When I finally got to spend some time in my craft room today, my top priority was making a birthday card for a young man, turning 19 and just starting college. I spent some time searching for an idea on Pinterest with no success. I was on my own.
I selected paper first and then a Happy Birthday die.
I was not too thrilled with the result. I set it aside and started again with different paper. The second piece of paper turned out more to my liking.
I used CTMH stamps to finish my first attempt, which will go in the SAS4Kids box.
Still on my work area were 2 die cut "Birthday"s. I cut a third one from a scrap of paper and 3 balloons and glued them on another piece of paper, and then stamped "Happy" 3 times up the side. Another card for the SAS4Kids box.

Love your repetitive Birthday and matching balloons. I hope your son had a nice birthday. Your other cards are wonderful too. Love the sweet donkeys. Thanks for playing along at Seize the Birthday.
ReplyDeleteYes, I think you made a good decision! The donkeys are fun and funny - he'll get a kick out of it! It's nice when you find coloured images that you forgot about, so handy! The other two cards are both gorgeous too - I think the chameleon is very cute and I love how his tail has started to change colour with the die-cut. Fun detail! Awesome use of your leftovers too! Sending hugs and happy thoughts your way!
