I haven't spent much time at the crafting table this week, but I did get a few cards made for upcoming birthday for some little ones. In May, both my grand-nephews have birthdays. (And both are named Finn! One on my side of the family, and one on Tracy's.) I made identical cards for them.
I love the Simon Says "Picture Book Love Bear" die. It takes several runs through the die cutting machine. In this case the body in kraft cardstock, and scraps for the tummy and nose, the inside of the ears, the eyes and nose, and the little red heart. I started by running the Reverse Confetti "Stitched Rays" cover through the die cutting machine in Bright Buttercup. Then I die cut a circle from that. After sponging some Altenew "Sea Glass" ink on the white card underneath, I assembled the little bear just below the circle on the white card.
Then I used two Spellbinder circle dies to cut a frame from Aqua Mist cardstock to frame him. The sentiment from MFT "Birthday Bears" was white embossed on black cardstock, and added to the front of the card. I think it makes for a bright and cheery card! I'm posting this to the Seize the Birthday Challenge: Anything Goes just under the wire.
