A Bearable Birthday!

 

Hello, friends!

Welcome back to Paper Play.  Do you ever find yourself needing a quick birthday card and not having the right one in your stash?  It's nice to be able to fall back on something to help save you time when that happens - and that's the focus of today's post.  Blank Page Muse has a great digital download kit, It's Your Party, that will all will you to create a really nice handmade card.  It has a variety of papers, ephemera, greetings, and more.  I chose a paper that I really liked and paired it with one of Rick St. Dennis' adorable bear stamps.  The result is a card that is certain to make someone smile!

 

Here's what I used to create it:

 Here's how I made it:

  • Used the printer app for my printer to reduce the size of the digital background paper for the card (3.75" x 5") and printed it.
  • Adhered printed panel to card base with double sided tape, stamped the sentiment, and applied Glossy Accents to the balloons on the panel to give them texture and make them shine.  TIP: use a heat tool on low or a hair dryer to speed up the drying time of the glossy accents!
  • Stamped the bear onto white card stock; colored the image with a mix of alcohol markers, pastel gel pens, and glitter gel pens; fussy cut the image.
  • Adhered the bear to the card with a Wobbler Action Spring, which gives the bear some motion when tapped.
  • Placed two rows of rainbow gems under the sentiment.


Such a quick way to make a colorful and fun birthday card!
