Hey there! My bout with sickness put me waaaaay behind this week, but I've learned to expect the unexpected and just go with what I'm given. I'm working away at it even though I know I can't get everything done or the way I wanted it.

Today I have two cards, both made with Birthday Bouquet Designer Series Paper and Birthday Blooms stamps:

They are very similar, but up close you can see the subtle differences.

The layout, colors, sentiment, designer paper, and ribbon are the same, but this one is simpler with the Silver 5/8" Satin bow low on the front:

I made the flat card first, heat-embossing the greeting with white powder before deciding it needed a bit of texture. After white-heat embossing the greeting and adding the Banner Triple-punched paper strips with SNAIL, I embossed the Pool Party/designer paper layer with the Decorative Dots folder:

I also raised the ribbon bow near the top . Which one do you like best?

I did the inside similar but different as well. Here's the inside of the flat-front card:

And the textured card inside:
