Bike Birthday Card

The bicycle is from CTMH's August special stamp set, "It's Your Day."  I like the simplicity of this card and that it's a little masculine.  I don't make many "boy" cards, so it's good to have a few on hand.  I used some black opaque gems for the center of the wheels to add some dimension and interest.  The background is CTMH Desert Sand cs embossed with my Cuttlebug for almost a leather look.

Avonlea with It's Your Day

I used CTMH's "Avonlea" paperpack for this biking themed birthday card.  I paired it with the "It's Your Day" stamps--this month's constant campaign and added a little Ruby ink.  It looks flat in the picture, but the tag with the bike and "Happy Day" are raised on dimensional adhesive.

Typeset Birthday Card

I really like the new Typeset paper from CTMH.  This time I used it for an old fashioned looking birthday card.  I paired it with the All You Need Is Love stamp set.  The outside sentiment is a little hard to read in the picture.  It says, "Just living is not enough..."

The inside says, "one must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower. --Hans Christian Andersen"

"Happy Birthday" is from the stamp set Card Chatter-Birthday.  The stamps were all colored with copic markers, but everything else is CTMH.
