Happy Birthday Little Brother

Masculine birthday cards are always a challenge for me. I love pink and girl-y colors that just don't work for a guy card. These were my first cupcake stamps I purchased (and it's become an obsession since). Previously I did a pink version that was one of my favorites. I think I've found the male counterpart. I love how the muted colors come together and are still festive. This one is for my brother. Happy Birthday Adam!!!

Happy Birthday Jen

I received the orchid stamp (as part of a set) for Christmas and I love it!! I need to try some of the others in the set, but that will have to wait for another day. The swirled corners are a 7 gypsies set. This card is to wish my friend Jen a very happy 30th birthday.

Happy Valentine's Day!!

The inside of the card.

I really wanted to create a card with a punchout on the front and hearts showing through. For some reason it took forever to get it to come together in a way I liked. But I am happy with the final product. I used fancy pants rub ons, a little making memories paper and a little yellow bicycle transparency.

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

Welcome Baby (boy card)

Another baby card. Boys seem to be in the air so I've been trying to make some baby boy cards lately. Here's the latest.
