Uniko 13th Birthday Celebration

I don’t usually do more than one post, but I wanted to share these while I had time.

 I needed some quick birthday cards for January, mojo missing after all the Xmas ones,

so I picked a couple of Uniko stamps, that I was able to just highlight parts of.

Gone fishing

 Another oldie but goodie stamp set,

I think it’s  was Papermania


It has a fisherman, golfer and diy man , so it’s very useful.


I just coloured it with blend pens, placed it on a plaid paper, and pool party square die cut.

There’s a challenge at the following blogs with a fabulous prize…..

I think it qualifies for CAS, or Anything Goes

…..and AAA Cards #283 colour challenge, using the colours black grey, green and blue

Have good weekend

Dance With Me

 Yesterday was my sister’s birthday, her daughter in law is a cake maker


As you can see it was a big birthday, but I dare not tell you how old 😂

This called for a special card…..no pressure! 

Actually it was a whole load of pressure, and not without mishaps!


It’s sale a bration at Stampin’ Up!, so I used one of the free stamps,
Dance With Me. 
We used to do old time dancing, and she continued, moving on to music and dance fitness.
She is struggling with her husband who has Alzheimer’s, Dementia and Parkinson’s,
So I wanted to make her laugh.
At the final stage, I glued the above image, the wrong way up on the card, 🙄🙄
and after much deliberation decided to use my plan for the inside, on the opposite outside,
ie the back, that became the front. (Any questions? I expect you’ve done it once or twice too!)




So she laughed at the age jokes, then realised what was on the back, which she loved,
and then I put some nice age jokes inside, because I’m nice and I’m only two years younger,
so didn’t want too much comeback 😃

I also made her a money wallet….no idea what to get her, as she has much better taste than me 😁,
but did get her some flowers and a bottle of her favourite tipple.



Hope it’s made you smile, and now I’m dancing off to join these challenges….

Snippets Playground #499 (snippets used for dancers and balloons)
My NBUS (never before used)
Allsorts #816 (romance and music)
Avenue 613 create (lots of love)


Take care and see you soon
