Patterns and Texture Birthday

The color combinations in the Soda Pop designer series paper are so much fun - it is no longer available, but I still have some to play around with...


The Granny Apple Green card stock in the background is embossed with the Tin Tile folder, which is also retired, it is one of my favorites!
The sentiment is from the Attention Shoppers stamp set and is stamped with Night of Navy ink.


Supplies:

Sweet Peas

I was playing around with the Sweet Peas stamp set to make both baby boy and baby girl cards and used the Timeless Plaid designer series paper for the boy card and the Unbounded Beauty designer series paper for the girl card along with coordinating 
colors of card stock.


I used die cuts from the Perennial Postage dies and Around it All dies along with some retired embellishments to complete the cards.


Supplies:

Memento Black, Mossy Meadow ink
Stampin' Blends
Boho Blue, Basic White, Pretty in Pink, Bubble Bath, Basic Beige cardstock

Hooray to ha-pea paper crafts with the Sweet Peas Stamp Set!
