Epic Birthday Celebration – Never Too Old To Celebrate
Epic Birthday Celebration
Each and every birthday is an epic birthday celebration!. You likely wonder why? Each of us has a birthday every year and we need to celebrate it because you never know if you get to celebrate the next one.
I am thinking about the terrible shooting in Parkland Florida last week. For many parents, other family and friends will never get to celebrate a birthday with 17 people. You never know when someone walks out the door in the morning if they will return that night.
These people in Parkland had no idea they wouldn’t return. My heart goes out to the family and friends. In my heart I hope that something good will come from this horrible and life changing event. I also have to commend the students who are standing up to government about gun control. #neveragain
It’s my grandson’s 14th birthday today. Where has time gone too? He is in high school and starting to make his way in the world.
When I saw the Epic Celebrations stamp set in the Sale-a-Bration catalogue, I knew I could make some great cards with the stamp set. Not only does it have running shoes, there is also a guitar and headphones that you can have fun with.
Epic Birthday Celebration Recipe
Stamps: Epic Celebrations.
Ink/Marker: Basic Gray,
Paper: Thick Whisper White, Whisper White, Soft Sky, Basic Black, Pop of Pink Designer Series Paper, Picture Perfect Party 6” x 6” Designer Series Paper.

Highlights To Create This Celebration Card
- On a piece of Soft Sky cardstock, stamp several shoes from the Epic Celebration stamp set using Basic Gray ink.
- When the ink is dry, use the Watercolor Pencils to add some colour to the shoes. Because of the light cardstock, Watercolor Pencils show up. Color the soles, laces and bits of the shoe tongue with the Whisper White Watercolor Pencil. Color the remainder of the shoe with the Pacific Point Watercolor Pencil.
- Layer the Basic Black cardstock, the black and white piece of Pop of Color DSP and finally the confetti piece from the Picture Perfect Party DSP stack. If you look closely at the photo, you will see that the DSP papers are on angles.
- Finally, layer a small piece of the Pop of Color DSP, and the Silver Sequin Trim underneath the sentiment. Stamp the sentiment ” You’re Awesome” in Basic Gray on Whisper White cardstock.
The card is almost finished… don’t forget the inside. Present it to someone who who is having an EPIC BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION.
