Birthday Card


This card was done by fellow stamper Julie B. I like it because it works for a guy or girl...even with the touch of pink! If you don't like the pink, just switch it out to a coordinating color or even a neutral like gray!

2 more cards from July's stamp camp




Here are 2 more cards from July's stamp camp. The birthday card was cased from a swap I received from a fellow SUDSOLER. (One of my exclusively for Stampin' Up! demo's group that totally ROCKS!)
