When God closes a door

 

Love the sentiment on this card, 

and the inside verse is Never, never, never give up.  

I stamped the birds in black ink and then stamped one of the birds in red. 

I fussy cut the red bird and glued it over top of the black bird. 

My card base is Kraft paper. I used black so it would make the white layer show up nicely. 

All it needed now is a olive colored sheer ribbon. 

Clean and simple card, but elegant. 

Stamps are from Zoar and Stampin Up 

Paper from My stash 

Ribbon is Sheer Olive Green 

Have a delicious birthday

Hope you enjoyed those really nice days we just had. I was wondering if that was our Indian Summer Days. Well, lets hope not because we could use a few more nice days before that cold weather comes.

On to my card.

I need a birthday card, so why not make one.

I thought turquoise, mambo melon and black would look great together.

I love the turquoise and mambo melon together.

Isn't the border of hats and presents cute?

It is a Martha Stewart border punch.

And the first time to use it, too. 

I like it and hope to use it again real soon. 

I am not to fond of the cake stamp, but it worked. 

Love the sentiment stamp. I got it from The Stamp Pad in Zoar, Ohio.

If you need to know who makes it, let me know, I will check my stamp and see what company it comes from and let you know.   

That's it for now. Hope to see you in a day or two with a few more cards.

I am working on my next Card Class which is in a couple weeks.

Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Birthday Cake

Love this DP, it is fabulous for this birthday card. I thought at first the black wasn't bright enough for a Birthday Card, but I think it looks okay. At the bottom of the DP there was 3 presents, so I cut one out and glued it to the inside of the card. Made the inside of the card look cute. Anyway, the words are from Clear Stamps. Not sure where I got the cake from. But it worked perfect in the center of my scallop circle. I colored the cake with the sparkle markers and it was so glittery and cute.
