This card was for my card group we had to do a card with a pet so I did this cute puppy dog.

I know as my kids were growing up they would get excited about their birthdays and count the days down to when their birthday was, that’s where the saying comes in, “Good things come to those who wait,” I would tell them in a few more days it will be your birthday.

I made the doghouse from first using an embossing folder like wood on red card stock and then adding a little black ink to show some age on the house. The dog was colored right on the background using copic markers.

For the inside I stamped a few balloons and the birthday sentiment.

I made these cards for my son and my older sister since they both have the same birthday day.

I made my son’s card out of purple and yellow card stock and my sister’s out of pastel colors of pink, yellow, purple and light green.  I have to say the hardest part of these cards were trying to get the fold on the inside lined up just right, but I love how both of them turned out.

Who doesn’t like a donut? This card is both cheerfully bright and yummy.

I started with a yellow sun stamp for the background and then layered a piece of vellum on top.  From there I stamped out three donuts and colored each one with a bright color. I added candles in matching colors as the donuts and then stamped the sentiment, “It’s your birthday.”

For the inside I stamped a small sentiment of, “Wishing you the sweetest day ever.”
