Birthday Class

This is another of the cards we made in last Friday's birthday card class. And, I must say, it looks rather "classy", don't you agree?  I was inspired by a card on Pinterest (I think), and now I can't find it for the life of me, so if you see a similar card, please let me know who made it so I can give proper credit.
ETA: Found it on Splitcoast HERE. 

We used a retired stamp on the card, because it matched the Best of Flowers current stamp that was used inside:

It's kind of hard to see in the photo (click to enlarge), because it was stamped with Illuminate Glimmer Watermark ink, which gives the most subtle, shimmery effect. Just gorgeous in real life!

Stamps: Upsy Daisy (retired), Blooming With Kindness (greeting), Best of Flowers
Cardstock: Basic Black, Very Vanilla, Modern Medley DSP, Champagne Glimmer
Ink: VersaMark, Basic Black, So Saffron, Cajun Craze, Illuminate Glimmer
Accessories: Big Shot, Circle Nestabilities (because my Circle Framelits don't arrive until tomorrow), Heat Tool, Embossing Buddy, Black Stampin' Emboss Powder, 1" Circle Punch, Stampin' Sponges, Stampin' Dimensionals

CASEing Rosalie's Swaps

My upline, Rosalie, is at the Stampin' Up! Leadership Conference as I write this, and I am sooooo bummed I didn't go. This is the first year I've qualified, but I had to choose between Leadership or Convention in July. So I'm sitting here at home, feeling sorry for myself, when I see all the fabulous fun they are having in San Antonio.

This card is pretty much a direct CASE of the swaps Rosalie made to take to Leadership. She made 100 of them! The only thing I did differently was the greeting, and instead of the Small Heart Punch, I used the smaller heart from the Owl Builder Punch. Isn't it fab?!

Oh!  And the SU roving reporters have been posting pictures on Facebook, and in one of them a demo is holding up one of Rosalie's swaps! They're famous!
