My sister celebrated a birthday this week, and it was a very special birthday. The big 4-0. This was a great reason to create a fun birthday card!!

Starting with a white card base, I added two layers of B&T Duos™ from the Balloon Ride Paper Packet.  The Cashmere Cardstock gets it’s shape from the Art Philosophy Cricut® Cartridge. The Chocolate Cardstock gets it’s texture from the Quatrefoil Embossing Folder.

Now let’s talk stamp sets!! If you look closely at the top half of the Cashmere Cardstock you will notice I used the Distressed Backgrounds Stamp Set in second generation Cashmere Exclusive Ink™. The sentiment is from the Belated Birthday Stamp Set in Cashmere Exclusive Ink™.  And those chevrons {who doesn’t love chevrons?!?!} are stamped in Sorbet Exclusive Ink™ on White Daisy Cardstock using the Charming Chevrons Stamp Set. For finishing touches I added a bow of Chocolate Baker’s Twine. {Card inspired by this card from Jen Del Muro}

I hope my sister had a very, very special birthday. I love and appreciate her more than she could ever know!!
