Happy Birthday To You

This masculine birthday card was made with a couple different retired Close To My Heart stamps and a decorative making tape called Holiday Stripe from Tapeswell. The happy birthday stamp had some numbers that I don't get why they are there? Can you tell me? Any way here's some challenges I entered my card in....

{Caardvarks} Monochromatic Challenge

Seriously one day I will get better at photographing my projects! lol I made this card for a friend's birthday later this month. Hey Cheryl! Anyhow I thought I'd throw my name in the hat again for a final attempt with the {Caardvarks} challenge to make a monochromatic card. I used kraft cardstock as my base and a fun damask pattern from Pink Paislee. I stamped the Stampin' Up! sentiment in old olive ink and then heat embossed it to stand out a bit more, and added the fun ribbon. Ta da! I've had fun playing along with {Caardvarks} and sad to hear Jenyfur is ready to move on to something else. Perhaps something better soon!?! Check it out here.... http://caardvarks.blogspot.com/2010/12/our-final-challenge.html

You're a Star

The center tin was recycled from the end of a crescent roll package. I punched the star shape onto it then layered the paper star on top of it.
