Happy Birthday Lisa! x 2

Happy Birthday Lisa S and Lisa S! I have two extremely talented stamping friends who both have birthdays this month, and they are both Lisa's.  I created two different cards for each of them.

I had a hard time picking out what stamps to use for the first Lisa's birthday card, so I let the papers do the talking. There is this super fun paper pad called Wanted from Cosmo Cricket.  Gorgeous colors and designs on the papers. 
The papers basically designed the card and the sentiment is from a fun set from B Line designs which has the perfect sentiments. The card works for the Simon Says Stamp and Show your stars. (These stars are some favorites of mine and are almost all gone.) :(   They are from Christmas Trim that I purchased at the craft store.

The second Lisa is the one that introduced me to stamping.  Here is a cute card that I think she will like!


The images are from Crafty Secrets and I loved the sentiments and thought the Kewpie angels were adorable.   The circles were created with a mask and coloring the edges of the circle and pulling in the color with a water brush. Love how this turned out and definitely will be doing this again. :)

Lisa and Lisa, I hope your birthdays are wonderful!
