Welcome to our surprise birthday party blog hop the Stamper’s Dream Team and Kellie of JustRite Stamps have put together in honor of Michelle’s special day! If you’re hopping in order, you should have arrived here from Cindy’s blog. If you just now dropped in and you’d like see it all, you can start with Kellie.
You may know Michelle is the owner of Stamper’s Dream and she’s a pretty awesome person, too. How could we possibly let her birthday go by without a little special recognition? So, Michelle… this one’s for you!
I’ve used the Birthday Centers for the sentiment, and framed it with a border from the Seeds of Kindness set. This looks like a lot of to-do for one little ol’ sentiment, but I had the most fun making this card. The designer papers are some of my favorites – Memory Box Spearmint. The decorative border surrounding the sentiment is embossed in vanilla embossing powder, and the pretty Prima flower is nesting on foliage punched from the same paper. The large scallop border is made with a 1 3/8” circle punch, punched only half-way.
The next stop on the hop is Amy. She’s always got something fabulous going on over there.
Thanks for the visit! Happy birthday, Michelle! I hope you enjoy your card because it was made with much love for you!
