Hope everyone had a good weekend. I had time to make one card, and this is it! I chose a few challenges to get me started:
The Paper Players #638 – a tic-tac-toe challenge, I used the bottom row – Sparkle – Fun Fold – Birthday and the diagonal ended up working too- Bright Colors – Die Cut – Birthday
Seize the Birthday # 260 – using the topping of balloons
AAA Birthday Game #49 – Balloons
Creative Creases #56 – anything goes with a fun fold
I don’t know what the technical name of this fold is, but I have a template and saw it would work well with the square balloon stamp I wanted to use (from Brutus Monroe). I colored it with bright colors and some a glimmer pen on the strings, die cut it, and added a mat. The bear and bird are from My Favorite Things, colored and with a little paper piecing, and of course some glitter to add more sparkle!
I love all of the fun elements to your design!!! The fold, the fun critters and colorful balloons all make for such a cheery birthday card. Thanks so much for playing with us at the Seize the Birthday challenge!
Awesome pop up card! Thanks so much for sharing your work with us on the AAA Birthday challenge!
Oh, Melanie, this center step card is so cute and festive! Love the bright papers and the adorable bear. Thank you for playing with Creative Creases Challenge. I hope you can join us again soon.
