Birthday Set

This is a cute little birthday card set I made today. I thought it would be perfect for someone who needs a quick summery birthday card for someone. The cards are all 3 1/2"x5" and I made four. I used white cardstock for the base of the card, then cut some tree patterned paper 1/8" smaller. I wrapped the card base with some orange and white plaid ribbon. I cut the clouds from Paper Pups at 1 3/4." There are actually two clouds, but I used my Gypsy to hide the other since I only wanted one on each card. I then flocked the clouds and embossed them with the D'vine Swirls folder and my Cuttlebug. The suns are from Smiley Cards, and I used my Gypsy to hide the face on them. I then used some orange sorbet glitter by Martha Stewart on the outer ring of the sun. I adhered them to the card with pop-dots. I added some orange bling around the sun on each card. My sentiment is stamped in verdigris ink by ColorBox on white cardstock. I then matted it with some orange cardstock, which is cut 1/8" larger than the white. For the inside I just matted some white cardstock with dark green and orange cardstock. Each layer 1/8" larger than the previous one.

I made this card for the following challenges:

• Birthday Sundaes: orange, green, white color combo


• Die Cuttin' Divas: summer fun


• Fantabulous Cricut: outdoor themed project


• Paper Cutz: "the sky's the limit" -feature something found in the sky


• Paper Playtime: summer


• Papercraft Star: sketch
