Mini-Slim Birthday Cake Notecards

Brandy shared with me these delightful cards made featuring patterned paper and using the Spellbinders May 2019 Large Die of the Month.  I love how she played with color and texture to create these cards.

 I especially like the soft colors, but all three are delightful.

Happy 111th Birthday - That's a Milestone Birthday Card!

My grandfather (who is preparing to celebrate his 96th birthday at the beginning of October, Lord willing) recently heard about Lawrence Brooks who will celebrate his 111th birthday soon.  Both my grandfather and Mr. Brooks are World War II vets and my grandfather wanted to send him a birthday card as requested in this news article.  My grandfather wondered if I had a special card? 

I, of course, did not have a card specifically to celebrate 111 years or the birthday of one with such a history.  So, I decided (with a little inspiration from my bestie, Brandy) to get out my Spellbinders May 2019 Large Die of the Month and make this special card for my grandfather to send to Mr. Brooks.  The background was created with my Brusho watercolor crystals and I think it simply makes this card!  I handmade the flag (forgive my wobbly hand, but I thought it made the card a little special) and the sentiment at the bottom was using my Simon Says Stamp Tilted Banners stamps and dies.  I hope Mr. Brooks knows how special he is! I definitely know how special my grandfather is to me.

A Delightful 60th Birthday Card - Milestone Birthdays Are the Best

Brandy broke out her Spellbinders May 2019 Large Die of the Month to make this wonderful milestone birthday card.  The die makes the card and in this case, what a delightfully beautiful celebration will this be.  A little sparkle cardstock and some pale flowers are such beautiful accents to the intricacy of the cake die cut.  So pretty!

A 90th Birthday Card for Mom

Milestone birthday cards are some of my favorite to make.  I think it is so fun when people mark these points in our lives - they are special and worth the effort.

I made this card to celebrate a friend's mother who was celebrating the big 9-0.  Couldn't resist the opportunity to use my Spellbinders May 2019 Large Die of the Month and some patterned paper from the stash.
