Today I have two cards to share, both made with the Happy Birthday, Gorgeous Stamp Set.  This set has 32 pieces,  flowers, leaves and balloons plus 13 different greetings!  If you are looking for a set that covers most occasions this is the one for you!  Oh…. and there is even a ‘BELATED’ stamp – just to cover us for those little ‘whoopsies’ when dates escape us!

Both cards feature balloons and one the ‘Happy Birthday’ thinlet die that is available as a bundle with this set (saving a whopping 10% if you buy them together)

Card base: 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 Extra Thick Whisper White card ~ scored @ 4 1/4

Layer 1: 5 1/4 x 4 Whisper White Card

Layer 2: 4 x 2 Fresh Florals Designer Series Paper ~ Fresh Fig

Ink: Fresh Fig

The ‘Happy Birthday’ is cut from Fresh Fig card using the new die.  I covered it with Versamark ink and sprinkled clear embossing powder over it, then heated it with the heat tool then repeated the process to give me a lovely thick shiny surface.  A little silver glimmer paper balloon and we are done!

Here is my second card – with a bit more stamping!

Card base: 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 Basic Black Card ~ scored @ 4 1/4

Layer 1: 4 1/4 x 3 1/4 Whisper White Card

Layer 2: 4 x 3  Fresh Florals Designer Series Paper ~ Lemon Lime Twist

Ink: Lemon Lime Twist

Both cards use the Balloon Bouquet Punch and Whisper White Bakers Twine
