Happy Birthday Aliza!
A pretty pink plaid birthday card using Stampin' Up products Plaid Tidings, Piece of Cake, Stampin' Blends, Wrapped in Texture, In Color Enamel Dots and Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon. This card also uses a sketch from Operation Write Home.
This weekend my neighbor Aliza turned 5 years old! It has been a very exciting week leading up to the big day. It was announced every day to me in the backyard over the fence so I wouldn’t forget. She was going to the beach for the weekend to celebrate. I know she, her parents, and her big brother Trace had a wonderful time. In honor of her birthday I created this simple, but fun, card in her favorite color…PINK!
I used a sketch from Operation Write Home as a foundation but did a little free-lancing. I used some pink plaid, and why wouldn’t you for a 5 year old girl’s birthday card, and some cool enamel dots in, you guessed it, pink!
The angle in this photo highlights the dimension I achieved using one of the Wrapped in Texture embossing folders as well as shows off the coloring I did using Stampin’ Blends. Don’t forget the fussy-cutting on did on the Happy Birthday sentiment. Only the best for Aliza!
I also used my Melon Mambo Stampin’ Blend (light) to color the Whisper White Crinkled Seam Ribbon pink to coordinate with the card. And I always insist on a coordinating envelope. Here I used some of the excess designer paper and added it to the flap of the envelope. Don’t tell Aliza, but I’m adding five-one dollar bills in the card…one for each year. I can’t wait to give it to her!

Colorsplash #3: Wishing you the happiest of birthdays.
I took part in a Colorsplash Challenge which required the use of 4 colors: Poppy Parade, Flirty Flamingo, Balmy Blue and Night of Navy. Those colors and a new stamp set led me to this fun birthday card. Loving how the design shows off the texture of the embossing done to the Balmy Blue cardstock. #colorsplash3
At this angle you can see the cool stitching on the rectangle die and the rhinestones.
I couldn’t forget the inside of my card. A simple and bright message in Poppy Parade.

Keepin’ it crafty!
This calls for confetti!
Today I have a fun birthday card using silly and bright colors. This is a great card for kids or adults.
Here’s an angle view showing off the dimension of the layers and the pretty rhinestones.
I always try to decorate the inside of my card to coordinate with the cover. This is also a great way to use up your designer paper. Let’s not hoard it but use it…to make room for the new paper when it comes out.
I also find another way to use up the extra paper is to decorate the envelope. Remember, no naked envelopes!
I hoped you enjoyed today’s card. If you are interested in getting the supplies go ahead and look at the product list below.
