BIRTHDAYS, BIRTHDAYS, STAMPIN UP!, and

Two of my friends.  Both of these friends have been made through the crafting community.  I met both these lovely ladies through Stampin UP!  Kiesha was 16 a couple of weeks ago

 and the day before it was Traci's Birthday.

As they are Mother and Daughter, I didn't want any arguing so I made them similar gifts. 

Both cards were made with the New Thinlets Card dies.  

I am loving these.  Kiesha's was made with the labels one and Traci's with the Circles one.

I used two of my favourite stamp sets, (I am sorry to say they are now retired) and made the gorgeous hearts myself.  

I also decorated the hand made envelopes on both sides.  

The envelopes were made using the amazing Envelope Punch Board.

What is this?

It's a great tool from Stampin UP! that allows you to create your own envelopes for that extra personal touch.

I am loving having both these new bits of kit and the versatility and creativity they create.
