Birthdays

So I have a couple of friends birthdays coming up this week and wanted to make them cards. Of course I'm NOT going to BUY them! Silly! The first thing that came to mind was the fabulous glimmer paper in the 2nd Release of Sale-a-Bration! I knew I HAD to have it as soon as I saw it. I love all the colors but think the Bermuda Bay is my favorite.  The sad part is, it's only available until the end of THIS month! I do hope they come out with more glimmer color. I like that it's in a 6x6 pack. It's like just the right amount!

Now let me get back to my thought process. I thought what better set to go with it then the Birthday Blast stamp set and edgelits! It's a new bundle in the Occasions. Page 11 in the catty if you're following along.
To me the burst just screams glimmer. What do you think? Here's a picture of the bundle. In the catalog they also show this "blast" on cards as well.

So here is my take using this set. I did CASE (Copy And Share Everything) from Pinterest. I did change it up a bit, but loved the look, I hope you do too. The background is the DSP (Designer Series Paper) called Cupcakes and Carousels. I think they have a nice "springy" feel to them. Plus this sheet I used is Bermuda Bay!

Here is a close up of that fabulous glimmer! The stars are what fell out when I die cut the burst. Nothing goes to waste!

I hope I haven't spoiled her surprise for posting this card before she gets it, but she's not a stamper, so the chances of her seeing my post are pretty slim.

If you'd like to get any of these products, you can shop my store HERE. Remember the glimmer paper is a Sale-a-Bration item, so if you want that, you'll have to spend $50 to get it!

Tomorrow I'll share the next birthday card.
