I had a blast making this birthday card! Image stamp is Paper Trey Ink's 'Turning a New Leaf.' Background stamp is Stampin Up's 'French Script.' The sentiment stamp is actually a mix of two Studio G stamps -- a wooden one and a clear one. I love the label on the new wooden stamp (as pictured), but I wanted the sentiment to be 'Happy Birthday,' so I inked the label portion of the one stamp, stamped the cardstock and trimmed. I then masked another Studio G stamp (a clear one) that had the sentiment surrounded by flourishes (which I didn't want). I masked with simple scotch tape). I then stamped the sentiment onto the cut-out label. I sewed the lace on and covered up messy sewing with a strip of patterned paper. I raised some of the leaves and the sentiment with foam squares (pop dots). Trim, jute, button, pearls and scrap paper are all from my stash. Cardstock base is Paper Trey Ink's 'Aqua Mist."

Chris in CT won the 'Thank You' stamp!

Look what A C Moore has stocked for Valentine's Day!  To celebrate these great deals, I will give the "Owl Always Love You" stamp to a randomly-chosen person who comments on this post. :) The winner will be announced Tuesday, January 26 at 8:00 PM EST.

I used my Stampin' Up! 'Classic Convertibles' set for the first time on this card.  I heat embossed the the stamped image.  Papers were scraps I had in my scraps file box.  Sentiment was made using my Dymo labeler.

Here is a photo of new Studio G dollar stamps I found at Michael's today. Aren't they fabulous? In honor of this excitement, I am giving away the "Thank You" stamp found in the second photo to a winner chosen at random. Just leave a comment here by Thursday, Feb. 21 at midnight EST, and I will announce the winner.
