Occasion Open House Make n’ Take

Occasion Open House Make n’ Take

I just realized with all the craziness going on the last few weeks, I hadn’t shared with you the make n’ take from our Occasion and Sale-A-Bration open house.  It was a super simple card that could be easily mass produced in a variety of 

Happy Birthday!

Well, I thought I would work on some birthday cards – we all need them right?  Something, I don’t often do but should really do more of is using stamps to create the background images.  So, I really should start doing this since I am a Designer Series Paper (DSP) hoarder.  Yep, that’s me, I admit it.  I’m a craft supply hoarder.

I was just stamping away – die cutting away, using the Balloon Adventure set.  I got carried away and even made a few blunders.  Which actually they turned out pretty good too.  So just because they didn’t turn out they way you planed – don’t throw them away.  You would have never guessed these two cards were blunders would you?

Here’s a fun tip – the washi tape holds the swirly circle in place!   The only other adhesive is the dimensionals used to lift the banners.  I must admit, I am a washi tape hoarder.  Over the last few months I’ve learned to let go and use that washi tape!
