Masculine Birthday

Moon Lake is a great stamp set for those masculine cards that we all need.
My Stamp of the Month Class this month featured the Moon Lake stamp set. 
We made four fabulous cards that work great for those men in your life
but they also work for all the nature lovers that you send cards to.
Loon -- It's Your DayThe base of the card is Mossy Meadow with a layer of Whisper White that I stamped it's your day from the Fabulous Four stamp set.  I stamped the cat tails with Pear Pizzazz ink on a layer Pear Pizzazz that is mounted on another layer of Mossy Meadow.  I stamped the duck on Watercolor Paper and punched out with the 2 1/2" circle punch and mounted on a circle of Basic Black that I cut out using the Circle Collection Framelits.  I adhered to the card front with dimensionals.

Carbs Schmarbs!!

Who likes to count calories or carbs when it's your birthday!!!  So I say Carbs Schmarbs — eat the cake!!
Shaker CardHow long has it been since you made a shaker card?  It's been a long time for me so I decided it was time to have some fun.
Wednesday night was my Sale-a-Bration Celebration.  You had to earn an invitation to this exclusive party.  One of the gifts that everyone received was a package of Shaker Frames (oh no, they are retiring — get them quick before they are gone).
The Shaker Frames help make this card pretty quick to make.  I cut one of the Shaker Frame pieces into four chunks and put them on the back of the Smoky Slate cardstock going around the circle opening. 
I added a pinch or two of the In Color Sequins (yes, they are retiring too), added a second piece of Window Sheet over the Shaker Frame and Sequins and attached the layer to the card base.  So much fun — everyone enjoyed making this.
The stamp set is Amazing Birthday.

Elegant Birthday Butterfly

I love this color combination — Blackberry Bliss and Pear Pizzazz!!!
Butterfly BasicThis card features the Butterfly Basic stamp set and coordinating Butterflies Die Thinlit.

The base of the card is Blackberry Bliss with a layer of Pear Pizzazz cardstock.  The top layer is Whisper White and I started by stamping the ferns using Pear Pizzazz ink.  I inked up the ferns once and stamped it three times moving the stamp to the right a little bit each time.
Next I stamped the Happy Birthday using Blackberry Bliss ink.  Then I inked the border stamp once and stamped it twice.  I stamped the butterfly with Blackberry Bliss ink and cut it out with the coordinating thinlit.  I attached it to the card with dimensionals.  Tie a small bow in the Blackberry Bliss ribbon and Viola — card is done.
