Family Birthday Cards

Here are a couple of birthday cards that I sent to my brother and niece who live in Sweden.  The first has no stamping and the second card has loads and loads of stamping. This was the first time I used letter and numbers stickers on a card too.  I've been inspired by all the cards Kristina Werner makes with them. 

This card uses patterned paper and vinyl stickers from Scenic Route.  The card stock base is tempting turquoise and the ribbon is SU.  I like this card sketch (it is from the CTMH catalog) I will definitely use it again.

 

This second card was made for my niece Anabelle who turned 2 at the beginning of October and the monkey theme is quite appropriate, right Doc?

 

This card uses the retired SU set Monkey Business (thanks for the loan, Dawn).  The card base is whisper white, and the main panel is barely banana matted onto chocolate chip c/stock.  The stickers are American Crafts.  Ink colors are chocolate chip, garden green and summer sun.  This card made great use of my Stamp-a-ma-jig.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
