Fun Day Making Cards

I had a great time on Sunday making cards and I wanted to share them with you here.  Yes, I know it's nearly Thursday, but that's just how my weeknights have been!  haha!

This card is my very favorite.  I actually got the idea from several locations but when I went to do mine, I discovered I cut it "wrong" for the way I had seen on the samples.  BUT, it seems I like my way better in the end as I only had to decorate one side.  The others I saw had to decorate both sides of the cut.

Recipe for the above card: 

Cardstock:  Pretty in Pink, Wisteria Wonder, Whisper White, Water Color Paper

DSP:  Flirtatious Specialty

Ribbon:  Pink Pirouette 3/8" Taffeta Ribbon

Stamps:  Apothecary Art (w-125525 / c-125527); On Your Birthday (111664 - wood only and retiring May 31st)

Stampin' Write / Ink:  Wisteria Wonder, Pretty in Pink, Old Olive

Cardstock:  Whisper White, Real Red, Tempting Turquoise, Daffodil Delight

DSP:  Big Top Birthday

Stamp Set:  Bring on the Cake (w-121899 / c-121958)

The above card was leftover from a Stamp-a-Stack which came in extra handy when I needed a fast card.  This stamp set is another one that will be retiring the end of May.  I have to admit it's one of my favotires and I'll be sad to see it go.

Lastly a very retired stamp set "King of the Grill" but one of my favorite go-to sets for the BBQing men in my life.  Who doesn't have the need to make a card for when Dad is doing his best to keep the grill under control?  Gotta Love It!
