Boss' Birthday Card

Here's the card I made for my Boss this week.  Thursday was his birthday.  He said he "loved it"!

I used Soft Suede CS for the base and punched out a strip with the Lace Ribbon Border Punch. I cut a strip of it in half and used it on the front of the envelope and on the inside of the card.  The Happy Birthday is from the Perfectly Penned Stamp Set.  The background paper is Everyday Enchantment DSP (free from sale-a-bration catalog with a $50 order).  I framed the Happy Birthday with Pool Party DSP and cut a little flower with the Blossom Bouquet Triple Layer Punch in Calypso Coral with a Brad from the Everyday Enchantment Ribbon & Brad Pack that I got free from the sale-a-bration catalog.  I used a Labels Framelit to cut the sentiment for the inside that I printed on my computer.  I also trimmed the inside DSP by punching with Scallop Trim Border Punch.

November Birthday's

We have a lot of November Birthday's in our family.  This is the first of several cards for them you will see this month.

I used Pool Party CS for the base of the card.  Spice Cake DSP for the bottom and strips on the inside.  The Happy Birthday is from Perfectly Penned Stamp Set using More Mustard Ink Pad and the flower is from Button Buddies Stamp Set stamped with Pool Party Ink and Clear Embossing Powder. My Twin Judy made a card similar to this for my Birthday this year and I loved it.  (Thanks for letting me copy you Judy!)  The center of the flower I used one of the In Color Printed Designer Brads ~ love those.  I used the Scallop Edge Punch on the inside strips.  Also across the middle of the front of the card is Pool Party Ruffled Ribbon.  Hope Wendy likes her card and has a wonderful Birthday.  We don't get to see her much, she lives in New Hamshire.
