Happiest of Birthdays and more!

 Thank you for joining me today!

This is the first of 2 posts today, some day's are busier than others, don't you think! 

Happy 8th birthday Kayden, love you loads!!

 

I didn't know what to do for Kayden this year, so did my usual and looked on Pinterest.  I found one by Debbie Reemtsen I liked, so this is my version using almost all the same products, but getting a different look. So thank you Debbie.

Materials required for this card are:

Card Stock: basic white, *galvanised metallic, granny apple green, pacific point, pumpkin pie, real red 

Dies: *beautiful brushstrokes, stitched stars

Embossing Folders: painted texture 3D

Ink: pacific point

Punches: banner pick a punch

Ribbon: *black cord

Stampin' Markers: granny apple green, pumpkin pie

Stamp Sets: Happiest of Birthdays

The eighth was computer generated, and the black cord was used to hide the line running through the middle as the card needed to be run through the embossing machine twice as it was bigger than the folder.

* = no longer available
