Birthday Balloons and More

-
Hello, I hope you are having a great day.  I am plugging away at birthday cards. I thought I would share 3 of them with you today.  Grab some Daffodil and Harvest Orange 3 Girl JAM ribbon and come and play along.


I must admit that this card was really easy to make and I had a lot of fun doing it.  Here's what I used along with the 3 Girl JAM ribbon:

Basic Grey - "Life of the Party" 6X6 paper pad and element stickers.
Adhesive
Blue cardstock cut at 5.5"X8.5"
Dusty Durango ink - Stampin' Up
Hero Arts - All Occasion Messages (inside sentiment)
Operation Write Home - Bonus Sketch #13 (Click here to get yours)

Now for the bonus cards...


If you look at the purple ones closely, you can see that the purple floral paper is slightly different on each of them.


Paper - Paper Trey Inc - Plum Pudding and Vintage Cream; My Mind's Eye - So Sophie 6X6 pad
Rich Razzleberry ink - Stampin' Up
Daffodil crinkle ribbon - 3 Girl JAM


Stampendous - Happy Messages (Happy Birthday sentiment)
Hero Arts - All Occasion Messages.  This is not pictured here, but on the third card I used this stamp set for the inside sentiment.  It said "Hello Friend".  Isn't it neat how a sketch can be tweaked just a little bit to make very different cards?

Operation Write Home's current throwdown challenge is to use your favorite color combination.  I love mixing purple and green.  Plus the "Hello Friend" card is going to OWH.  I plan to enter this challenge by clicking here.

I made a video that I hope you will enjoy.



Did you know that today is the last day to link up your "Pastel Colors with Ribbon" card at 3 Girl JAM?  Tomorrow we will start a new challenge.  I've seen some sneak peeks and there are some really cute projects coming.  Thanks so much for stopping by.  Remember to take some time to enjoy the little things today.

Welcome to my little contribution to the Operation Write Home Blog Hop.  I am so happy that you stopped by today.  This is the first time that I've participated in an OWH Blog Hop, but I have hopped to other blogs during these hops before.  I can't wait to see all the inspiration out there. Today, I have chosen the Bonus Sketch #12 to use with this hop.  It is a sketch that my daughter chose to have me make her thank you notes for graduation before I even knew the hop details.  What perfect timing!  Be sure to scroll down to the previous post for a full tutorial and to see my daughter's thank you note.  Same technique and sketch, but a totally different card. I used the following supplies: Operation Write Home Bonus Sketch #12 K and Company - Ancestry.com paper Memento Tuxedo Black ink OWH / Hero Art stamp Stampendous - Happy Messages stamp set Thanks so much for stopping by today. Remember to take some time to enjoy the little things.  Have a
