

The patterned paper is from the Play Date DSP, edged with Chocolate Chip Cardstock trimmed with the Scalloped Edge Border Punch.

I had a little Holiday Boutique in my home this past weekend, hence my absence ~ I can't believe it's been so long since I've posted anything! I have some pictures to share tomorrow.

Thanks for checking in!
