Happy 18th Birthday...

here's a couple birthday cards I made for a special someone...he turned 18 yrs old! I thought I'd have to make a card that fitted that event. I wanted it to be special and unique. he loves the color red, so I tried to stick with that to be the main color.I finally got a chance to use my new stamp set...

Simple Friendship by SU.
I fell in love with the butterflies, flowers and swirls!
I used some DP, chocolate chip and pink pirouette cardstock.

I had to use some dazzling diamonds on the butterflies and I used heart bling for the middles of the flowers. I used the happy birthday sentiment from all holidays-SU.here's another card...I made it into a shaker box!
I used red micro beads from Cute Stuff and I added some chunky clear glitter. I used the 1 1/4", 1 3/8" circle punches and the scallop punches from SU. I also used the wow flowers stamp set for the sentiment. I used red bling in the middle. I used real red and close to cocoa cardstock.
and some DP from my stash.

here you can see it up closer.
I used the cupcake mice stamp from Leigh's wishing well.
colored with my copics!

thanks for stopping by today.
