Grandson's B-Day Card

Here's the card I made for Bob's Grandson.  I used one of the cards we did at Convention last year as my model, the one we made at Convention was a 4x4, this one is regular card size 5 1/2 x 4 1/4.

I used More Mustard CS for the card base.  The Happy Birthday is from the You're Amazing Stamp Set and stamped in Midnight Muse on Vanilla CS.  I sponged the edges after cutting it out with the Apothecary Accents Framlits.   The banner is Early Espresso Core'dinations CS ran through the Textured Impressions Wood-grain Embossing Folder and sanded with the Sanding Block.  The next layer is Newsprint DSP and I added Midnight Muse Satin Stitched Ribbon.  The little tickets are punched with the Ticket Duo Builder Punch and attached to one of the Vintage Trinket safety pins.  The inside is computer generated on Vanilla CS and cut with the Ovals Collection Framelits.   How do those kids grow up so fast!

Perk Up!

Another card-lift from Laurie Zoellmer, I love her ideas!  Thanks for sharing Laurie.  Here's my version:

I used Take a Sip Wheel and Morning Cup Stamp Set for the perk up! and single coffee cup.  The card base is Poppy Parade CS and the backing paper is More Mustard run through the Square Lattice Embossing Folder.  I used Poppy Parade Stampin' Write Marker to add color to the flowers on the cup and the heart.  I used the Scallop Trim Border for the strip of Poppy Parade CS behind the line of cups.  I also punched a Scallop Circle out of the Poppy Parade CS and mounted the single cup and perk up! punched from 1-3/8" circle punch with diminsenionals.  I sponged around the circles and other design done with the wheel in Soft Suede Ink.  Doesn't this remind you of the old Harvest Gold and other retro colors from the 60's??  (Any of you old enough to have lived in that era!!) tee!hee!
