Greetings Friends. Today we are going to focus on birthday cards. After all, who doesn't need birthday cards on hand? For both of the cards, I used a new stamp set called Can Can Candles. It is a lot of fun and looks like this:

For the first card, I matched it with the Grunge paper pack, which frankly looked like a party to me:

I colored the images with Copic markers with the Inside Out Square Frame die. I thought the stitches served as a nice frame from the dancing candles.

For the second card, I used paper from the new Stars and Stripes paper pack. It has papers that work well for patriotic cards as well as more subtle designs that work well for general occasions. I love when things are practical:

I colored the cake with Copic markers and added a bit of "glow" around the candles with yellow chalk. My brads weren't quite the color I wanted, so I colored the tops with Navy Sharpie marker.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!
