Happy Birthday & Sherri Baldy

“With mirth and laughter let old wrinkles come.” 
― William Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice

One can never have too many birthday cards on hand.  There is finally a need in me to create again, and I have been loving it.  Going home from the store, a quick dinner and  off to my  craft room I go ... Sometimes the time escapes  me and  before I know it its 3:30am ... thank goodness the store only opens at  10:00am and I have a 5-7 minute commute!

Finally got to  play with my copics and Sherri Baldy digi stamps  that  I purchased a little  while ago ... and  with the papers Floral Muse by Docraft that were in the June  kit ( sorry sold out)... a  soft shabby Birthday card was created ... 

My style is  shabby and soft, no one can dispute that and  even on the  coloring with the  copics  I stay with the  light  shades ...

A  little bit of paper layering and  using  some  ovals and  frames... and  a little flower clustering  ...  done  ...

The  berries, are  from Petaloo - Spring Sale .. and  painted them gold to match the card

 “Today, just take time to smell the roses, enjoy those little 

things about your life, your family, spouse, friends, job. 

Forget about the thorns -the pains and problems they cause 

you  and enjoy life”

Happy Birthday

I hope that for every candle on your cake you get a wonderful surprise.

 I created this card for a  good friends birthday and for the inspirational creation for our  monthly card/tag challenge. 

 Loves the   metal  dies from prima and the  leaves  one is a  must ! 

Embossed the metal flying unicorn adornment and the  kaiserkraft  frame with shabby white to match and  blend in with the colors of the card 

 Layering of the  new  prima  metal diecuts - love love them  .. I need to play with them a  little  - I think they are  so versatile  ... 

 Using cottage cutz die cut banner - I handstiched the faux stitching the diecut shows  off ... a little extra touch to the card

Wish - A manly card

Its once a year that  I need to make a male Birthday card - for my Brother-In-Law ....  you may wonder about the child and his  birthday -  yeah no he  does not get a card from me  - he gets a present instead!

For this card I used the new Cartographer Collection - designed by our dear Frank for Prima Marketing - its a great manly vintage collection.  Laser cut chicken wire chippies and the hot air balloon are actually from an old Kaisercraft collection - Up UP and Away. The Flowers are from Petaloo Mulberry Collection, and the Dazzler Collection that I have been hoarding and now time to use! The word wish - is used from the Authentique collection Halloween Enchanting Collection 

I have used the new with the old again - allowing me to play with new goodies and destashing as well - that is a great feeling! 

Until next March for another  manly card ! 

Moments

Birthday  moments are ones  to be shared with  family and friends -  and   everyone enjoys getting happy  birthday  mail - so I have been working on my stash of  cards and having especially birthday ones available   - to send out  - to make  the  day a  little more special !
The papers are from  Studio 75 Vintage Memories , with flowers from my stash and Flying Unicorn Adornments.

 May your birthday be filled with many happy hours 

and your life with many happy birthdays. 

Wishing you a day that is as special in every way as you are.
