Few birthday cards I have made lately. Cute cupcake stamp is from Montarga. And as usual I have used papers from my favorite companies Cosmo Cricket, October Afternoon and Basic Grey. Thanks for looking..

Male Birthday Card

Here's card I made for someone in my family. I used Cuttlebug Diamond Plate embossing folder in the background, which I inked with some silver ink. Stamps are from October Afternoon and Tim Holtz. Image is from the web. I scrumpled that up and distress inked it.

More Cosmo Cricket

Hiya,
Ok so more Cosmo Cricket. I just love Cosmo Cricket! The Early Bird collection is fab, which I have used here btw. Stamps are from Hero Arts and Grant Archival. Butterfly punch is from Martha Stewart. I had a totally different layout in mind but stuffed something up so I ended up with this, which I quite like. Thanks for looking.

Another Cosmo Cricket Card

Hiya..this weekends card. Another b-day card using Cosmo Cricket paper and MS butterfly punch. Done inside as well this time.

Birthday Card

I made this card for my nephew who is turning 16. I'm not sure if I should have put the 16 on the card or not. I have to admit I struggle to make cards for boys/men. I also wanted to leave all sentiments off the front and just have them on the inside of the card. I have used Basic Grey paper as always, some grungeboard stars which I have inked and added some perfect pearls to.
