What better way to celebrate a birthday party than with cake!

For my first card I used the stamp called Celebration Bear. I make a lot of birthday cards and this bear is perfect for any age. I absolutely love the fun sentiment with this set.


I used paper from We R Memory Keeper Hip Hip Hooray collection and paper pieced the balloons with coordinating paper. I also added the YUMMY White Sugar Gum Drops.


Inside the card I added a fun sentiment from What Sentiments One set.



Now that the cake is finished, let's toast to a fabulous birthday celebration!

For my second card I used the set called Martini Birds. I had a lot of fun with this set and went very girly with my pink drink. This is a great set and with the fun sentiments you can create a fabulous cards for a number of occasions.


I did a bit of paper piecing on the drink umbrella. For the Martini I added Wink of Stella (clear) for a bit of sparkle and Glossy Accents for dimension.


Inside the card I masked off the image to stamp each of the birds, adding the swirls and two of the fun sentiments that come with this set.
