Tis the season for birthdays ...


After 6 months of almost no cards for school friends, we have a rush in the second half of the year.  I thought these colours would be perfect for a friend whose birthday is next weekend, at the movies.  I can't believe what these kids get to do for parties, it isn't a big cinema so I imagine this group will have it exclusively.  They are seeing "The Sapphires" an Australian movie and dinner will be served during the session! WOW

Anyway, this little friend isn't really a girly girl, so have kept the design pretty simple.  There are grey flowers behind the sentiment but are quite hard to see.



What you need
Cardstock - SU white, black
Patterned paper - ? SU Pumpkin Pie polka dot;  MME Lush 2 turquiose flocked stripe
Stamps - TE Friendship Blooms;  HA Many Birthday Messages
Ink - SU Tempting Turquoise, Pumpkin Pie;  Memento Tuxedo Black, London Fog
Gems - Kaisercraft

This is another card I did for a little friend's birthday yesterday.  She turned 5 hence the slightly younger theme.  





This set is from Clear and Simple stamps 1 or 2 releases ago, something so different and great for a few little girls in our life.

  1. Both birthday cards are just lovely. I think the sentiment on the first card is super. And they sound like they're going to have a great time. Love the little banner on the image in the second card - great fun!

  4. I think I would have put those colours in the "too hard" basket but your card turned out great! I enjoyed going back through your blog this morning and catching up on lots I have missed lately (and faveing some lovelies!) Only 2 more weeks and I get to experience those 27 degree days for myself!
