I couldn’t help but make this card!

After I made a card for my brother’s birthday using the new FOAM ADHESIVE SHEETS and the PLAYFUL ALPHABET DIES, I knew that this would be a new project.

Inspired by all the cute and colourful fish swimming around on this WHALE OF A TIME DSP, I borrowed from Dr Seuss.

This birthday card was so much fun to make.

I also like to use a different colour card stock for the words – it makes the brain work a little bit harder.

And, I think that this would be the perfect gift to go with the card.

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping.

You can never have too many birthday cards on hand!

The HAPPIEST OF BIRTHDAYS STAMP SET is quickly becoming my ‘go to’ set for birthday cards.

The four, very different, greetings are perfect.

I will be able to make one for my sister using the HAPPY (little-bit-late) BIRTHDAY stamp, because I am always late sending her a card and gift!

The greeting I used for this card is perfect for a big background, whether it be a piece of DSP or, in this case, the STACKED STONE BACKGROUND STAMP.

To soften the stone image I stamped and coloured a flower from the PRIZED PEONY STAMP SET.

I tucked a piece from one of the SQUARE VELLUM DOILIES under the greeting.

To finish, I added some ELEGANT FACETED GEMS and some CLEAR WINK OF STELLA.

I’m very happy with this card. What do you think?

This is such a fun stamp set – I think the two retirees are so quirky.

I teamed the BEST PLAID BUILDER DIES and the PLAY WITH PATTERNS DSP to create a fun plaid background.

Then I used my STAMPIN’ WRITE MARKERS™ to colour the funny little man. His pants definitely needed to be plaid as well.

I can picture him playing golf, wearing those pants, during his retirement.

What do you think of my dapper dresser?
