Another birthday card

I managed one more birthday card for the month.  This one is for my adult grandson. I used an alcohol ink background from my stash.  Hint: When you are making a mess with alcohol inks, make extras backgrounds for your stash. 

I used a new (to me) Spellbinders die for the frame and a sentiment die from Poppy Stamps.

I also made another card for a female relative who recently had surgery.  I used dies from Poppy Stamps for both the pinpoint background die and the sentiment.  I added a die cut butterfly and a hand cut frame from for the same glossy gold cardstock that I used for the sentiment. The card base is a very old mulberry cardstock.

Birthday cards

 I've managed to make 2 more birthday cards.  Actually, one was made 2 years ago.  I added the sentiment to make it a birthday card.  Here is the original card.  

The other card I made is for my adult granddaughter, so I made the sentiment and frame with a die and glitter paper.  The background is made with a die that cuts open areas in the cardstock.  I backed it with a background from my stash that was made with Twinkling H2Os.

Cards for men

 I have been struggling to create cards and have wasted a lot of paper, but finally made a couple of cards to mail to male family members.  The first is a simple thinking of you card, using an alcohol ink background from my stash.

The second card was made with an embossing folder with inked highlights. I wasted a lot of paper before settling for this birthday card.
