Today is not only my birthday, but also the birthday of my team members Gaylyn Pantana and Cindy Watson - how cool is that? It is also the birthday of the husband of my downline Darlene Crockett, my sister's Aunt-in-law and several other people that I know. Wooo hooo for May 30th - Geminis unite!
Having said all of that, I wanted to share the birthday cards I made for Cindy and Gaylyn - they should have received their cards in the mail yesterday so this won't be a spoiler.
Gaylyn loves anything vintage so I just had to use Elements of Style for her card. I CASE'd my Card of the Month club card, but changed the color to Elegant Eggplant and the cardstock to Very Vanilla. I really love this card layout - so easy to duplicate! The Square Lattice texturz folder adds such a nice touch, too, and who can't resist using the gorgeous satin ribbon from the Summer Mini with this elegant card?!
For Cindy's card I wanted to use the new Posy Party builder wheel in the Summer Mini. I opted to use this one alone and just inked it up on my regal rose ink pad. The wheel guide and grid paper really helped me keep this narrow wheel straight across my cardstock! The fun, springy colors of this card (chosen from my color coach) just screamed spring and I realized that the flower image from Cheep Talk matched one of the flowers in the wheel - love when that happens! I inked the birdie and branch using bashful blue, certainly celery, chocolate chip and pumpkin pie - all colors that are thankfully staying with us. To "color" in the birdie's wing I used my 2-way glue pen and dazzling diamonds... every girl needs some bling on her birthday card! The Happy Birthday sentiment is from Bitty Birthday and I finished off the card with certainly celery 1/4" grosgrain ribbon.
Thanks to everyone who participated in my Debbie's Stampin' Bucks promotion earlier this month in honor of my birthday! The redemption order has been placed and will be arriving shortly - wooo hoooo!
Have a wonderful Memorial Day tomorrow with your friends and families and thank you for stopping by today!!
