The Last of 2015

Yay! It is almost 2016 and I am still continuing with the train of birthday cards. This stamp set was a Christmas gift from my sweet mama. The little elephants in this set are precious. Here are the materials I used:

• Adorable Elephants stamp and die set by My Favorite Things
• Birthday Wishes paper pack by Echo Park
• Baby Bunting die cuts by Spellbinders
• copic markers- C1, C2, C3, C4, RV34, RV10
• memento ink- tuxedo black
• stampin' up! ink- passion pink
• coordinating ribbon

Happy New Year! Here's to 2016!

Birthday Wishes

My new crafting goody is a pack of watercolor markers. This was my first attempt at using them, but I think it turned out pretty well! Here are the materials I used:

• Zig clean colors watercolor markers
• Keep in Touch watercolor panels by Tayored Expressions
• birthday wishes paper pack by echo park
• coordinating ribbon

I'm hoping that I can get a few more birthday cards done over the next few days!!

It's Your Birthday...Have a Ball

Hehe! I love the AI ladies, especially the fitness ones. I know this is what I really look like at the gym! This will be perfect for one of the ladies I take zumba classes with. Here are the materials I used:

• Workout Stamp by Art Impressions
• Have a Ball stamp by Art Impressions
• Party hat embossing folder by Darice
• copic markers- (I'm sorry, but I completely forgot to record what I used!)
• coordinating ribbon 
• enamel dots

Birthday Balloons

The second birthday card of my birthday parade is simple in appearance, but actually tying those strings around the balloons was a challenge! Here are the materials I used:

• Balloon Dies by Paper Smooches
• birthday wishes paper pack by echo park
• Life Stuff Sentiments stamp set by Impression Obsession
• coordinating ribbon
• memento ink- pear tart

Sprinkled with Fun

Oh my goodness! I have spent the last month making several of the calendar cards for gifts. It took up a lot of my time, but now I'm ready to get back to making new cards. I've said this before, and I'm sure I will say it again, but I never seem to have birthday cards handy. So, get ready for a flow of birthday cards. This stamp came from a new set that I have been dying to use and it is begging to be a shaker card! Here are the materials I used:

• Donut You Know stamp set by Reverse Confetti
• regal rose ink by Stampin' Up
• paper- birthday wishes paper pack by echo park
• silver sequins
• coordinating twine

Well I hope there will be more to come soon!
