How would you feel if you received a birthday card with the ‘Happy Birthday, Gorgeous’ sentiment? It probably would make you feel good, wouldn’t it? The sentiment and image is from the Beautiful You stamp set. I embossed strips of Sweet Sugarplum card stock with the large polka dot embossing folder and then applied clear Wink of Stella. Of course, I used the Stitched Shapes …

This sentiment caught my eye immediately. After all, who’s not happy when they’re stamping and creating? Did you know that the T-Shirt Builder Framelits coordinates with the FREE …
Today’s card features the stamp set Helping Me Grow and the Celebrations Duo Embossing Folder. I also used the Delicate Details Sale-A-Bration stamp set for the border.

I’m not sure if …

Card Details Stamped image with VersaMark ink Poured white embossing …
