Winston & Newton Birthday Cards!!

Two friends of mine had birthdays this weekend so I was able to put our two favorite birthday stamp sets - Winston's Birthday and  Newton's Birthday Bash to use! 

Winston celebrates 40! 

The first card was for a 40th birthday party for my friend Jacki! I used Winston - our bear  -  and the little cupcake image from our Winston's Birthday set. I colored them with copics and fussy cut them out. Then I added him to the card with some circles cut from patterned papers and a big "40" that I cut out with a Big Shot Sizzix die.

The "grin and bear it" sentiment is also from our Winston's Birthday set. I also embossed the yellow paper with a polka dot embossing folder and added some chevron washi tape and bakers twine! 

Purr-fect birthday wishes! 

For my second card - for my friend Lisa -  I used Newton squeezing the balloon from our Newton's Birthday Bash set. I stamped the image on white card stock and colored it with copics. Then I added some clouds with light blue ink (the one with the straight bottom is from our Winged Wishes set and the curvy bottom is from our Spring Showers set) 

Once I had the sky, I thought it might be fun to add some hills and make a complete scene. I cut some curves using a scissor and some green polka-dotted paper and sponged the edges lightly. I also added some fun washi tape and ribbon to bring in some extra color! 

Happy Birthday Girls!!
