BCG Wk 38 Celebrating Birthdays

This weeks theme for the Blogger's Challenge Group was Birthday Cards (any kind for any age)

I had a card that we made for my Stamp Club meeting already done but since it was a pretty much cased card from Northwoods Stamper on SCS http://splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/802078?cat=12324 I decided to do another card but am posting both cards.

Card #1 Uses (Birthday Whimsy) from the Sale-a-bration catalog.

Card stock used: Tempting Turquoise, Chocolate Chip, Old Olive, Whisper White and Bali Breeze Designer Paper.

I stamped the (Sanded BG) stamp with TT ink on the TT card stock. Then I stamped the birthday cake image with Old Olive and colored the flames in with Pumpkin Pie and distressed the edges with CC ink then mounted it onto a square of PP card stock & distressed the edges with the Cutter Kit. I layered a piece of the Bali Breeze DP on the Old Olive cs and added a strip of CC pierced and added 3 TT brads. I stamped the cake image again using Chocolate Chip CRAFT ink and Clear EP then cut out the cake and mounted it over the olive cake with foam dimensional tape.

Card #2 Uses (Birthday Whimsy)

Card Stock: Chocolate Chip, Ruby Red Textured, Old Olive, Whisper White and Designer Paper from DCWV(Die Cute With A View). I pierced a piece of Old Olive and layered that onto my RR textured card stock leaving a space between that and the designer paper. The corners were rounded with a small corner rounder. My cake was done the same was as in card one. I did use Nestabilities to cut out my circle and scallop for this card. I also embossed the sentiment and added Olive and Not Quite Navy brads to the sides and a piece of the Chocolate Chip PolyTwill ribbon at the bottom of the card.

If you have questions on how these cards were made feel free to e-mail me.
