A birthday card!

I've been working on birthday cards this week. We are celebrating a double birthday this evening and another double birthday tomorrow. Here is the card for my step-sister:


Things used in this card:
  • Flower Fancy stamp set
  • On Your Birthday stamp set
  • Perfect Plum textured card stock (cut out to fit over a standard Whisper White card)
  • a Rich Razzleberry sheet from the Brights Patterns Designer Series Paper
  • Whisper White card stock
  • for the Classic Inks: Perfect Plum for the solid part of the flowers, Basic Gray for the outline, Certainly Celery and Rich Razzleberry for the sentiment
  • Labels Collection Framelits Dies from the Occasions Mini Catalogue
  • mini silver brads


Her son is also having a birthday soon. Here is the card I came up with for him:





For this card, I used:

  • standard Whisper White card
  • Island Indigo card stock from the 2011-2013 In Colour 
  • Real Red card stock for the background circle
  • the cupcake is from the Create a Cupcake stamp set and punched out with the Cupcake Builder punch
  • the candles are just punched out with the Cupcake Builder with a paper from a no-longer-available 6x6 Patterns Pack
  • the lighter aqua paper is from old Stampin' Up paper, too (got to make use of what you have! :D)
  • I used the Big Shot Circles #2 die to make the circles. The red circle is actually on a piece of thick card from the back of a Stampin' Up paper pack (boy, can the dies CUT!)
  • the sentiment is, again, from the On Your Birthday stamp set


The picture for my niece's card didn't work out very well, but here it is anyhow:





I think the stamps may be from older sets, except the sentiment is from the Pour Ton Anniversaire stamp set (French version of On Your Birthday set). The card is Pretty In Pink textured cardstock, with a bit of trim from, I think, the Brights Patterns Designer Paper, the sentiment is on the same, punched out with the Decorative Label punch, on some Whisper White Satin Ribbon. Colours used: Perfect Plum, Rich Razzleberry, Pretty In Pink and Marina Mist.

Haven't finished my brother-in-law's card yet!
