Micro-tip Scissors to dove-tail the pennant banner. I used the New England Ivy Ink to ink up the edges by running the paper over the stamp pad.
I love how much texture this card has from this must have new stamp set from the new Annual Catalogue.

I saw the Inspiration photo and knew it was a perfect opportunity for Distress oxide blending. I pulled out Mustard Seed Distress Oxide™ Ink Pad for the yellow, Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide™ Ink Pad and Mermaid Lagoon Distress Oxide™ Ink Pad. I blended them with my Mini Ink Blending Tool.

I love these colours and I pulled out the cardstock = Wisteria Cardstock, Toffee Cardstock and Evergreen Cardstock. I really wanted to use the Fancy Doilies Thin Cuts that I got in my Hope & Kindness Product Bundle. I LOVE this Doilies thin cut so much so I wanted to create with that.
I cut the largest Doily in the Toffee cardstock and the small Doily in Wisteria. I pulled out my Mocha Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad to stamp the Title Celebrate from the For All Occasions stamp set. For All Occasions is part of the Stamptacular sale so its reduced. Its a great set for all your card sentiments.
I stamped the Celebrate on White Daisy cardstock and backed it with Evergreen Cardstock.
I also used the Mocha ink to sponge around the edge of the small wisteria doily and edge the evergreen cardstock and white daisy of the sentiment.
I adhered only the centre with Air Touch Adhesive and had to trim down the large doily and a bit of the small doiley so I used Dual-tip Permanent Glue Pen on the edges of the card under doilies. I used 3D Foam tape under the celebrate already-matted title.
I left the edges of the doily to curl up so it created some dimension. I left a little overlap on the top part of the doily but I checked to ensure it would still fit inside the envelope.
I finished the card with Gold Glitter Gems.

We have had a few rough weeks so I have been behind in crafting and I needed to make my son a card for his 18th Birthday so I did a search on Pinterest and was inspired by this card which was shared by Joely Berry see https://www.pinterest.com.au/pin/14214555065416463/
I decided that this would be perfect for this colour shades purple, blue and green. I pulled out the Block Alphabet Thin Cuts & Numbers but they were the number version which now would be similar to the new Birthday Numbers Thin Cuts or you could use the Slim Numbers Thin Cuts which would also look awesome with this design.So I cut a 12x 6 inch white card base and folded it to a 6x6 card base. Then I cut the scraps of cardstock in Thistle (retired), Grape Cardstock, Sapphire Cardstock, Blue Belle Cardstock (last years colour of the year), Mint Cardstock, Avocado Cardstock and Clover Cardstock. I adhered them with Air Touch Adhesive.
Then I used Sapphire Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad and the Sentiments by Melissa Esplin Stamp to stamp Celebrate and Happy Birthday sentiments.
