Today is the last day of my birthday cards series. I had hoped to post more, but we’ve had so many events in the works that I didn’t have as much time to work on them as I planned. I did enjoy focusing on one theme for the whole month, though, so I think I’ll continue that for April to see how it goes.
Don't forget that tomorrow, April 1, is the beginning of The Craft Squad blog hop. Our theme for April is “Hoppity Hop Hop”, so you can be there will be some really cute Easter projects hop hop hopping your way! I can’t wait to show you the projects I made. I did not one, but three Easter cards, and they are just too cute for words!
After I made my three cards, I had some scraps left over, so I made two more cards, one of which I will share with you today as the last birthday card for March.
If I could remember where the paper came from, I would tell you, but to be honest, I think it was something that came in a multi-pack I picked up at some scrapbooking sale. I just loved the color combo and had to have it. The cardstock is Stampin’ Up Bermuda Bay, Old Olive and Very Vanilla. I also used the Stampin’ Up oval and scalloped oval punches and the Create a Cupcake stamp set. The rest of the card was a series of Cricut cuts. The filigree square was cut using the Cindy Loo cartridge and I backed it with a square of Very Vanilla cardstock. I used Close to My Heart’s Art Philosophy cartridge to cut the rosettes.
I started with just the black rosette, and then decided that the black was too dark and ominous. In retrospect, I probably should have used the Very Vanilla again, but I added the white and had them glued down before I realized that there was no other white on the card. The other cards I did in this series (some of which you will see tomorrow) all had a mixture of both white and vanilla, so I’m okay with the white on this one, but I would do it differently if I had to do it over again.
That’s it for today. Be sure to stop by tomorrow for the blog hop!
