Happy Birthday with a Cherry on Top

The new in-colors remind me of Sherbet, so I just had to use some of them on this Ice Cream cone card. The color combination is Pear Pizzazz and Peach Parfait. Doesn't this make you crave some sherbet?

The stamp sets that I used are Sweet Scoops (#120078 - $14.95 in clear mount) and A Word for You (#120528 - $16.95 in clear mount). The Sweet Scoops stamp set is from the Summer Mini catalog and is only available for a few more weeks.

I stamped the ice cream cone and birthday greeting in Peach Parfait and the ice cream swirl in Blushing Bride. Then of course I had to add a cherry on top of the ice cream using Cherry Cobbler ink. The textured background was created with the Square Lattice Textured Impression Pad and the Big Shot and the Scallop Rectangle was cut using the new clearlits die.

I hope you enjoy this card!

Look Who's Turning.........

It is inevitable that we all will hit certain age milestones during our lives and in four short months my big "40" Birthday will have come and gone. I could not resist making a bold statement with this adorable card. The Owls were created with the new "Two Step Owl Punch" (118074 - $16.95) and Tombow Adhesive. This punch cuts all the cardstock pieces to create an Owl with only one punch. For this card I used Real Red and So Saffron to create two Owls in coordinating colors.

The background is embossed using the Big Shot and Textured Plates # 4 to create a woodgrain effect. The branches were punched with the "Two Step Bird Punch" (117191 - $16.95). The numbers were cut out of the new Play Date designer series paper. This DSP set contains two full 12 x 12 sheets with 1" square numbers, which will all you to create dozens of these cute cards for any birthdate. The "look who's turning" greeting is from the "On Your Birthday" stamp set.

Birthday Wishes

This is another beautiful card made with the
Watercolor Trio stamp set. I can't believe that this set is only available for a few more weeks, it has become one of my favorites!

The background is embossed with the Perfect Polka Dots Textured Impression Pad and the Big Shot. I absolutely love the color combination
of Wild Wasabi and Marina Mist. I used Daffodil Delight to color the center of the Flower and the Butterfly to add a little bit of cheer to this card.
