One would think that being that I own an online craft store selling cards and other paper goodies that I would have a great stash of Birthday cards available to send to friends and family. Well I hate to bust that illusion out to space but, that is not my reality. I tend to wait until last minute and put together something. A little stressful yes but that’s what I do.
So yesterday (on my sister’s birthday) I made her this card. I used Simple Stories ‘Happy Day’ paper that I have horded like forever. I love the rich somewhat muted colors. They make me think of fall. I added some bling and colored up a Saturated Canary digi. I added a little Wink of Stella to her lips to give her the lip gloss look. I like using my digis in multiple ways. This one was meant to be a Valentine image but I thought it would be cute as a birthday so I added the words in Silhouette and print and cut her out.
I pulled out a kraft envelope from my stash (Thank you Ashley for getting me to order bulk with you!) and sized the card accordingly.
The inside I used coordinating paper and left it simple so I can write a clever message in it. Possibly begging for forgiveness for m tardiness.
Well I am off to do some more crafting. I hope you all have a blessed day!
