Welcome back, crafty friends! Today’s card is for this week’s Paper Craft Crew challenge.
I’ll admit, I sat and pondered this sketch for quite awhile before settling on what I would do. And the card changed direction a few times. Here is what I finally landed on.
I used the Let’s Party Turnabout stamp and Yay for Birthdays stamp set from Concord & 9th, and Guava, Pineapple, Granny Smith and Cookie Monster inks and card stock from Taylored Expressions.

Hello all! This is a crazy month as we prepare for our daughter’s wedding on Oct 2! Plus, we just finished the annual Stamp-n-Storage Warehouse Sale. Add in other life happenings and I’m not sure where the month went. I wanted to share the card I made for my husband Brett’s birthday earlier this month.
I love polka dots. The Scattered Dots Turnabout stamp from Concord & 9th is quickly becoming a favorite in my studio. As are the new C&9 inks! I absolutely LOVE the colors. For this card I used Midnight, Aqua Sky, Stardust and Dove. The present is from the collaborative set Happy Birthday by The Stamping Village.
It’s been awhile sine I have done a shaker card, so I thought this would be a good time to tackle one. I used 1/8″ and 1/4″ hand held circle punches to created the confetti for inside the shaker.
It is a happy coincidence that my husband’s initials are BH. So I took the cut letters from the front and added them to the inside to personalize the card.
I hand wrote his name with a white gel pen. It added a fun touch to the inside of the card. I really should add to the inside of cards more often. I think it really makes them more interesting. What do you think about decorating the inside of cards?
