Showy Strips Birthday Card Preview ~ Red Rubber Designs DT

     With so many September birthdays this month, I decided to feature some fun and bold stamps from Red Rubber Designs using some blue bling to mimic "sapphires",  the birthstone for September. I made this card from black and white cardstock, with lots of embossed stamping in black and white, to really make the bling stand out.

Inspirational # 203 ~ Birthday Bash

     Come join in my first Inspirational of the year at Red Rubber Inspirationals! We're celebrating our first year of Inspirationals with a birthday bash, using any kind of birthday stamp, like the ones I used here on a birthday card for my aunt, whose birthday is today. Happy Birthday Aunt Nana!!

     I used lots of stamping with red and black embossing powders onto white cardstock. The heart border was done with the I heart You stamp set, and the gifts and confetti with the Gift For You set. I did the sentiment with the  Darling stamp set, all from Red Rubber Designs. I used some bling for January's birthstone of garnet, with some red Stickles on the red card and gifts.  I finished it up with some machine stitching, and the large beaded heart that originally had green ribbon coming out from the rose. I cut it out and added the black trim instead.

Thanks for looking, and have a great day!
