Birthday Cards

Hello! I have a couple of fun birthday cards to share today! The first card is for my niece who turned 5 earlier this week. I used a Cricut cut for the number and butterflies. For the background I used the Marble Turnabout stamp from Concord and 9th with pink inks that coordinated with the pink cardstock used on the "5." For the sentiment, I stamped on a strip of vellum that I wrapped around the front panel.

The color scheme for this card was inspired by this color combo from Color Dare: 

My second card is for my youngest son who loves video games and turned 8 over the weekend. I cut a bunch of stuff with the Cricut and assembled it all. I kept everything else pretty simple. I used kraft cardstock and a brick embossing folders. I matted that on a piece of black cardstock to add the thin black frame since everything on the front of my cards had a black outline.

 Thanks for stopping by to check out my projects!
