Hello Kitty! Happy Birthday!



My granddaughter is turning four and is a big fan of Hello Kitty!  I found a digi image of Hello Kitty and to add an element of surprise, I made a pop-up birthday cake on the inside of the card.

Big Top Birthday


Update:  My card was a Top 5 Pick in QKR Stampede Challenge #57--Flying High with Balloons.
 



 In September I have to make birthday cards for four of my grandchildren.  I went to a circus with one of my grandsons, so I thought a "big top" card would be perfect for his birthday!  I added some balloons and sparkly "stars" as embellishments.

Have a Ball on Your First Birthday!


Update:  This card was one of the "Top Fivers" in Eclectic Ellapu's "For A Boy" challenge.



My grandson loves playing with balls, so I thought I would design a card that featured balls for his first birthday.  I used a variety of balls that I found on the Internet as well as some embellishments.  He really enjoyed his card, and his mother used it as the centerpiece for his birthday celebration!

It's A Girl! (Gray and Pink)

     I recently bought a new Anna Griffin embossing folder that also has an embossing border included in the package.  The daughter of a friend of mine recently had a baby girl.  Her nursery is painted gray, so I thought I would make a gray card and use pink embellishments for accents as well as the embossing border as a belly band.  The flower die is from Memory Box and the stamp is from Stampin' Up.
