Celebrate Sweet 16!

Sweet 16!  This is for my niece that has turned 16, and she got her drivers license the very same day!  Oh what fun to be that age again!!  My card is using a lot of the new products from the Occasions catalog and sale-a-bration catalog.   The card base is Melon Mambo 8.5 x 5.5, with a layer of Rich Razzleberry and then a layer of the so pretty Painted with Love Specialty DSP paper found on page 19 of the Occasions catalog.  I then used my 2 1/2 scallop punch and punched a Rich Razzleberry circle, then a 2 1/4 circle of Melon Mambo.  The numbers were die cut out of the Painted with Love Specialty paper too.   The celebrate is die cut in Melon Mambo and is from the set of Celebrate You thinlets dies on page 17 of the sale-a-bration.  I punched out the balloons from glitter paper that was from last years sale-a-bration catalog, and added a glitter heart.   What a fun card and did you notice there is no stamping involved!  I did stamp on the inside with a Happy Birthday stamp.

Now if you are not into all that glitter here is another version of the card, that is sort of just glammed down a bit.

So on this one, we are using the same cardbase, and layers, same with the circles, but I’ve added a Whisper white circle that was die cut from the small stitched framelits,, and I added the Happy Birthday sentiment from Cake Soiree stamp set, stamped in Melon Mambo,  The celebrate is die cut from Rich Razzleberry, and the balloons are punched form the Painted Specialty DSP paper, along with the heart.   Both cards pack a punch, and I think anyone would be happy to receive.

Let me know which card you like better and Have a wonderful day
