Births and Birthdays

I was having a little technical difficulty yesterday - maybe it was operator error, not really sure. I seem to be having better luck today but I have two cards ready for you since I didn't get one posted yesterday.

The first one is my attempt at a more masculine card. I know it has ribbon but I have a hard time leaving the frills off so this was the least frilly I could make a birthday card.
All Supplies Stampin' Up!: Eat Cake stamp set; Kraft, Basic Black Ruby Red and whisper card stock; Basic Black, Ruby Red, and Sahara Sand Stampin' Write Markers; black gingham ribbon.

I also struggle sometimes having a baby card be too "girl" so I tried to make this one not so "girl". I just love the wild wasabi, it is my favorite green. I find that I reach for it quite a bit and I realized that I hadn't posted many projects using it.
All Supplies Stampin' Up!: Nursery Necessities stamp set; Wild Wasabi, So Saffron and whisper card stock; Wild Wasabi and So Saffron classic ink pads ;Beachfront ribbon originals; Wild Wasabi double stitched ribbon; scallop punch; 1 3/8" and 1 1/4" Circle punch.

Bright Birthday!

Here is my newest creation. I love citrus colors but I don't always find myself reaching for them when I stamp. Sometimes it just takes a cute new stamp to remind me of colors that I love.

All Supplies Stampin' Up!: Tart & Tany and Eat Cake stamp sets; Green Galore, Only Orange, Yo Yo Yellow and Whisper White card stock; Green Galore, Only Orange, and Yo Yo Yellow Stampin' Write markers; Green Galore, Only Orange, and Yo Yo Yellow classis ink pads; White 1/4" grosgrain.

You can find the directions on how to make this cute box here. I can just see filling this little box with some sweet treats for happy birthday gift.

I have a lot to do today. I am part of a charity fashion show this afternoon which should be fun but will keep me away from stampin' stuff most of the day. I am glad that it is for a really good cause because if it wasn't it would be hard to leave the stamp room. Next post on Monday and there will be a couple of projects in that post with sale-a-bration sets. I just love sale-a-bration and we only have a few weeks left.
