Finally -- 30th Birthday Cards (Part 1)

Hurray -- my brother's birthday is here and I can finally post the videos of the cards I made for him! (Not that I assume he peruses my craft blog -- but I didn't want to take a chance on spoiling any surprises)!

This post will contain 2 videos: 1 of the card, and another of the amazing surprise party his friends threw for him a couple nights ago. He was genuinely surprised, and I can't resist including it. :)

Card materials:

- Bazzill Basics Smoothies cardstock

- white opaque pen (inkssentials)

- silver embossing powder (Ranger)

- Watermark stamp pad (versamark)
