September Stamp of the Month - Poster Tidings Birthday Presents

I love September !!

It's filled with lots of birthday celebrations of family and friends, including mine!  

Here are just a few of the birthday packages I've wrapped up.  I cut a basic tag shape in CTMH Kraft paper from the CTMH Cricut Art Philosophy Collection.  I stamped the September Stamp of the Month - Poster Tidings in Bamboo ink on Colonial White CS.  I then added "Happy Birthday" banners stamped in Slate Ink.

Happy Birthday to everyone who is celebrating this month!
