Birthday Friends

Howdy, friends! We’ve made it to the halfway point thru the week and will soon be on the downhill slide. As we count down the final days of junior high, our days are beginning to get really busy. This weekend is one of those on-the-go weekends with school activities spanning the weekend and into next week.

We’re continuing our celebration design series this week. And today we’re turning to birthdays. This is a super simple combo that comes together in a snap and packs a lot of punch without a lot of work. We’re letting the new Silly Old Bear paper sit front snd center.

We get started with a base of Shaded Spruce cardstock. A sheet of the neutral floral pattern from the Delicate Dreams paper pack serves as our backdrop for the focal panel. The background panel is wrapped in Shaded Spruce & Soft Sea Foam striped ribbon before it’s adhered to our card front. The focal image from the Silly Old Bear paper pack is cut out with the coordinating die from the Sweet Words & Labels set. We mat our focal image with some green Garden Textures specialty paper that is cut with one of the larger dies from the Sweet Words set. The two panels are adhered together with dimensionals and then mounted on our card front with dimensionals, as well. We tuck our sentiment from the Saying Something ephemera pack down in the corner of our focal panel and adhere it with several layers of dimensionals so it stands nice & tall above everything else. We add just a touch of twinkle with some drusy embellishments.

And just like that, you have a super cute birthday card. I hope you’ll drop by tomorrow to see what we’re celebrating next!
