Bold Birthdays

 Hello friends, 

Today is my MOM's birthday.  We celebrate her all year, but today we actually tell her about it.  😀  She is a good sport she puts up with all the teasing from her kids and now grandkids.   She knows it is out of love. 

I was going to make her a Fall themed birthday card, but I saw this bold birthday set and thought it would be fun to create a background for this cute little cake die cut.   Blue is her favorite color.   These sentiments are perfect for this technique because of the weight of the font.  You can read them easily, even when they are stamped tone on tone.    I think I'm going to get a lot of use out of these sentiments.  I hope this inspires you to make some birthday cards for your Fall birthdays.

 Hello friends, 

You can never have too many sentiments.  That should be the first rule of stamping (or at least in the top 3 right?)  The whole point of sending a card is to send a message of love, support, encouragement,  sympathy, or joy.   Pat the owner of Technique Junkies is a master of coming clever ways of finding the perfect words.  I love this new stamp set.  There are 6 different sentiments.  Each as perfect as the last.   I hope you will stop by and take a look.  They made some really beautiful Fall cards.
