Basic Grey Day

Well, a Basic Grey day is not like a typical gray day!  I seriously needed to sit down and mass produce some simple birthday cards as I was running waaaaay behind on my greetings!  So for my guy cards, I pulled out my Boxer DP, the birthday sentiment from Kitchen Sink's 3-Step Daisy, and some Confetti Cream cardstock and went to work.  I haven't pictured all of my samples here, but you get the idea:

My gals' cards used the same layout, but Lily Kate DP, different cardstock & embellishment:

To get three cards from one sheet of 6x6 Basic Grey paper, I cut a 4" piece from one side and cut it in half so I had two 4"x3" pieces.  I adhered each piece on to a card in the landscape orientation.  The remaining piece I trimmed to a length of 5 1/4" and adhered it to a card in the portrait orientation.  The sentiments used scraps I cut down to fit the sentiment.  The embellishments were punched out & adhered with dimensionals.  Can't get much easier than this!

I also needed a card that was a little more personalized, so I stamped this one:

Of course, her birthday is TODAY!  Nothing like being a tiny little bit late!   Kiwi Kiss is a hard color to photograph! But it is layered on white with Baja Breeze and Not Quite Navy Patterns DP from the Level 1 Hostess Pack.    It's going out in the mail today!
