Pennants are on trend right now and so here is a birthday card that I made for another of those spring birthdays that I told you about. I told you there were a lot of us born in spring. LOL
I really like the way this card turned out and hope my friend will enjoy it too when she receives it in the mail. I think its bright and cheerful and just right for a her spring birthday. And although I picked the Geometrical sentiment for a birthday card this time I think the sentiments in this particular set are pretty versatile for all kinds of occasions.
To get started I chose the Birthday Basics Designer Series Paper to use on the pennants and in turn this helped me choose the colors for the rest of the card. Isn’t it great when you use Designer Series Paper? It makes knowing what colors look great together so easy!
And do you see the Itty Bitty Shapes that I included on the pennants? This set of three punches is currently part of our Weekly Deals and are great for all kinds of different things. They add just the right touch of color when you need it and our Basic Rhinestones add a pop of sparkle!
Want to see another project using another of the items from this week’s Weekly Deals?
Well check out the Gingham Stampin’ Around Wheel used for my next card.
I’ve used the standard sized Gingham Wheel to add a band of color along the lower edge of this all occasions card – and it too is part of our Weekly Deals. Whoo hoo!
Wheels are so easy to use and when you’re using them for a small section like I did here you can just use your Classic Stampin’ Pad. Want to create a longer run with a wheel? Try our Uninked Stampin’ Around Cartridges! They make it easy.
