Back Pocket Basics, World's Greatest & Heart-2-Heart #2 - Day 4

 

**I have two posts for today so be sure to scroll down :)**

 

Welcome back everyone for day 4 of the March Papertrey Ink countdown. I have a lot to share with you today so I'm going to jump right in.

Up first is this card using a few of the images from Back Pocket Basics. There is a small trio of posies included in the set that I stamped around the border of the Summer Sunrise & Hawaiian Shores cardstock. I also used the tiny tag die that is part of the Back Pocket Basics die collection and stamped the coorinating 'sunshine' image on the inside and then attached it along the side of my card. 

I just adore this sweet little sun image. It is 3 different images...a solid sun, a outlined & dotted sun and the little smiley face. To create my cheeks I used one of the solid circles from Tree Tops and stamped it in Sweet Blush. To finish it I stamped 'Sending you a pocketful of sunshine' in Dark Chocolate ink.

'Happy Birthday Sunshine' is up next. I created another sweet sun image and used it along with the pocket from Back Pocket Basics. I stamped SUNSHINE on the bottom part of my card using Hawaiian Shores ink. 

I stamped 'Happy Birthday', from Heart-2-Heart #2, in Pure Poppy ink and then added some red string and a tiny pink flower to finish it.  

Next up is World's Greatest. For this card I stamped the large 'WORLD'S Greatest' in Dark Chocolate and then added my tie below that I die cut using the coordinating World's Greatest die.

Grandpa is one of the many masculine images in the set. That was stamped in Dark Chocolate and then a Pure Poppy button and twine were added to this one. 

For this one I started by die cutting a piece of white cardstock using the Button Card die. I added a piece of polka dot paper along the side and then added my balloons. Those were all die cut with the Heart-2-Heart #2 balloon die.  

I stamped the 'Happy Birthday' repeatedly on the Summer Sunrise cardstock. A Sweet Blush bow and doily completes this one!

More Heart-2-Heart #2 on this one. The hearts on the balloons were all die cut using the Love Lives Here die collection.

Another Sweet Blush bow, glitter and a few pearls are the finishing touch. 

And last up for today is this little baby card. These balloons fit so well with SO many different stamp images. I love it when you can use different sets together!!

That completes day four for me. I still have so much to share with you tomorrow and will be back in the morning with another post. Still lots to see so be sure to stop by and see what these ladies have to share...
