Card collection: this and that

Whew! I think this is the last card collection I'll need to post for awhile. Thanks for bearing with me while I cleared out those older projects. I couldn't think of a common factor among this group of cards -- other than the fact that they're all birthday cards -- so they're the catch-all "this and that" category.

Supplies (all Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted):
Stamps: Basket Full of Wishes (Unity Stamp Co.)
Paper: Thick Whisper White, Whisper White card stock; Studio G paper pack (Hampton Art)
Ink: Onyx Black Versafine (Tsukineko); markers: Riding Hood Red, Sweet Sugarplum, Peach Parfait, Smoky Slate; Blends markers: Crumb Cake, Pineapple Punch
Accessories: Riding Hood Red ribbon, Tutti-Frutti sequins, Stitched Rectangles Thinlits dies (Sizzix), clear embossing powder (Stampamania), foam tape (3M)

Supplies (all Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted):
Stamps: Happiest Birthday Wishes, Butterfly Basics
Paper: Pistachio Pudding card stock
Ink: Pistachio Pudding, Basic Gray; Blends: Highland Heather, Daffodil Delight
Accessories: Vellum butterfly shapes (Jolee's Boutique), rhinestones, Subtle embossing folder, foam strips, foam tape (3M), Corner Chomper (We R Memory Keepers), sponge

Quick tip: I've had these vellum butterflies forever, so when I pulled them out I discovered that the color had almost completely faded from the vellum. To give them a little boost, I colored the back of each butterfly with a coordinating alcohol marker. Good as new!

Supplies (all Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted):

Paper: Brilliant Blue, Whisper White card stock
Ink: Brilliant Blue
Accessories: Starburst punch; ladybug, grasshopper, dragonfly shapes (Jolee's Boutique); Action Wobble Spring (Raisin Boat); Corner Chomper (We R Memory Keepers)

The sentiment and grasshopper in the middle of the card are mounted on an Action Wobble Spring to add a fun bit of movement to this card.

Stamps: Happy Wishes (WPlus9 Design Studio)
Paper: Crumb Cake, Whisper White card stock
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Crumb Cake; Raspberry, Blossom, Willow (Close to My Heart)

The little dots on the card base are made with a glitter marker, so they add a fun little sparkle.
