Extreme Guitar Birthday Gift Ensemble

Happy Birthday to me!  Happy Birthday to Me!  Yes, today is my birthday and Larry is taking me back to Orlando to visit Epcot!  Disney offers free admission to all their parks on your birthday!  Yahoo!

Not only is it my birthday, but it is also Holly's boyfriend's birthday AND his twin sister's!  What an awesome day! He is great guy and I wanted to do a little something for him so Larry and I got him an Itune gift card and I made a gift card holder and matching bag and card.

I cased the design from Dawn Olchefske.  She has a great video on her site here showing how to do the bouncing brayer technique.  It is easy and looks fabulous!

Gift Bag and matching tissue Paper

Birthday Card

I used the following Stampin' Up! products:

• Stamps:  Extreme Guitar (115328), Extreme Elements (115181)
• Paper:  Basic Black, Pacific Point
• Ink:  Versamark, Basic Black
• Accessories:  Brayer, Heat Tool, Black Stampin' Emboss Powder, Star XL Punch, Basic Black Brads, Basic Rhinestones, Stampin' Dimensionals, Snail Adhesive

The first Brayer I grabbed was not a Stampin' Up! product.  Notice the difference on the Gift Card (using the older brayer) vs. the other images stamped with our product!  What a difference!  It is no wonder I love Stampin' Up! so much!

Have a great day!

Sock Monkey Birthday Card

Good Morning!

What better way to start the day than with Sock Monkey!!!  I love Sock Monkey! I have Sock Monkey slippers, Sock Monkey PJ's, Sock Monkey clip-ons, and I collect almost every Sock Monkey I see.  The smallest one I have is actually a cat toy and is only a few inches tall and the largest one I have is about 3 1/2 - 4 foot tall!  Today's share is a birthday card featuring you-know-who...

I was inspired by the picture on page 83 of the IBC and used the following Stampin' Up! products:

Card Stock:  Daffodil Delight, Pacific Point, Wild Wasabi, Real Red, Basic Gray, Whisper White

Stampin' Write Markers:  Pacific Point, Real Red, Wild Wasabi

Classic Ink:  Basic Black

Punches:  Scallop Trim Corner, Scallop Trim Border

Accessories:  Basic Rhinestones, Stampin' Dimensionals, Snail Adhesive, Paper Snips, Color Spritzer Tool

Here is a picture of my Sock Monkey Slippers!  Aren't they cute!

Have a great day!
