Balloon birthday

This week sees my Nephew Stephen's birthday , and my Niece/God-daughter, Katie's birthday.

This evening I have done the card for Stephen.

Nothing too fancy for him!

The sunburst is from Kinda Eclectic (fancy that!!) stamped in Smoky Slate

Happy is die cut from the Hello You Thinlits dies and one of the balloons punched, 

both using the It's My Party DSP Stack. The other balloon is cut from Pool Party card stock.

Birthday is stamped using the Crazy About You stamp set.

The balloon strings are hand drawn with a Black Project Life Journalling Pen.

I'm quite pleased with the results of this one.

Kinda Eclectic - sympathy card

I had some sad news this morning, my friend, and down line, Mavis contacted me to say that her husband had passed away last week.  Although he has been ill and in hospital before Christmas, he had been allowed home, and was attending various clinics. It was obviously a great shock to Mavis and she is still trying to come to terms with it,

All I could do was express my heartfelt sympathy for her, and whilst at Chris's today I have made this sympathy card and posted it to her.

A very CAS sympathy card, cased from the Internet,

 I have altered the ribbon slider, using the die from Project Life Tags and  Labels dies

 and punched the slots using the curvy trio punch .  

The colour combo is Lost Lagoon, Sahara Sand and Whisper White.  

Once again the stamp set is Kinda Eclectis, I am sure that you will agree it is a most versatile set.

The sentiment is from Wetlands 

Thoughts and prayers being sent to Mavis at this very sad time, God Bless!!

And the final H is for Happy Birthday!

I have loads of birthdays in the second half of September, 

so have lots of cards that I can show you to finish off the letter H.

Here are two versions of the same style card. 

Version 1

Version 2

The stamp sets used are Kinda Eclectic and Happy Birthday, Everyone.

Inks : White (Craft), Crumb Cake, Lost Lagoon and Soft Suede.

Can't decide which I like the best.

Which one do you like the best??
