Birthday Cards

Every August we get together with my parents for their birthdays. On the calendar they are days apart at the beginning of August and I usually make them a card for their birthday. This year I was happy to make the cards with Core'dinations Glitter Cardstock and Paper Trunk Rockabilly Papers.
For my mom, I chose a pink and yellow color scheme and a pretty vase full of Rockabilly roses.

The pin sticking out of the top of the roses shows the message.

The background of the card is Rockabilly paper sprayed with some yellow glimmer mist. The vase is also glittery and embossed with dots like pink milk glass! At the bottom of the vase is a yellow bow tied out of paper so it will never go flat.

For my dad, I made a canoe out of Rockabilly Paper and tore strips of glittery blue cardstock and layered them to look like water. The paddle of the canoe holds the card closed.
The water on the bottom of the card folds down to reveal orange cardstock fish swimming below the canoe. It looks like he caught a big one!
I hope these cards inspire you to get creative with Paper Trunk and Core'dinations!
