Birthdays Galore continued

Pheweeee how hot has it been this week, between watching Wimbledon and the heat no projects completed for me my hands were so hot I was leaving marks on the card - not a look I wanted lol ;-( Moving quickly on;
This morning was a lot cooler so I got cracking. I am still on my quest; Birthday cards just a Little bit different from the norm; I have several 60th Birthdays coming up (not Me!) so I have used this weeks sketch challenge over on StampwithUs for one of the 60th Birthday cards and made the opening gatefold, added a bit of bling (dazzling diamonds) and have kept to just two colours. Hope you like my take on this weeks sketch. I have used Certainly Celery for a clean fresh look. Stazon was used to stamp Happy Birthday onto the ribbon and I frayed two ends, 60 was cut from DSP on my Big Shot and I glued this to heavy card mounted with dimensionals.

Stamp with Us Challenge 3

This is my card for the Colour Challenge over on Stamp with Us blog.

Wow I get to use my Favourite colour scheme for this challenge, yipee :-) have really enjoyed this challenge as I had put myself on a self imposed ban from using these colours :-( I just kept making everything in chocolate combo - who could blame me!
Stampin' Up! products were used.

Ingredients

Card stock Very Vanilla, Close to Cocoa and Chocolate Chip

Chocolate Chip Grosgrain Ribbon double stitched

Ink Close to Cocoa

Vellum

DSPaper

Stamps Spots Background, Best Yet,Playful Petal

Punches Scalloped Edge, Corner Rounder, 11/4 circle, Scalloped Circle, 1/16 punch

Ribbler

I put the velum through a ribbler and lightly inked with close to cocoa to look like paper case, then I mounted onto Chocolate Chip before assembling card.

I knew I wouldn't stop at one card made three in total will post others later!

Have been away so I missed the birthday challenge, but a yummy challenge to come back too.
