My beautiful daughter-in-law recently celebrated her birthday and of course we all love to celebrate. We had dinner out with all the kids and both of my 1.5 granddaughters - a great time together as always!
Loni has always been one of my biggest Crafting Cheerleaders, so it's especially fun to make a card for her each year. I also love the new 'My Spin on the Pin' challenge in our scrapbooking group - sure makes it easier to be creative!
This is the pin I used - http://pinterest.com/pin/82331499410733993/ - and here is my card:
Virtually identical to be sure. The Happy Birthday stamp I used is from Morning Star Stamps, the circle punches and white cardstock are Stampin' Up.
The paper is a pretty cool deal. I'm finding that more and more I'm using digital paper and just printing out what I need. It's far cheaper and a lot less to store. All of the pattern paper on this card is in the Go Floral Paper Pack by Studio Basic.
What I did was open a page in Photoshop Elements, then put two inch squares of each of the pattern paper I wanted to use on the page. Print, then cut to fit the openings I had punched in the card. I used dimensionals to pop up that entire layer.
I'm pleased with how this turned out and of course it could be used for any occasion just by using a different sentiment stamp.
Deep Thoughts: "Smile as much as you can, because today is your special day. Happy, happy Birthday to you!
Very cute card, Elizabeth! So simple yet so festive. Thanks for sharing! And happy birthday to Loni! I know what a special bond you guys have. :-)
