You Deserve a Happy Birthday!

Hi there!  It's snowing like crazy this morning but that's what it does in the winter in Montana, so no surprises here!  I'm always glad to get a fresh batch that covers up the old snow- sure is pretty!

Birthdays continue to be the #1 reason to send a card and this wonderful new set from the Occasions Catalog does not disappoint!  It's called Balloon Adventures:

There are framelits that coordinate with this stamp set as well and I used the bow framelit for my fancy bow.  What do you think of the balloons?  I used the two-step stamping technique with a lighter shade of yellow, blue and green and then went over the top with the stripes and polka dots in a darker shade of yellow, blue and green. I love how they turned out!  My paper choice on this card is from the Party Animal Designer Series Paper...  This is not a tricky card to design or make, but the end result catches your eye!  You can see my supplies below if you are interested in making a card with these stamps. It is also perfect for birthday party favors, a scrapbook page, Project Life, etc.

Hope you have some creative time today! Happy Stampin',
Sarah
