Happy Birthday, Jessica

Here's a birthday card and gift I put together for my Sister-in-Law, Jessica.

The 3 x 3 cards were one of the make & takes from Convention 2009.  I thought she'd enjoy these little note cards.

Below is a photo of wrapped Hershey nuggets in a hinged tin.  I stamped the "chocolate" image on Avery Mailing Labels (size 8160) and wrapped each one. 

This was a personalized, fun, easy, and inexpensive gift to make.  Sometimes, you make something and it's almost too hard to give away.  This was one of those gifts.  

Count 'em ... 1, 2, 3, 4

I love the result of this clean and simple card (CAS).  The ironic thing is that it took me 4 stamp sets to achieve this look. 

Anyone care to guess what 4 sets I used?  Find out at the end of this post (no peeking!)  HINT:  These little party hats are meant to be "worn" on another part of the body.

Splitcoaststampers was where I found inspiration for this card.  The CAS challenge for today was to create a birthday card.  If you've never created a clean and simple card, I highly recommend trying it out. 

To date, I think my best cards have been what I call Kwik & Kool. 

Short post for today because I want time to browse my catalog.  I have yet to press the order button because I'm trying hard to choose only the items I REALLY love.

Happy Birthday, America!

Marching to the beat in red, white & blue is this simple patriotic card.

The card base is done in Brilliant Blue, designer series paper is from the Jackpot collection, and that fun "American as apple pie" image is from the Tart & Tangy stamp set. 

Speaking of red, white & blue - Have you seen the Country Living Cook Out Kit yet? 

The colors fit perfectly with the 4th of July theme.  However, this would be fantastic for any fun food gathering you have planned for the summer.

Voilà

I have added a new stamp set to my collection ... called Voila. 

This fun chef has a platter that can hold just about anything.  You can see the full set at the end of this post - also note that there is an extender set for purchase called "Voila to Go" (item #11504).

For my card, I used the Tart & Tangy set to put a giant apple on his platter.  Thought it would add a bit of whimsy and would also be a fun birthday card for a teacher.  NOTE:  When stamping - you have free reign to stamp however you please.  I realize this apple isn't proportional in size to Mr. Chef, but that's what makes it fun! 

I'll be celebrating my own birthday on July 5.  Every year, it's like 4th of July fireworks are going off just for me.  :)  Hope you have a great holiday weekend.
