Quick Birthday Card for my Nephew

DSCN4421

I made this Birthday card for my nephew, Nicholas, who turned 5.  He loves nature and especially animals, so I thought of using the giraffe from the Animal Stories set.  I love the look that the giraffe has when stamped on the textured cardstock.

TIP:  Use the Stampin’ Write Markers to write the recipients name in coordinating colors to the card.  I use the darkest color to write the name, then highlight with a lighter coordinating color.

TIP:  Use the Stamp-a-ma-jig to line up the two separate stamps “happy” and “birthday”.
