the crafty yogi: February 2016

My post today features the Number of Years bundle from the Stampin' Up! Occasions catalog. Can you say easy? This set is so easy and so fun! And it can be used for more than birthdays, but today it's birthdays.

We'll start at the beginning, what can be more fun than a 1st birthday? Here are a couple of ideas:

And a super cute idea for celebrating someone a bit older.

Here's how I got the cool arch, I curved the photopolymer stamp a bit when I mounted it on the block so that it would fit with the framelit. Then I cut it out with my big shot and snipped them apart.

This next card has a nice masculine feel, it's for my Dad's birthday in April.

And on this one, I'm having a little fun for my Mother-in-law, who turned 70 last year. You could also leave the again banner off and have a super nice card, although not quite as funny.

That's all for birthday cards today, although I have tons of ideas, just need to get them made of paper.

I've also made a bunch of anniversary cards with this set (and I'm almost thinking I blogged about them before? But I'll share them anyway).

The cards with DSP are using the Birthday Bouquet DSP and I used the coordinating card stock and ink colors (I love how Stampin' Up! does that! I mean it's amazing!).

I hope I've inspired you a bit!

Stay crafty!
