Birthday Catch up!

This week saw the terrific twelfth Birthday for my niece Down Under. Hope you had a really wonderful Birthday - thought I would add a bit of sparkle to the Australian winter with this . . .
 

Stamp: Swallowtail
Card stock: Strawberry Slush, Whisper White & Silver glimmer paper
Ink: Versa mark & Tempting Turquoise embossing powder 
Accessories: Simple numbers for Big Shot, retired flower embossing folder for front panel, large rhinestones for flower centres
 
 
My first attempt at a stepper card, but quite pleased with the result :-)
 
Today is my Seriously Sassy Septuagenarian Dad's Birthday, I know he won't mind me letting people know his age, (a bit of give away when you see inside his card), as he is blissfully unaware of virtual media and the like. Although has just had Birthday greetings from Australia via the wonders of Skype :-)
 
 
As you can see from the front of the card, the numbers are quite subtle!
 
Stamp sets: Another Great Year (retired) and the star from Something to say.
Card stock: Pear Pizzazz, Whisper White, Real Red and Pear pizzazz DSP inside.
Ink: Memento Ink, Real Red and Old Olive Blendabilities (also my first attempt).
Accessories: Card base Pop 'n' Cuts & Deco Labels dies for Big Shot, Simple Die numbers, Small scalloped trimmer blade for Stampin' Trimmer 
 
 
Here's hoping your Birthday is as Sensational as you are Dad ;-)
 
Keep on crafting, Gen xxxx
