I Brake For Pianos!

Hello everyone!

Today I'm sharing a birthday card with you. I sell a lot of my cards and the two biggest requests that I get are birthday and sympathy. 

 I love Pinterest and find a lot of inspiration on there.  I recently came across THIS card and thought I'd like to make it my own.

 I used 5 different I Brake For Stamps images/verses on the card.

Good Example

Best Wishes Birthday

Happy Birthday from Betty!

Hello Ai Fans!! 

Today I'm sharing a super fun birthday card with you!

When I saw  Betty (Sku#U1527) I just knew she was singing "Happy birthday to you..."  That's why I paired her with the music themed paper and die.  Doesn't she just make you think of the old lady down the street who gives piano lessons and her living room is full of piano music books and smells musty?

On the inside I used Fabulous You (Sku#G2987).

Butterflies are like music dancing in the wind

My card today is a birthday card. 

I was inspired by this card.

I just cut the piano and inset out freehand

and then added the keyboard.

(I'm not a pianist so forgive me it the layout

of the keys makes no sense!)

I then added my flowers and butterflies 

which were cut using a Sizzix die and some

punches.

Here's the inside.  I used a beautiful verse from

My Sentiments Exactly and a cheap $1 wood stamp.

They say it's your birthday!

I had a request for a Beatles birthday card and I'm so glad because this was SO much fun to make!  All of the images are just clip art that I printed.  The only stamping is the phrase inside which is from Stampin' Up. 

The record and label were separate.  I found the birthday label and cut it out to fit on a record from another piece of clip art.

Inside I used some individual shots and a one of Ringo at his drums.

Happy Birthday Dad

This card was created for my dad's birthday at the end of the month.  I created the keyboard on my Martha Stewart score board and the note border is Le Symphony from EK Success.  The happy birthday song stamp is a clear stamp and I don't know who makes it.  My dad's not a musician but he does love all types of music like I do so I think he'll enjoy this card.

Happy Birthday Sergio

Last night Dominick had a birthday sleepover at his friend Sergio's house. His birthday is actually on Christmas Eve poor kid! They all had a blast. I know Sergio is in to music and such so I broke out my old stand-by Inkadinkado set. I just love that guitar. The peace signs and birthday candles are from 2 other clear sets. The piano keyboard is from Art Impressions. I stamped the image and then I went over the black keys with black glossy dimensional paint and it looks so good. I made a box to put some candies and his gift card in. The chocolate phrase is another one from AI. I even got to use glitter glue which isn't always doable on a boys card but the paper had glitter on it and it was still masculine so I went for it! The skull on the box is a Martha Stewart punch.
