Let Your Hair Down and Create a Birthday Card

April 16, 2015

It's easy to create a birthday card with just a few shapes, some designer paper, and an awesome birthday card greeting.

Here I combined a couple of the bold and graphic patterns included in the Sweet Taffy Designer Paper collection with a greeting from Let Your Hair Down. The vibrant colors and blend of jazzy shapes gives this card a very festive feel. Who wouldn't love to receive it for their birthday?

I used Tempting Turquoise as the color to tie it all together. It's one of my favorite Stampin' Up! colors, so why haven't I used it in so long? With spring and summer coming up I'm sure I'll be relying on it more and more.

Stretch your supplies (and money) by having your card stock do double duty! In this case I cut out the center of the back Tempting Turquoise piece, leaving a border around the outside of about 1/2″ to 3/4″. The center piece was then used to cut out some of the other pieces used to mount the patterned paper and greeting on.
