Happy Birthday Blog Hop


Hello crafty people :)  Today we're hopping along to celebrate Jen's birthday.  Jen runs the blog Purple Scrapbooker and she is the start of this hop!  I am the second stop - so make sure and visit her first, and then come right back here to continue the fun :) 

My card is pretty simple today.  I used the stamp set from SP & Company called Lovely Labels to stamp a pretty label on the front of my card.  Then I used a circle Nestability to cut out the center of the label.  I stamped "Happy Birthday" from the same stamp set on the inside of the card, and the covered my label with some Fruit Punch colored Stickles.

I used some Echo Park paper along the bottom, punched with the Stampin' Up Scallop Border Punch.  I added a very thick ribbon, and then added a strip of bling onto it.  I finished off the outside with some stitching lines.


Since "Happy Birthday" is already stamped on the inside of the card I figured I may as well decorate it a little.  I added another strip of Echo Park paper along the bottom and some stitching lines to match the front.

I hope you enjoy this simple birthday card :)

Now.... how about some blog candy?!  Would you like to win the Lovely Labels stamp set I used to make this card?!  If so just leave a comment on this post for your chance to win.  

I have now closed the comments for this post!  I did this so I can draw a winner and no one will leave a comment thinking it counts for an entry for the candy.  Thanks to everyone for your sweet words :)


Now, it's time to continue the birthday hopping fun and head on over to Sarah over at Pink Cricut.

Just in case you get lost I'm posting the whole hop lineup here
Jen - Purple Scrapbooker You should have started here
Amber - Staying Crafty (You Are Here)
Sarah - Pink Cricut  You should go here next!
