Hoppy Birthday Sophie

I made this card for my niece. I stamped some yellow gifts on the card in a pattern. Then I stamped two frogs in dark green and sponged them to color them in with a lighter green. Then I cut out the frogs. Okay that took awhile. After that I stamped two presents and cut one in half. Put the sitting frog on the long present and the jumping frog holding the small present. Stamped "hoppy birthday" cut it out and Tag Corner punched it, mounted it on blue and punched it again. Finally I tied a red ribbon and cut a wavy edge. I also colored the paper behind the wave with a yellow marker to make it stand out more.

You Take the Cake!

This is a birthday card for a friend of mine.

I stamped the light purple card with flowers and those little flourishes. Then I stamped the cupcake. This time with chocolate frosting! I did the colors by coloring the stamp with markers. Then I filled in the sprinkles and sponged around the cupcake. Cut out the cupcake and "tag corner" punched two corners. I stamped the stamp "you take the cake" with white on the dark purple and mounted the cupcake on that paper. I left room between the words and the cake to make a bow. Then I put the cupcake/word/bow piece of paper on 5 dimentionals to adhere it to the card. To give it the popped out effect. :)

We decided to put inside a Family update in a short poem and a photo. Below:

In Seattle’s misty shade
Violet her grand entrance made
On an early springtide day,
Now she crawls in merry play.

When Ginny sat with potty under
Her parents cheered in awestruck wonder
Talking day into the night,
Pink and princess her delight.

While rocky rills ‘neath foot were spurned
In the lab with lasers turned
Cells. His test were passed as planned;
Bens degree grows nigh at hand.

And Bri was crafting all about,
Sewing, baking, stamping out
Cards for you with Christmas joy;
Started by a baby boy.
