CARD INSIDE

For the inside I have used one of the balloons from the Party Balloon die cut.
Happy and Day is shadowed by off setting one of the die cuts.


I had several balloon cuts left over that I ran through an embossing folder.
Happy Birthday has been stamped in the same Razzle Berry ink and I have used the candle die from the Cupcake set.

Jumping right into Valentines!!


I believe that it's never too early to start working on the next holiday!
I always have great plans to get a head start and somehow I seem to fall behind!
This is such an easy card to make. I thought it would be sweet to tuck little love notes inside the mini envelopes! 
I have used the solid Heart Solid die along with the love you stamp from Serendipity. The colorful striped dp was used as the base layer and the "love doodles" on the red paper also work for stripes!

Another Quickie!


Need a card in a hurry?
The small Train Engine from Serendipity has so much detail that it really doesn't need any coloring. The Happy Birthday stamp is on SALE for $2!!
Serendipity also carries PRETTY PINK POSH dies!

Dina has created a multi-stamping flower set that has so much detail yet very easy to use!
The clear set has many options for creating wonderful sunflowers, leaves and combinations for bouquets.
For my card I have kept it very simple. The flower was stamped with two shades of yellow and a Kraft Ink. I used two different stamps on the leaves.
The sentiment that I used is also a part of this lovely set!
