Birthday cards are always in demand, and I am always happy to find one that is quick and easy, colorful, and suitable for all ages and both genders.
I am really blessed to have so many stamps in my collection to choose from, both current and retired. Usually I post from my current sets, but today's is a throw back to a set I really enjoy using.
A few years back, Stampin' Up! brought out the Little Layers stamp set of spring and outline images of a kite, fish, flower and ladybud along with 4 background stamps. In the Little Layers II set were holiday images of pumpkin, acorn, snowflake and ornament and 4 more background stamps. To round out the collection, they also made available a hostess set, Little Layers Plus, which included a mortar board, heart, gift package, flower, pacifier and the cupcake used above, plus 2 more backgrounds. Wow! with a collection like that and an easy layout like the one shown here, you could make cards for every just about every occasion all year long. If you have a copy of the 2004-2005 Idea Book & Catalog, you can see all 3 sets, then be on the look out for them at thrift shops, garage sales, etc.
Thanks for stopping by.
May all your days be bright and cheery.
