Birthday Cards « Nikki Stalker

Birthday Wishes

I’m back today to share 2 more cards I made last year and again never took time out to photograph and share, but this time they are Birthday cards.

This first one is using one of my favourite sets from the current Annual Catalogue and it’s called Beautiful Bouquet. I love that Stampin’ Up are making more framelits to co-ordinate with their stamp sets as even though I don’t mind fussy cutting I would rather not be doing that with these images especially when you mass produce them.

I love this gorgeous bright colour combination. I’ve used Bermuda Bay, Daffodil Delight, Pear Pizzazz, Rich Razzleberry. All colours that will be staying.

My second card is using another Floral stamp set called ‘Bunch of Blossoms’ which has a matching punch.

This colour combination is Rich Razzleberry and Old Olive but looks good in many colour combinations.

Inspiration for these cards were found on Pinterest so I’m not taking credit as my original designs although I have made minor alterations to the original designs I saw.

You can purchase the items to make these cards in my online store.

Thanks for stopping by.
