It really is birthday season here.  Hannah seems to have a party every weekend this last month.  (Hmmm - doing the 9 month maths, Christmas bubs???)

I've been enjoying making girly birthday cards using my trusty Best Friends Alphabet and embossing gear.

The Recipe:

Stamps: Best Friend's Alphabet and One Of A Kind (Spring Mini)

Inks: Perfect Plum, Pale Plum

Papers: Pretty In Pink, the Plums, Very Vanilla and some retired patterned paper

Other: Embossing gear, Boho Blossoms punch for the flowers, circle and scallop punches and some dimensional foam tabs.  Oh and some non SU rhinestones as I'm having a bit of a rhinestone phase!

I quite like the flowers from the patterned paper mixed with the stamped ones.  Do you?

Here is a card for a friend of the family who just turned 5.  (Oops and I'm a bit late posting it.  I really need to get a belated birthday stamp! It is in the mail Emma!)

The Recipe:

Stamp: Best Friend's Alphabet

Ink: Versamark for embossing

Papers: Pretty in Pink, Purely Pomegranate, Very Vanilla, Blush Blossom and Perfect Plum

Other: Circle and scallop punches, double stitched ribbon in Purely Pomegranate, and my embossing stuff.  And foam tabs to raise 3 of the letters.

Happy birthday Leoni and Emma!

Hope the ideas might come in handy for cards for some other little girls somewhere.

Cheers, Sue
