Happy Birthday Cupcake

Today's card is a clean and simple birthday card!

This card is being sent to the Albany Medical Center.  One of my fellow Totally Stampalicious Design team members is collecting birthday cards to give to the hospital where her son was recently treated.  The hospital will be using the cards she sends for the children on the unit that have to spend their birthday in the hospital.  I can't think of a better honor than to bring a smile to a sick child.

I used the layout from this week's Clean&Simple Stamping Sketch.

I added ribbon and used the Party theme for this week's CAS-ual Fridays challenge.

I'm including this in this week's Teapot Tuesday Challenge at Splitcoast Stampers.

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my card!

Clean and Simple Valentine

This week's challenge at Totally Stampalicious is to make a Clean and Simple card.  We want you to keep your layers to just a few.  I'm super excited for this challenge because I've been working on making more CAS cards.

Supplies:
Stamps:  Monkey Love, Whimsical Words
Paper:  Kraft, Baja Breezes, In Color Designer Paper
Ink:  Memento Black, Brown & tan Copic Markers, Black Sharpie, Poppy Parade
Accessories:  Corner Rounder Punch, Small Heart Punch, Scallop Trim Border Punch

I used the adorable Monkey Love stamp set from Totally Stampalicious for the image and sentiment.    I fussy cut the cute monkey out using my little Fiskars scissors.  I could use a bit more practice on the fussy cut technique but I do think it looks better against the red background this way.


For the layout, I enlisted the help of this week's CAS-ual Friday's challenge sketch.  You can find the challenge HERE or by clicking on the sketch image below.

I decided it would be fun to decorate the inside of this card too.  Here's a look at the inside......

The sentiment is from a retired Stampin Up Sale-a-Bration set.  It reads You're never more than a Thought away.
