Summer Afternoon Birthday Wishes

Yeah!! Got my new box delivered from the UPS man. This swing stamp is actually from a hostess set - Summer Afternoon. The happy birthday is from the itty bitty banners stamp set, cut with the bitty banners framelits. The petals a plenty EF and the itty bitty shape punches are not new - but they are to me : ) Cardstock colors used: cajun craze, pacific point, so saffron, watercolor paper. The ribbon is daffodil delight. Used markers and blender pens on the swing and accented with modern label punch with itty bitty flower shape.

Thanks for looking!

Pinwheel with Love

This was actually my first attempt at the pinwheel - prior to the previous pinwheel birthday card post.  To make the pinwheel you just start with a triangle (I cut a 2 1/2" square in half); then fold over the inside edge of each triangle and glue it to a circle in back. Then cover the front seems of the 4 triangles with a decorative brad, button, or stamped circle.  It is not my favorite card of all time - but the pinwheel is cute.  And of course I used the bitty banners framelits again :-)  I need to try and diversify!
