I distressed my background and then added the hearts using the Tumbling Heart stencil. I added the postage-edging using the Framework die set. I then stamped the sentiment using the Love Cafe' stamp set and added to the edging using the afore mentioned die set. I stamped and colored the mugs from theLove Cafe' stamp set. I pulled the little love envelope stamp from the Valentine Postage Sampler stamp set and added a couple images. I added a bit of bling to finish my card.

Snappy Birthday

Masculine cards are really a challenge for me. For this card, I chose a shark because most boys I've known like sharks. I also used a more masculine color scheme.

Shark Bites stamp set (retired)

Carta Bella-Beach Boardwalk paper pad (retired)



I thought this paper selection worked perfectly with the blues and gold.

Products Used-

Aloha Newton stamp set (retired)
Waves stencil

The colors, flowers and including a sky inspired this card. 

I've had this paper pad in my stash for ages. I picked it up at a store like Michaels while I still lived in Utah, which was more than 7 years ago!  It's obviously been neglected as I still have it!  Yikes!

Inspired by the colors in first square as well as the Hawaiian theme.


Thanks so much for stopping by!
