Hello my crafty friends. December birthday cards are really tough to squeeze into the mix of holiday baking, cardmaking and gift wrapping. Whew, so glad that the cardmaking crunch is over. Today I thought I would share one of my December birthday cards combining the Beary Cute collection and A Walk in the Forest Designer Series Paper with the birthday set, Beautiful Balloons. Happy birthday to all those with December birthdays!
This is a top fold A2 card: full sheet of 8 1/2" x 11” cardstock, cut in half at 5 1/2", score at 4 1/4", then fold and burnish the top side for a crisp edge. The Pretty Peacock mat (4” x 5 1/4") and the DSP (4” x 4”) create a beautiful background to the polar bear delivery of balloons and birthday wishes in coordinating Pretty Peacock classic ink. The polar bear is created from the Beary Cute stamp (Pecan Pie classic ink) and punch, then fill in the polar bear using the Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends (light). Coordinating cap ‘n scarf stamped in Pretty Peacock classic ink. Just a hint of Lost Lagoon in the retired ribbon peeking out from behind the balloons.
RANDOM THOUGHTS: I was thinking that my friends born in December might appreciate a birthday card that does NOT include traditional holiday colors of red and green. What do you think?
I (HEART): Love this collection of trees from A Walk in the Forest DSP, especially those stick trees in Pretty Peacock. 😊
Thank you for stopping by my blog today! I hope my project has inspired your creativity. I would love to see what you have created. Feel free to leave a positive comment below with a trail to find you so I can find your creations out on the "www" - I look forward to it.
Stamp On!!
