1st Birthday for a Baby Girl

Today's post is a card I made last month for my cousin's daughter who celebrated her 1st birthday.  The invitation was so adorable with the frog on the lily pad (when I find it I will post it).  When I saw this (Mr. Froggie) created by Debbie Henderson I knew that was going to be the card.  It was a lot of fun using all the punches to create this cute card.


Enjoy your day!

Today's card is a swap card that I made when I attended Terri's team meeting earlier this week.  It was an awesome meeting and I thank Terri for inviting me.  Later this week I will be posting some of the other swaps that I received at the team meeting.

Today's card can be recreated in so many different shades by changing the cardstock and combining it with a patterned Designer Series Paper.  Did you know that this month Stampin' Up! is having a promotion - buy 3 packs of Designer Series Paper and get a 4th FREE.  You can take advantage of this offer by placing an order on my website:  www.scrapsnstamps.stampinup.net or you can email me directly at abay12@verizon.net and I can include your order with my next order.


I CASE'D this card from a card that I saw on Anja's blog "scrappietoo" a long time ago.  She did not use any Stampin' Up! products so I recreated it using ALL Stampin' Up! products and changed it slightly.  I will try to find the original and post the link so you can see the similarities and the changes.  I really love to re-create cards by other paper crafters where there are no Stampin' Up! products used so that I can re-create them using all Stampin' Up products.  If you follow my blog you will find another card using the Chic Boutique stamp set (Eiffel Tower) from which I CASE'D a card by Amy Rohl "ink about me" using only Stampin' Up! products as well.
