Boss' Birthday Card

Created a Birthday Card for my Boss.  I CASED this one from Inking Idaho, another one of my "favorites".
Becky Roberts has a tutorial for this card, makes it so easy to CASE!  She also has a link on her site to where she found it.  So much fun that all these stampers love to share~

I used Easy Events Stamp Set, White Colored Pencil, Petite Curly Label Punch, Cupcake Builder Punch (for the candle), Boho Blossoms Punch for the Flower.  I used the Natural Composition Specialty DSP for the frame.  White embossing powder on the cupcake stamp (picture didn't' show it real well - sorry).  The banner is punched from Tea For Two DSP.  I used one of the Antique Brads to help it be a bit more masculine?  Early Espresso Taffeta Ribbon for the little bows and the banner is adhered to Baker's Twine. 

Sympathy Card ~ Susan

One of my close friends at work lost her Dad last week.  I decided to try Patty's challenge to make her a Sympathy Card ~

What a great technique Patty.  Used Just Believe Stamp Set, White Embossing Powder and Stamp Pads: Always Artichoke, Cajun Craze, So Saffron & Marina Mist.  The butterflies were cute with the little Beautiful Wings Embosslits.  The big butterfly I wrapped with White Baker's Twine to make tentacles.  The With Sympathy is from the Loving Thoughts Stamp Set.  Thanks for the challenge Patty!  You're awesome.....
