Hello Doily: Wedding-Inspired Card

Hello, stampers!  Last fall I shared with you a wedding invitation I created.  I then prepared this post to show you how I translated the invitation idea into a birthday card - and totally forgot to really post it for you!

Here's another peek at the invitation . . .

. . . and here's the birthday card I created!

I really liked how it turned out - and made several for various occasions, just changing up the sentiment on the front.

All supplies are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted.

Stampin' Easy Birthday Card

Ever have a birthday sneak up on you unawares?  That happens to me a lot - turn the calendar page and oh no! there's a birthday listed!  Here's a quick and easy card with a lot of WOW that you can whip together in a hurry.

It's the little things that really set this card apart - layering the flower parts, the center pearl, the soft Seam Binding ribbon against the metallic glitz of Glimmer Paper, and generous layer of Designer Series Paper!
