It may be Christmas card making time, but birthdays happen now too.  Here are a couple of birthday cards I made using some really awesome designer paper that has been stashed away for a long time.  It was just simply time to use it!

All of the images and graphics are part of the paper’s design.  The only stamping are the sentiments.

The pins and rose and beautiful brad are also some stashed away embellishments that finally found their way onto a card.  Yeah!

Check out some of the other papers in this pack.  More fun designs just waiting to be added to a card base!

While the rosy pink and yellow card is playing in a challenge all by itself:

Crazy for CAS:  Challenge #57 Photo Inspiration

Both cards are playing together in three challenges:

Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge:  Pin Cushion

Papertake Weekly Challenge:  Sooooooo Girlie 🙂

CAS on Sunday:  Challenge #46 Ribbon and/or Twine

I love designer paper!
Happy Crafting!
