*Create It 3-Ways Instagram Hop*

 This month for the Create It 3-Ways Instagram Hop, we are playing with the theme of birthday.  Each month, a group of us chooses at least ONE thing from our stash and we make three different cards following a common theme.  We are trying to show you different ways to use your supplies.  Sometimes I have chosen the same colour combination, the same stamps or dies, the same pattern paper, the same technique.

Today I have used the same stamps and dies for all three cards...

My first card is a mini slimline (because you know I love them!).  I chose to stamp the image on some colourful pattern paper and put them on my card.

For my second card, I went a lot more clean and simple, using just the smaller postage pieces that I coloured with Copics.  I layered the sentiment over the focal point to keep things more clean and simple.
