Here’s one final card for the CASual Friday Birthday Bash celebration.
This is one of those cards that had multiple iterations before it was done. I wanted to use the new Wonderful Words: Birthday die as well as the patterned papers from Lawn Fawn’s Daphne’s Closet that came with the Simon Says March card kit. I tried a lot of different ideas, but finally ended up with a birthday banner and a card I’m quite happy with. The card stock (all Bazzill except for Neenah Solar White) came from the kit as well.
The banner dies are Papertrey Ink’s Countdown banners folded in the middle, and I selectively stamped Big And Wishes from two different sets: Birthday Bash and 2012 Birthday Tags.
Spring has finally sprung here, and it’s simply gorgeous. I’ve managed to walk over ten miles in the last several days, walking when I normally would have driven—to the library on Friday, a walk through the park on Saturday, to breakfast with Tracy on Sunday, and to meet a friend for lunch this afternoon. So good to be outside again instead of on the treadmill!
Great work with both of those dies! The birthday one is particularly eye-catching.

I love how your card ended up,Karen….and the colours really zing.
Spring has arrived here as well….and although still chilly in the mornings we’ve had a week of gloriously sunny weather.
These little tags in your bunting are very sweet! Glad you are enjoying the feeling of Spring …
All that walking sounds fantastic! A colleague and I are planning to start walking on one of our early finish days – we have plenty of steep hills locally so it’ll be quite a challenge!
Yes, it simply zings!
It still feels a bit cold for a lot of walking here, but maybe that’s me making excuses..
Karen, I love your CAS birthday banner! It is so striking! Thanks for playing along with us at CAS-ual Fridays!
‘quite pleased’ !! I would be thrilled if I made a card as gorgeous as this one Karen. Well done with the walking and yes it is really wonderful that your spring has arrived at last.
See, that’s the great thing about you, Karen. You mix all those different dies and stamps and come up with something fabulous. It’s a great card!
So glad to hear that the weather is finally nice enough for you to enjoy a walk outside!
