It's Day 2 of the STAMPlorations 13th Birthday Celebration!

 Hello and welcome!

It's day two of the

13th Birthday celebration at STAMPlorations!

I've created two cards today to inspire you:

My first card uses papers from the new Lavender Pocket Backdrops.

It's hard to see from this view, but I fussy cut the butterfly from

another sheet and adhered it over the first one with foam squares.

To add to the butterfly theme, I die cut the 

Flutter Zen 1 layering die, glued to the edge and

trimmed part of it off before matting the paper and

adhering to the card base. I die cut the Happy

Birthday from the Everyday Sentiments die set and

glued it to the bottom right corner.

For my second card, I used collage paper from the

Botanical Beats collage paper pack and die cut it using

the Crazy double running stitch nesting dies before

gluing to the card base. I also die cut a smaller rectangle

from kraft cardstock, then die cut that with the

Circles All Over Texture Plate. 

I colored one of the fabulous images

from the Big Birthday Cakes Colorables. These are nice

sized, large images that are printed on thick cardstock and

pre-cut! I stamped a sentiment from the

A Snarky Birthday to You stamp set, then adhered 

everything to the card.
