Happy Birthday Cards

 Hello friends, it's that time again for a new monthly challenge at
Love Those Pretty Papers.
It's all about pulling all those beautiful designer papers out
and put them to use!
We are an anything goes challenge with an
OPTIONAL theme of RED his month.

For my red card (inspired by the optional theme)
I saw a card I liked on Pinterest and found there was a tutorial HERE.
I think there is a bit of a 'learning' curve here
(one which I am still working on to 'perfect')
and also think there are now dies for this cut
which would make it a whole lot easier!

By doing this technique you end up with 2 cards.
The papers I used are an older SU one (flower print)
and a Doodlebug Puppy Love (hearts).
The sentiment and center die cuts are Sizzix Layered Labels
which comes with the dies and the stamps. 
I just love the shapes of the cute dies!


Second card (my trial & error card):

For my anything goes card I created another birthday
card as I seem to need those the most.  I came across this
design using designer paper HERE .  I thought it was a 
great design to use some of the pretty papers.
My papers are Prima's Nature Lover.  I added a few
'inked' elements from my already die cut stash,
I have lots of those that I am trying to use up before cutting
anything else, we will see how that woks out!
The sentiment strip is Spellbinders Betterpress.

Now it's your turn to get out those pretty papers and
come on over and have some fun with us!

Also wanted to add that as crazy as Dar and I are we
have a new challenge starting on February 3rd and the 
first Monday of every month after. It is called
The Neglected Stuff, just follow the link and read all about it!!
