Happy Tuesday! I’m not sure why September seems to be one of my busiest birthday months, but every April and September I seem to be running behind in card making.
This is the other card I made while my husband was recovering from surgery. It was a secret card in case the intended recipient read my blog. It is being delivered today, so I feel safe in posting.
I am really loving clean and simple cards. I just love the simplicity and a little surprise element, like the red rhinestones. The cake and “Birthday Wishes” are embossed in chocolate embossing powder. I cut the card base from the Labels One nesti from Spellbinders. Added a little twine and this sweet card was done.
I also made a matching giftcard holder based on the Caardvarks sketch #1 challenge this week. I kept it in the same color family and used another Hero Arts stamp set for the sentiment. On the background I tried out my new Verve stamp using Versamark ink on the kraft cardstock.
