Birthdays and More Birthdays!!!

It seems that if I'm not making thank you cards I'm making birthday cards. I would still have to say I send out more thank you cards than I do birthday cards and the Christmas cards still hold the number one spot for most cards!

I had some pieces of decorative paper left over so I thought I'd make the birthday card I needed with it. Figuring out the colors was easy for a change. Not hard to do when the background paper only has two colors in it!!

I used the Stampin' Up! "True Friend" set for the flowers on the vanilla piece and I stuck with the two color theme. From the Sale-A-Bration book I used the "So Many Scallops" set. That's a pretty fun set to play with. Too bad it won't be in the fall catalog.

I used the Groovy Guava ink pad on the scallop stamp and then colored in the words with the Chocolate Chip marker. I added a little Dazzling Diamonds to the flames. The words came from the "It's Your Birthday" set. I punched out the center of the scallop with the 1-3/8" round punch and then punches out the scallop using the 1-1/4" circle punch and then lined up the scallop punch and punched it out. I affixed the scallop over the vanilla piece and affixed that on top of the vanilla top layer.

The measurements for this card are as follows:
1/2 sheet of card stock folded in half
5-3/8" x 4-1/8" Chocolate Chip
5-1/4" x 4" Decorative paper
2-1/8" x 4" Chocolate Chip
2" x 4" Very Vanilla

A very quick and simple card. I wasn't planning on such a simple and easy to make card. Isn't that nice when it works out that way? I made two!! One for display in my workroom and one to use. I do need to make more but I have some other stamps I want to play with!
