It’s Party Time

It’s Party Time with this fun birthday present set and it coordinating thin cut metal die cut.
I paired it with a selection of other thin cuts - from the new tag, to the square stitched window and the stitched circles and the retired but still available lace border - one of my favorites 😍
Which one is your favorite?

Sunny Thoughts

This is a cute set full of fun sayings which pair perfectly with the flower images in the set or with other images that you already have.

The fun leaf vine border stamp makes a perfect background and the font of the saying make it perfect for feminine or masculine cards.

This is an adorable set with so much versatility.

Make sure you add it to your collection but don't wait - it is available on my website at sarabatkin.ctmh.com until February 28th 

Leo's 18th Birthday Card

Leo loved his birthday card - I can't believe my baby is 18 already!!! You blink and miss it.

Here I raided my stash of metal accents and large grey sparkles from the Halloween assortment.

Lots of Birlap ribbon and paper from the Frosted paper pack added pattern to the Desert Sand Base.

I dry embossed the Outdoor Denim cardstock accent peice.

I used the Cork numbers for more texture and the Colonial White color ready seam binding ribbon.

I was really happy with it - Hope you like it too 

Belated Birthday Card.

Here is a fun and very easy card featuring the Embedded Embossing technique.

I used White Daisy cardstock and added circles cut in Lagoon, Pear, Cotton Candy and Whisper cardstock.

Then I ran it through the embossing machine using the Dot background.

I used the Belated Birthday stamp set and stamped the cake in Lagoon Ink and the words in Slate and Black.

Flamingo Dots made perfect 'frosting' on the cake :O)

Birthday Card - Scholastic paper pack

A 17th Birthday card for my boy xxx 

It is only a year late in posting - but what the heck - it has taken me this long to find the photo of it LOL :O)

I used one of the 3 1/2 x 8 inch cards from CTMH as the base. 

Originally it had a  flap to it and it was too 'girly' for this card so I trimmed it down so that 

it had a nice straight edge.

I used some of the now retired Scholastic paper and added Outdoor Denim cardstock to the flap.

A smaller piece of paper was tucked under the cocoa ribbon and I took 3 Dinemsional Element Stars and inked them in Olive ink - then added a thin layer of pearl paint to the 2 smaller stars and added

Prisma Glitter to the large star.

I did the same with the Dimensional Element numbers.

I stamped the swirls in Cocoal and the sentiment in 2nd Generation Cocoa ink.

He loved his card - hope you do too :O)

'Piece of Cake' Birthday Cards

Okay I fess up - this is a retired stamp set and its retired paper - 

but I had so much fun making these over the weekend - I know so many of you bought the Claire paper pack when it was available and the Piece of Cake stamp set was one of the most popular birthday sets so off I went and spent an hour happily creating Birthday cards :O)

 Silver Shimmer Trim added some sparkle and the Hearts were a fun touch.

Hope you like them :O)
