Quick Birthday Cards

Oops... I missed our nephew's birthday... He turned 8 last Wednesday. If it had been an adult birthday, I have tons of cards that I keep on hand. But children's cards are so much harder for me to create and I tend to make them as I need them. I quickly made this card. I had an idea of what I wanted to do but wasn't too pleased with the end result.

But the card had to go out so I finished it up and it will go in the mail today. I bought this big cupcake stamp with the intent to use it for another birthday card I have to create in March. The candle is part of a set of thickers I have and I was thinking of the big number candles you can put on your cake.

All the stamps are Hero Arts. The inks are Memento Dandelion and Pear Tart.

The second card is for our niece who has a birthday this week too. She is going to be thirteen. Another age where you wonder what would they like on their cards. I verified with my 12 going on 13 year old whether this was okay.

I never know what to do with the chandelier stamps and thought I would use it with black glitter. I hope she enjoys this.

All the stamps are Hero Arts and the background is lavender fields glimmer mist. The black embossing powder with glitter is Zing. I was a little disappointed in the effect of the black glitter it wasn't very glittery. More of a dark black with an occasional sparkle.

Thanks for stopping by..
