Birthday Cards

Tuesday I worked on lots of birthday cards.  My Grandma turns 90 next week.  She is SO good about sending birthday cards to everyone in the family...her kids, their spouses, her grandkids, their spouses, and the great-grandkids.  So...I thought it would be fun to restock her pile of birthday cards with 90 birthday cards.  The next several days I'll show you my creations for this project.  I tried to make two similar cards one masculine and one feminine.  I needed to make them all one layer cards because she mails most of her cards, and I didn't want her to worry about pieces falling off, etc.  Here are the first two cards that I'm sharing :)  I found this card sketch idea on Pinterest.

I see myself using this sketch quite a bit.  You could easily adjust for any season or occasion!  Order your supplies here.

Ink:  Daffodil Delight, Always Artichoke, Cajun Crush (ink pads and markers)

Leaves

Last week I needed several thank you cards so I quick put these together.  I'm loving the Triple Time Stamping technique as you've probably noticed.  After I stamped these cards, I think I'm good for awhile. :)

I love how the bold images work with this technique!  It's awesome :)  I added some spritz using the Color Spritzer tool and the Early Espresso Marker,  The More Mustard splatters were created using the AquaPainter.  Ever thought of adding re-inker to the AquaPainter and then tapping it on your finger to create splatter?  Oh, so fun!  Order your supplies here.

Cardstock:  Cajun Craze, Very Vanilla

Ink:  Cajun Craze,  More Mustard, Garden Green, Early Espresso Marker
