Another Die Cut Birthday Card

I’m back just under the wire, for another entry into Seize the Birthday’s Die Cut challenge.

I actually made four variations on the same card. Like yesterday’s entry, these cards went out pretty quickly, and I never got around to posting them on the blog. Although one of them actually uses a die for the greeting, I’m entering one with the optional stamped sentiment to the challenge.

In order to create just one card, I needed to die cut a variety of different colors, leaving me with plenty of choices to create more cards. The die, The Stamp Market’s “Color Block 1,”  appealed to me because I felt like it created cards that worked (depending on the colors used) for both males and females–a win/win in my book since so many of my stamps lean toward female recipients.

All the papers used are also from The Stamp Market, and they are so bright and cheerful.

The die cut circle for the sentiment is from Simon Says “Stitched Circles,” and the greeting which fit perfectly inside is from Papertrey Ink’s “Birthday Bash Sentiments” which I turn to over and over again. 

Hope your week is off to a good start. It’s been very chilly here—good for crafting and organizing, not so good for spending time on the patio. It’s supposed to warm up again for the next week, and I hope to make good use of the warmer weather to get outside again while I can.
