Birthday Dash with Box Buddy

~ moanaj ~ Leave a comment

Someone you know having a birthday and need a card right away?  Why not make a card with a matching box buddy?  It may look like it took a lot of time, but it was super quick.  Enough said.

I used one sheet of sahara sand to base both of these projects.  I cut a 6 x 6 portion first and used the remaining for the card.  It came together really nice actually.

When you have paper as beautiful as the birthday bash set, you really want to showcase it.  I usually don’t cover it, but I felt the need to play with this awesome ribbon!  It is huge, soft, and full of color.  Too much fun.

The card is a bit off normal size, but only a 1/2 inch shorter.  Yes, it will fit perfectly in my regular envelopes, no need to make a custom one.  The bit of extra space allows for that huge ribbon.  Perfect!

Get out your pretty paper and put it to work for you.  This paper won’t be around much longer, retiring and all.  I might have to get a bit more, it makes such wonderful birthday cards.

Have a creative day!

Birthday Bash Times Two

~ moanaj ~ Leave a comment

Can you see a theme at my work station?  Yup, still working on birthday cards.  With paper this beautiful, you don’t really need a lot of extras.

Birthday Bash Times Two

I don’t know if you can tell from the photos, but several of the printed balloons are in gold foil.  It is just so pretty.  It could easily have gone without stamping, but I did just for fun.

I thought with the color combination it could easily be masculine.  Even with the seam binding ribbon.  Simple and strong.

I could go on and on, but these cards speak for themselves.  Dip into those pretty papers and put them to work.  Don’t be shy, just cut into them and make something beautiful.  That is why you bought them, right?

Have a creative day!

Birthday Bash with Bermuda Bay and Age Awareness?

~ moanaj ~ Leave a comment

Just what does all of that have in common?  Well, it comes together to make one fantastic birthday card for one fantastic friend!

Age Awarness

What do we have going on here?  Bermuda bay with the awesome birthday bash designer series paper paired perfectly with the Age Awareness stamp set.  Don’t forget that bit of gold glimmer paper.  Gotta love the bling!

Age Awareness

When I showed my girls this little card they both agreed that it looked like a party.  I couldn’t agree more.  Birthdays are all about good friends and fun times together.

Age Awareness

The gift that goes along is all about paper crafting too.  The fun just doesn’t end!

Have a creative day!

Birthday Card Bonanza!

So, am I a bad blogger, or a busy one?  Maybe a bit of both.  I had prepared cards to share for Friday, Saturday, and today.  They were even all ready Thursday evening.  Obviously many things got in the way.  On with the show!

Birthday Bash

Either way, you still get to see them all.  I had mention previously that I have been making a collection of birthday cards by request.  Maybe you will be one of the lucky ones who get one?

Birthday Cards

If you have a February birthday, you just might be in luck.  The designer paper on these last two cards really is just too amazing to cover up with much of anything.  The photos don’t show it as well as I would have liked, but they have gold foil elements in them.

Birthday Cards

They just kind of stand out on their own.  Well, just like any beautiful card should do, right?

I suppose I could have waited and used these cards for the next three posts, but I have already made some awesome Valentine’s day cards I want to share!  We are  now officially caught up.  Feels great!

Have a creative day!
