A holiday on a Monday always makes the week move a little faster! It was sort of overcast and rainy on and off for most of the day so I thought that it would be the perfect day to catch up on my neglected blog comments. I read them as they come in but I have been bad at responding lately. But after three hours they have all been responded to! I feel the love from you guys and you should always feel it right back! I didn’t get much else done but today is a new day to accomplish! Maybe I will give the kitchen cabinets a try! 😀
Today I have my card for this week’s Freshly Made Sketches to share with you…
To start I stamped the Concord & 9th Sprinkles Turnabout Photopolymer Stamp in Grape Soda, Sugarplum, Plastic Flamingo and Bubblegum using my MISTI onto a card base of Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock. The ballon and greeting are from the Concord & 9th Happy Balloons Photopolymer Stamp Set and are stamped in Bubblegum and Sugarplum. I used the Coordinating Dies to cut it out along with the string. They are are adhered to a piece of 27lb Pastel Pink Vellum and then adhered to the card! A simple bright birthday card! I hope that you like my card for this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge! Thank you so much for visiting! Have an awesome Thursday! 🙂

Hi Justin:
When I see the confetti turn about stamp I always think of sprinkles on my ice cream. That leads me to think of ice cream so then I have to stop what I’m doing and get a dish of ice cream. 🙂 It’s really nice that you can change colors on that stamp with each turn. Makes for a terrific background. Adding the balloons turns it into a fabulous birthday card. Great job my friend. Love and hugs to you! XXOO 🙂
Hello Grace!
Yes! LOL! Who doesn’t love a little ice cream?! I do think that the Turnabout stamps are some of the most clever I have see in a long time! So glad that you like the card! Love and hugs to you! XOXO 🙂
I love how you combined sets to make this, I’m really bad with combining stamps. I should try to be more adventurous. Yep, The best thing about thos week was the 4 day work week. We really need more of those. We are still dealing with Fall weather here. But after keeping an eye on Flordia I’m not complaining.
Thank you Linda! I love to combine sets, get a lot more mileage out of your stamps that way! Every week should be four days! It’s feeling fall-like here too, but only down into the 50’s so not too bad yet. 🙂
I love those sprinkles in the various colors. Such a fun backdrop to the birthday balloon. I’m definitely feeling the need for a Concord & 9th order! Thank you for playing along with us at Freshly Made Sketches.
Thank you Kim! Love Concord & 9th! Hope you have a great week! 🙂
