Off the Wall Craftiness #19 and Happy Birthday Uncle Royce

I made two cards with my new Bo Bunny™ Dot paper that I kept seeing on everyone's cards and then I just had to have it!

The first one I made when my co-mom Linda asked me to make a card for her brother in law (my new uncle) Royce. So I had to make it "happy birthday"-esque while keeping it manly.

Now the fact that I went out and bought two more sets of Hero Arts™ is totally Jenny over at Wee Memories's fault (do you like how I am casting all purchasing blame on other people?). She is a Hero Arts™ hostess and I keep seeing adorable stamps left and right! I did need a new happy birthday stamp and so I picked up the Hero Arts™ CL 139 set . I LOVE it. The paper piecing is also inspired by Jenny's many cards.

I love the way this card turned out.


Recipe:
Paper: Bo Bunny™
Sentiment and balloons: Hero Arts™ CL 139
Pop Dots
Glossy Accents™

The second card I made was for my new Grandmother's birthday. I liked the formatting of the first card so much that I copied it for the second. I picked the colors based on Challenge 19 for Off the Wall Craftiness: light pink, lemon sherbet, lime green. You can see the inspiration photo below.

I bought another new stamp set for this one: Hero Arts™ CL280 which has elephants on it. You didn't know that I LOVE elephants, but you will see it very soon as now I have 4 to play with... three of which made it onto this card! :)
