I spent some time the other day organizing my 'happy birthday' stamps and ran across a sentiment from Penny Black that was perfect with the stars.

Twofer Card Challenge #13 and Seize the Birthday #159
It's hard to believe that Twofer Cards is on their lucky 13th challenge. It seems like just yesterday that Darnell put this together with a fabulous Design Team to help us stretch our stamps. This month the challenge is
I started looking through my stamps, not thinking I had many star ones and found a few I had overlooked. We often do that with some of the smaller images in stamp sets.
The stars came from a set by Catherine Pooler which is where I also got the sentiment and larger star on the Christmas card.
I started by white heat embossing the stars. The nativity is a NBUS set from Woodware that I stamped in black using my MISTI. I inked the panel with Distress Inks and then restamped the black.
I spent some time the other day organizing my 'happy birthday' stamps and ran across a sentiment from Penny Black that was perfect with the stars.
I dressed up the EBE bear for a party, coloring the hat and cupcake with PolyChromos pencils and popping him over the yellow stars. Here are the parameters for the Twofer Challenge.
I will also be sending that birthday bear to Seize the Birthday where it's an "Anything Goes" challenge.

Hooray! So happy to find you in the gallery, Bobby! These are two wonderful cards. It's so cool how you've utilized the star stamp in two such different ways. That birthday card is cute, cute, cute. Great sentiment, too. And your Christmas card is lovely. Wish I could create as pretty a night sky as you've got here, too. Just love them both. Thank you so very much for joining us at the Twofer Challenge! xoxo Bev
Your bitty stars sure do work beautifully for these two cards, Bobby! One uber-cute for a birthday, and the other serene and lovely for Christmas. I just love the birthday sentiment. It's perfect with your star sprinkles. I'm so glad you found something you could use for our Twofer Challenge!
Love the way you've used the stars on not one but two birthday cards! Fabulous work Bobby1
Fantastic star cards Bobby!! I LOVE your gorgeous Nativity scene with the beautiful stary night sky. And the bear is so adorable with his rainbow birthday hat and delicious cupcake. The stars behind him are so cute and PERFECT sentiment. Thanks for playing along with us at Twofer Card Challenge! xx
Two terrific Twofers, Bobby! I love your galaxy and how you have used it on both your designs! Your nativity scene is divine!

This is a wonderful Twofer, Bobby! Such a serene Holy Night scene with a perfect night sky! Those gold stars sprinkled behind the birthday bear are so festive and how wonderful to have the perfect sentiment in your stash! Thanks for joining in the fun with us at the Twofer Card Challenge!
Fabulous entries to the twofer Bobbie. The yellow stars on your birthday card are so cheery. Your Christmas card is perfect with its starry night sky.
These are fantastic Twofers. I love both designs but I think my favorite is the Nativity one.
Such an awesome Twofer - one of my favorite entries this time. Both are impeccably stamped and have a perfect lay-out. And on top of it , they really are totally different.
Oh Holy Night indeed, Bobby ... a beautiful starlit nativity scene ... where the glow inside the stable is just perfect! I do love Bear ... in any guise ... and dressed up for a star sprinkled birthday party, he's adorable! Delighted to have you playing along with us at Twofer! Hugs, Anita :)
I see a couple of winners here, Bobby! Love the way the stars backing your bear really elevate this card but don't take away from the CAS perfection!
