Recent Birthday Cards

Here are some cards which I have made for individuals recently.
First up is a 60th birthday card for a man. I love the Number of Years Stamp set and I thought that I would team it up with the Wetlands Stamp Set that I have not used in a while.
I also used the Timeless Textures Stamp Set from the Spring/Summer Catalogue.

The next card was for a friend's daughter. Again I used the Number of Years Stamp Set with the Zoo Babies set. What a winning combination for a child's birthday card.
Colours used are Pool Party, Blushing Bride and Early Expresso.

The next card was for my Son and Daughter in law's 2nd wedding anniversary.
I have not used the Owl Builder Punch in a while so it was good to get it out again and blow off the cobwebs! The branch was made by trimming the leaf die from the Rose Garden Thinlets.

I used the Birthday Bouquet colours for the the last card with the Hexagon Hive Thinlet cut out of Whisper White Card Stock ovr some of the Designer Series Paper.
I also used the Papillon Pot Pourri and Petite Petals Stamp Sets and Punches.

Scalloped Tag Topper Cards.

 Here are some cards that I have enjoyed making with the Tag Topper Punch.
I used the Summer Silhouettes Stamp Set on the first one. How I enjoyed using that stamp set again!
I used one of the stamps from the Happy Watercolour set to give that Pool Party tinge in the background and then stamped the flower and tiny accent flowers on it in Black and Pool Party ink.
It was finished off with tiny pearls, glitter pen and Vanilla Seam binding Ribbon.
I would call this a Gatefold Tag Topper Card!

I used the Watercolour Designer Series Paper on Pacific Point Cardstock on this card.
I cut out three flowers from the paper and adhered them with Dimensionals.
The sentiment  comes from the Peaceful Petals stamp set. The border on the left hand side was made using one of the Finishing Touches Edgelits. White Taffeta Ribbon and Pearls completed the card.

You can make cards in different sizes as seen in the top two cards. I stamped Whisper White Cardstock using the Petal Parade Saleabration Stamp Set for the background of the card on the left.
The sentiment is from the Pennant Parade Stamp Set cut out using the matching Banner Framelits.
I love the pastel colours of these two cards.
I used some of the Retro Designer Series Paper on the card below and the Zoo Babies Stamp Set.
Did you notice the toucan sitting on the elephant.
