Hello... Birthday Boy


So, the sentiment on this card was inspired by the fact that my 13 year old son, Cade, has had a number of friends with birthdays lately, and I haven't felt that we've had any cards appropriate for them...

Well, as long as I can hold on to a few of these cards until next year at this time,
I'm going to be all set!

We'll just have to see how that goes......

In addition, my Dad's birthday is today...  My family gave him this card as a part of his birthday celebration earlier this weekend - even at 73, he's still the "birthday boy" :).

Ok, enough about me and my family, on to our card....




We start our card with a Whisper White card base, then added a layer of the new Sale-a-Bration Wildflower Fields Designer Series Paper.  You can earn this paper for FREE with a qualifying $50 order now thru March 31 as a part of the awesome Sale-a-Bration benefits!!  

Basically, every time you spend $50 now thru March 31, you get to select a FREE Sale-a-Bration item out of this awesome Sale-a-Bration brochure.  Spend $100, and you can select 2 FREE items; spend $150, and you can select 3 FREE items, and so on....

Next, we added a layer of Lost Lagoon card stock and popped a Regals Candy Dot on the corner of this piece just to give our card some texture.

We also added a 1" strip of Blackberry Bliss card stock that we flagged the end using our Banner Triple Punch.  This punch also works on 1 1/2" and 2" strips of card stock (hence, the "triple" part of the punch's name!).

Banner Triple Punch  138292  $23.00



Finally, we stamped "hello - birthday boy" in Blackerry Bliss ink.  These stamps can be found in the new (FREE) Sale-a-bration Stamp Set, Hello.  This stamp set is only available for a limited time - just until February 15.  There are two other items that have limited availability as well - the "Sky is the Limit" Stamp Set and the Perfectly Artistic Designer Series Paper.

You can see all of those items on pages 16-19 here.

This sentiment was die-cut with our Oval Framelits and added to our card with Dimensionals.
