I Don't Make Enough Birthday Cards!

Human, oh, human!

I don’t know why I don’t share as many birthday card ideas as I do thank you card ideas. Everyone has birthdays! I guess I’m just a thankful dog.

Ann is going to a birthday party soon for a nice gentleman who is 80 years young. This card is not for him – or should it be?

What do you think? (We do have over 400 birthday card ideas here.)

It’s okay to have a bit of bling on a masculine card as long as it’s not too bling-y.

There are two things cool about this card I’d like you to notice:

The Painted Autumn Designer Series Paper is one of the featured DSP’s on sale. When you buy 3, you can get 1 free. (Just scroll down to see what DSP packs are available.
The Better Together stamp set is a set that has coordinating greetings for different holidays/events so we’re sharing what we did inside as well.

Even though we used the same card base color as yesterday’s card, the card looks totally different. They both have DSP and Cajun Craze with a shape, but they look totally different.

But isn’t it nice that we can get everything coordinating? I love that!

Card Making Tips

The leaf is stamped in Tangerine Tango onto Very Vanilla with the detail stamped over it in Chocolate Chip.
The strip across the bottom is just 1/2″ left over when we trimmed the 6″ down to 5-1/2″
You can only Buy 3 and Get 1 Free from the list of DSP’s and DSP Packs that are listed farther down in this post.

Now, if you were wanting to stock up on Fast Fuse while it was on sale for the World Cardmaking Day Sale until October 10th. The sale was so popular that Stampin’ Up! sold a few years worth of Fast Fuse in just 4 days!

They had to close it down because they couldn’t get more until December!

Not to worry! They’ll bring the sale back for another 5 days later when they are REALLY stocked up!
