Throwback Thursday

 A little kitchen mishap has temporarily deterred my crafting this week so I am revisiting a series of birthday cards that I had created for a group of friends with birthdays in the same  month. 

These colorful birthday cards were made with my Stampotique birthday cube with candle.

I stamped the cakes and added the candles.  Using Copics, hole punched text, liquid pearls, scrapbook paper and rhinestones to embellish.  No two were exactly alike.  I raised the cake image with foam adhesive squares and doodled frames with Pitt pen and more color. The edges of the cards were treated with Distress inks.

I presented the birthday gals and guys with the cards in clear cellophane with a handful of Dove chocolates. The bags were tied with contrasting organza ribbon. 

The partiers were pleased with their handmade token gifts.

Making several at a time made it fun to make and fun to give.

  2. Ouch! Hope you heal quickly, Janet. Your revisited post is new to me, and what a marvelous idea! I love making cards ahead and having them on hand, but find myself spending a of of time making a bunch since I need both "boy" and "girl" cards. Making a batch of such versatile cards as these makes it simple. Definitely will order that stamp! Thanks for sharing!
