Bows and Bowties Postage Stamp Birthday Cards

 Welcome to Corner of Plaid and Paisley!  I am Ann Krucek, and I am showing off my bowties and bows for the Stamping INKspirations Blog Hop today!

The theme for our Stamping Inkspiration Blog Hop this month is anything new! 

I chose the new Well Suited Suite found on page 66 of the new Mini Catalog to work with.

I used the bow tie stamp and die, along with the Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch from the Annual Catalog.

I was drawn to the fabulous masculine papers in the Well Suited DSP pack.  Since all three of our kids (and most of our money!) went to The Ohio State University - the greys in this paper pack yelled OSU to me!! Especially because they are playing in the National Championship Football Game on Monday, we are a bit hyped up here in Ohio!!  And you have to know that with a blog name of Corner of Plaid and Paisley - that grey paisley paper is an all time favorite for me!!

 I wanted to make a feminine version of the card as well,

this time using the Sale-A-Bration Paper Blooms Designer Series Paper.

I liked mixing the pink polka dot bows with this striped and flowered DSP - and of course a little rows of scallops (from Budding Blooms Die set) down the side for a cute little girl birthday card!
