So Suzy Stamps - Springtime Birthday Hugs

Hi everyone. I am sharing today another one of my favorite projects to create. My passport card.  Our theme this month over at So Suzy Stamps has been birthdays, so I made a special birthday card which would work great for a Mother or any special lady in your life.

I just love love love making these cards. They are so versatile and can work for so many occasions. I cry every time I sell one as they are each made with such care and personal touches.

This image called Anniversary Vintage Collage I had from Create with TLC and I used several of So Suzy Stamps throughout the card. I went with a Parisian birthday theme using an eiffel tower and Bonjour sentiment. I happen to already have an Eiffel tower stamp, but you can also find one in So Suzy's store in her Paris Collection.

I love her sentiments. They are just the right size. I really like the smaller sentiments. They are perfect and do not take over in your project, but are added elements when creating. Don't be afraid to try unique/different stamps. One might wonder how to use the sentiment Breathe, but this is my second design I have used it in. It is a creative way of saying relax and enjoy! 

 As you can see I also added washi tape, a punch out butterfly and some rub on's from Tim Holtz. I always add some sort of tab on the middle panel. It is a fun way to turn to the next page. 

Now these cute little girls get a lot of stamping. It is one of my favorite stamps from Penny Black called Sisterhood. As you can see I added another Parisian element in the corner using the Paris Post Mark.

And of course you MUST always decorate the backside of your passport card. 

Well, I hope you like my card. Don't forget there still are a few days left to play along in our birthday theme'd challenge. Don't forget you can also follow me on Pinterest, Facebook and Twitter for more fun inspirations.

A birthday month for my Moms

It's Sunday afternoon and I have been doing laundry and packing. I am getting ready to hit the road for the next three weeks, coming home only on the weekends. As a consultant, my job requires me to visit clients, so it is part of the job. But when I am on the road, the rest of my world seems to stop. I don't get to make cards, I do not write in my blog as often as I would like to, and I don't participate in card challenges. It makes me a little sad, but a girl has to make a living. I often tell my husband that I wish card making was my job, but if it was, perhaps I would not enjoy it as much as I do. I thought I would enter one last card challenge, before I hit the road tomorrow. My Mother and Mother in Law both have birthday's this month. So in honor of them, I will submit this Tri Fold Mother card into the following challenges:

• CD Sunday Challenge Blog - Butterflies
• Challenges for Everybody - Anything Goes
• Scribble and Scrap - Always Anything Goes
• 2 Sisters - Anything Goes
