The retro feel and friendly colors made me nostalgic for birthday parties from when I was a kid. Unfortunately, it was not retro then. Regardless I used this kit to restock my collection of birthday cards for my children to take to friend's birthday parties.

I used the
Club Scrap Deluxe kit and a sheet of vellum for greetings and a few gems from my stash. And something unique for me, no stamping was used to make the cards shown. I simply used fonts from my word processor to make the greetings and printed onto vellum in my home computer. I made sure to leave plenty of drying time after printing onto the vellum. Bellow are the 12 x 12 and 81/2 x 11 papers and used.

Each of the five 12 inch by 12 inch papers was cut into a 5" x 10" to make a 5" x 5" folded card. Remains of those papers were used for the design. My favorite embellishment was the soda bottle caps that came with the kit. Such a unique embellishment. Tools and embellishments for bottle cap cards:

Then each of the three 8 1/2 inch by 11 inch papers were cut in half to make six 4 1/4" by 5 1/2" (A2) folded cards. For these I featured fun retro printed papers. Tools and embellishments for A2 cards are listed below:
- Club Scrap 50s Kitchen ribbons
- Club Scrap 50s Kitchen Washi tape
- Martha Stewart Punches: Optic Dot, Trellis Chain, and Crochet Loop
- Tim Holtz Tiny Attacher
- Sliver Eyelets
- Miscellaneous gems from my stash
