OK!  I'm sold! The Stampin' Up! Jolly Bingo Bits set (wood, clear) is as much fun to "play" with as the Spooky Bingo Bits Set!  Love it! 

I decided to create a Christmas tree shape using these little images and the new, 1 1/4" Scallop Circle Punch in the Holiday Catalog.  That punch is a must-have!  I have used it so many times with these Bingo Bits images. Be sure to check it out HERE!

Taking a little break from Stampin' Up! holiday/Halloween projects and sharing this birthday card I created for a friend using the Stampin' Up! You're Amazing set (wood, clear) and the World Spectacular Designer Series Paper.
You just can't beat this combo for spectacular birthday cards of all ages and for either gender.  The colors and images are cheery and bold with a carnival flair.  This  has been my go-to combo for many birthday cards for family and friends.

 

inkings:

• Stampin' Up! Core'dinations card stock in Early Espresso from the Holiday Catalog provides a backdrop for the birthday greeting. Texture provided by the Square Lattice Textured Impressions Folder.
• An Apothecary Accents Framelits cut in a diamond print provides a good pop of color and a nice contrast to the striped background layer.
• A Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border in Daffodil Delight anchors the main image to the card.
  
• Vintage Trinkets brads add a touch of masculinity.
  
  
  What's your favorite go-to set for making birthday cards?  Let us know in the comment section!
  Hope you have a great Thursday!
