Today is Tracy's birthday, and what fun to be able to celebrate it in sunny Florida! When Papertrey Ink released "Zappy Birthday" I just fell in love with it. I decided I didn't need the stamps, just the die cuts and so far, I'm happy with that decision.
The patterned papers are from a pad called "Comic Strip," released at the same time. The sentiment is from a W Plus 9 set, "Super Star."
Here's the inside:
I have to admit this card took me quite awhile to put together. My desk was cluttered with all kinds of die cuts in different colors and patterned papers. I tried vertical cards, horizontal cards, and all kinds of arrangements when I finally came up with this, and I do like it a lot.
I made a second card for my niece's husband, Kevin, while I had all the die cuts out. This one looks more complicated, but in reality, came together quite quickly, thanks to the patterned paper.
It's really a fun card, and Kevin is a fun guy so I hope he likes it! The sentiment is from "Sentiment Sampler" by Paper Smooches, as is the inside sentiment:
The font of this set seemed to fit the playful nature of the card.
Off to celebrate!
