So Many Birthdays This Week

I'm having a paper weekend. Yesterday we were with the lovely Nina at Sugar and Spice for the June page of the Complete Book project, then home to make a start on the family cards. Sorry Lyn but yes these are all pink. It was nice to see Sam, a fellow DT girl, stocking up for future projects.

This is Tilly's. Love the Cuttlebug for embossing, a few jeweled hearts and a bit of ribbon and glamour dust for my Great Niece.

It's Sharon and Dave's 10th Wedding Anniversary this coming weekend so a soft lavender card for them.

This card is Craftwork papers topped with a cuttlebug embossed heart and butterflies using my new Martha Stewart punch. Again a bit of glamour dust and ribbon makes a simple pretty card.

My Sister-in-Law Pam's card. Again simple, just nine scallop circles in various shades of pink, topped with a few embellishments that you have and never use.

This also looks great with every circle a different colour and squares instead of circles, blue instead of pink for a guy, or pink if he prefers....................

Last but not least Auntie Jean's birthday card.

The flower is Glimmer Mist sprayed over a negative of a chipboard flower. So don't throw away the negatives when you push out the flowers girls, because there is always a use for it at some time or other.

A Quicky Birthday Card

This was a quickie birthday card using scraps of paper, card embroidery silk and a button.

I stamped a large flower using a contrasting ink on a scrap of paper. I think this stamp was one from the Banana Frog ranges of clear stamps. Then carefully cut out the flower and stitched a co-ordinating button to the centre. Using the same ink pad, I inked around the four sides of the white birthday card. I cut a piece of green card stock to the exact size of the birthday card and tore the edges to give it a rough finish. Using the same embroidery thread I stitched a line of running stitches up the centre of the green card and mounted the flower using foam pads. Using the same coloured ink pad I stamped a sentiment from Sugar and Spice Happy Birthday Flower clear stamps on a piece of white card stock and cut it into a Tag. I inked the edges again using the same ink pad and tied it to the stem of the flower.
