Happy 16th Birthday for Just Add Ink #390 Sketch
Happy 16th Birthday – Just Add Ink 390
Happy Tuesday All!
The holidays have my internal schedule on high havoc. I started my post for today as Happy Hump Day only to realize it’s only TUESDAY! I definitely do not need the days to go any faster, I am already behind on shopping, we only have a few gifts purchased and I still have so much decorating to do. You may see reduced activity on my blog this week as I turn my focus to my family. I am sure you all can understand that.

I think that the Milestone Moments & Number of Years Stamp Sets are the perfect match for creating cards for special moments in life. I have used it on 40th Birthday Card and now the 16th Birthday. (You can see my 40th Birthday Card Post here). I love stamp sets that are fun and versatile, anything that gets numerous uses is well worth the investment!
Can you believe it, another card using the Ink Smooching Technique! I just cannot seem to create a card these days without adding it. If you haven’t downloaded my step-by-step tutorial on ink smooching and watercolor background, you can download it now by CLICKING HERE.
The Just Add Ink #390 Sketch was the perfect layout for my 16th Birthday Card! I love using White Stampin’ Emboss Powder on Basic Black Cardstock. It adds a wow factor with little effort. Use the Banner Triple Punch to flag the ends easily!
This card was for my nephew who turned 16. We celebrated with a dinner at one of our favorite restaurants that just happens to be half-way between us and them. If you live in the Twin-Cities, I highly recommend Sal’s Angus Grill in Stillwater, MN. It’s a lot of food, so go hungry!

I love some bold black and white stripes and they make fabulous background here for a striking teen birthday card – love them combined with the blue too! Thanks for joining us at Just Add Ink this week.
Thank you, Kim! I cannot get enough of that Petal Passion DSP! I am going to overuse the heck out of it! hehe…
This is fabulous Stesha! Your background stripes are so striking and I love the pop of inky colour amongst the black and white details. Thanks for sharing with us at Just Add Ink this week.
Thanks this card helped me out today. Cased it for my son’s birthday card. I love your creativity!
