Two Birthday Cards with Freshly Made Sketch #677

 Here are two masculine cards I made inspired by Freshly Made Sketch #677. The first uses washi tape stripes with a vertical gold embossed sentiment (Vertical Greetings from SU many years ago) and the second features banners and Friendly Seagulls (Stampin' Up Sale-abration special 2025) and SU Itty Bitty Birthdays.

Which do you like better?

I’m also entering this card into the following challenges:

     Creative Knockouts #542--Happy Birthday

     Seize the Birthday #301--Optional Topping--anything that flies

      Addicted to Stamps and More #488--Birthdays

     

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a wonderful week filled with fun and creativity!

Friendly Seagull Valentine Card with Try a Sketch on Tuesday #663

Valentine's Day was yesterday and I made a cute card for a friend who is going through a tough time.  I trust that it will make her smile for a moment.  I followed the sketch over at Try a Sketch on Tuesday and used up some of my Valentine paper scraps.  Tiny red foil hearts (which could be used as shaker card fillers) were glued to the circular panel.  

Here is the Try a Sketch on Tuesday sketch that inspired my card layout:
