Happiest Birthday Wishes

Calypso Coral is the 5th and final new In Color.  Gorgeous!  For this card I first ran it through the Big Shot with the Flower Garden embossing folder.  Then I used the white ink pad to distress over the top of the flower and all around the outside of the card.  I also added some Dazzling Diamonds glitter to the insides of the flowers using a two-way glue pen.  The white card stock that backs the 'Happy Birthday' was done using the Perfect Details Texturz Plate.

  Here's a couple more of the new In Colors -- Lucky Limeade and Island Indigo.  I'm liking all of the new In Colors!  The new Lace Ribbon Border Punch is also quite awesome - I can see many future projects that include using it!  The 'birthday' flower was made using the 1" Circle Punch, the Scallop Circle Punch and the 2 3/8" Scallop Circle Punch.

YUM!  Two of the new In Colors are Wisteria Wonder and Pool Party.  LOVE 'EM!  I also love the new printed designer brads and ruffled ribbon.  The greeting is from one of the new Hostess Sets.  The hostess program is all new!  Check out more by clicking on the catalog in the side bar. There are lots of new and exciting things!

Sunny Fun

I made this cute invite for my Primary Class party. 

The stripes are for the boys and the flowers are for the girls.  Not necessary, but fun since the paper was so stinkin' cute! 

My sister reminded me of the idea to just stamp a solid or semi solid stamp over an image so you don't have to color it in.  So much faster and still very cute!
