Thinking of You Week

A Big Dillo

When you have kids, you suddenly learn and use a lot of punnies in your day-to-day. Have you noticed this, too? Perfect example: it’s your birthday and it’s a big dillo. As in, it’s a big deal-io. I know, I know. Slow clap, right?

Well, that little pun is the inspiration behind this birthday card with the cute armadillo bringing the birthday gift. This little fella is one of the characters included in the Zoo Crew designer paper. And I knew it would be perfect for my friend who celebrated a birthday last week.

A sheet of Pretty Peacock serves as the card base and the hearts from the Delightfully Eclectic designer paper pack is the perfect backdrop for the birthday theme. Since pink is my friend’s favorite color, I wanted to make all of the pink elements *pop*. I used the ombre sheet of pink stripes from the Bright & Beautiful designer paper pack to serve as the sentiment panel and base for the cute armadillo, which is fussy cut from the Zoo Crew DSP. Some Wink of Stella on the package really helps it shine. The faceted pink gems keep the focal point tight. And the gusseted taffeta Pretty in Pink ribbon adds an additional feminine touch to the design. But my favorite part of the whole design is that armadillo! Maybe it’s the Texan in me….
