Hi and welcome, everyone! Today I am so very lucky to be celebrating a very special birthday by participating in this 50th Birthday Bash Blog Hop.
The owner of CAS-ual Fridays, Michelle, is celebrating her 50th Birthday with a big bash and I've created three super simple cards to honor her big day.
You should be landing here from the very talented

I started with the adorable SOMEBUNNY Stamp Set and stamped the balloons on colored cardstock, the sentiment on a light gray cardstock using Versafine Onyx Black Ink, and that adorable bunny is stamped on #80 Neenah Coverstock, colored with Prisma Pencils and Copics. I die-cut the bunny and balloons using the coordinating dies, BUNNY Fri-Dies. I embossed a piece of #80 Neenah coverstock with clouds, added a silver thread to the balloons, adhered all the pieces using 3D mounting foam to the cloud embossed card panel, finishing off with clear sequins and adhere this to a 4.25" x 5.5" card base cut from #110 Neenah Coverstock
I created the second card using an "older" die from CAS-ual Fridays, any link die would work. Using #80 Neenah coverstock I do partial die-cutting with the link die, I die-cut orange, pink, turquoise, and black cardstock using the same die. Using Versafine Onyx Black Ink I stamped the sentiment from the WHOLE SHEBANG Stamp Set onto the cover stock I partially die-cut. Using 3D mounting foam I alternate the colored cardstock in the link die and finish off with matching enamel dots. I adhere this to a 4.25" x 5.5" card base cut from #110 Neenah Coverstock
For the third card, I stamped those cute birds from the LITTLE BIRDIES Stamp Set on #80 Neenah Cover stock using Memento Ink Tuxedo Black and colored with COPICS and added a little shimmer with a Nuvo Shimmer Pen. Using the coordinating dies, BIRDIE Fri-Dies, I die-cut the birds. Stamped the sentiment using Memento Ink London Fog onto #80 Neenah Coverstock popped this panel up off a 4.25" x 5.5" card base cut from #110 Neenah Coverstock using fun foam, added the birds and second sentiment (stamped on a banner) using 3D mounting foam, finished off with enamel dots.
Notice a theme here? Yes, all three cards were created using the colors from the CAS-ual Fridays packaging!
As always, thanks for joining me and have fun. Please be sure to hop over to the CAS-ual Fridays Blog and wish Michelle a very Happy Birthday!

All 3 cards are spectacular! Thank you for sharing how you created the link card. I wouldn't have thought to do partial die cutting to make a border, but now I want to go look and see if I have any dies this would work on.
ReplyDeleteSuch fun cards!! I love the bird card. Sweet that the colors match the CASual Fridays logo!
ReplyDeleteThree wonderful and fun birthday cards! Love the colors that you used! I love the way you stamped the background on the birds card!
ReplyDeleteI love the colors and I love all 3 coordinating birthday cards. Your bunny is wonderful and the birds too in the coloring dept. Your 3rd card with the partially cut die is amazing! :)
ReplyDeleteI like all of them but I like the bunny the most. I think using other stamps and dies outside of their "normal" Holiday uses is very creative and that's why I enjoy it so much. Thank you!
