Summer Birthday Cards

For this sailboat little boy birthday card, I used the stamp set Birthday Boy and Caboodle B&T papers with Sorbet and Buttercup CS.  The Tiny Tab at the top says "happy."  I added glitter in some of the circles of the Caboodle paper and the lettering, but it doesn't show up in the picture.

The duck on this card is from one of my favorite sets, Makin' Waves.  The fish are from Hook, Line, & Sinker, and the sentiment is from Fringed Phrases.  The Crystal Blue background CS was embossed in my cuttlebug, then sanded to show the CTMH white core.  Colors are Orange, Crystal Blue, Sweet Leaf, and Buttercup.  The fishes' eyes are tiny sparkles.

Snorkeling in a Daiquiri

The last of this series of cards. I'm ready to leave this theme. I used the Moon Doggie paper again with the Makin' Waves, Today's Date, and Surf's Up stamp sets. (The strawberry is the pineapple from the Surf's Up set, just upside down.)

Diving into a Margarita

The sequel to the rum runner card... Again, I used Moon Doggie paper and the Makin' Waves stamp set. I also used the Dainty set for the inside of the lime and Good Times for the "Party On" phrase. Cheers!

Swimming in a Rum Runner

This started as a birthday card, but I think it could be sent for a thank you, retirement, or just for fun. I used Moon Doggie paper, and three stamp sets: Surf's Up, Makin' Waves, and Hook Line & Sinker.

Makin' Waves

This duck, along with the waves and bubbles, is from the new stamp set, "Makin' Waves." I used Liquid Glass on the duck and Stickles on the life preserver. The Stickles made the ink bleed a little, and Jen (Obi Wan of stamping) suggested using Staz-On ink to prevent this.
