You can never have enough birthday cards on hand. Someone you know just had, is having or will have a birthday soon. I can’t seem to keep up. How do you do with sending out your birthday cards?
Today’s card is one we made at my recent Card Buffet. No punching or die-cutting. Just a few layers, some designer paper and a quick bow.
It’s easy to come up with a color combination for a card when you start with designer paper. These two papers are from the Party Animal Designer Series Paper Pack. This package of designer paper uses fun colors like Pacific Point and Tangerine Tango that you see on this card. I really like when Stampin’ Up! comes out with new papers because a lot of time they use colors that I don’t often use. For example on this card….orange isn’t usually my go-to color unless its October and I’m making Halloween cards but it sure makes this card pop! Pacific Point also isn’t one of my go-to colors. If I need a blue I usually start with Night of Navy. I like when I can get out of my box.
Do you have a favorite designer series paper from the new Occasions Catalog? I haven’t quite decided what mine is yet. I love the bright colors in the Party Animal package (pg 5) and the Bohek designs in the Falling in Love package (pg. 51)are gorgeous. The color combinations in the Tasty Treats Specialty package of papers (pg. 33) are yummy and the colors in the Succulent Garden package (pg. 21) are beautiful together. It’s a really tough choice. I’ll let you know if I ever make up my mind. 🙂
Have a wonderful, colorful day! Take care and Happy Stamping!
