How to Truly Celebrate A Birthday!

DSC_0035 Bear BalloonsDSC_0037 Bear Hugs Inside

Welcome to the Pals Blog Hop for April 2016.  We are thankful you stopped by to take a look at our new 2016 Blog Hop monthly themes.  This month we are featuring projects that are all about our families. This is a great time of year to think about what to make for Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, or upcoming graduations. And, family vacations are just around the corner… how would you want to remember those special family moments? We hope to provide you with lots of ideas and that you enjoy our creations.

Birthdays to me are a great time to celebrate with family.  We celebrate each birthday with the musical cake plate.  This started with my mother and I am keeping the tradition alive. Come celebrate with my birthday card.

Tips

Stamp Set:  Party with Cake, Balloon Celebration, Bear Hugs

Color Combination: Tangelo Twist, Blackberry Bliss, Lost Lagoon, Hello Honey

I chose to use some of the retiring colors for the balloons. This is my way of celebrating what colors may be leaving us.

Ink:  Blackberry Bliss, Lost Lagoon, Tangelo Twist, Hello Honey, Archival Black, Chocolate Chip (bear)

Embellishment: Linen Thread

Paper: Tangelo Twist, Whisper White

Accessories: Bear Hugs Framelits, Party Pop-Up Thinlits

Note: If you bundle the Party Pop-Up Thinlits Dies with the Party with Cake you will save 15%% (#140814) and the same is true with Bear Hugs. Bundle the framelits and stamp set save 15% (#140823).

How She Did It:  For the inside of the card I slipped a 3″ piece of paper in the back of the pop up and colored with markers of same color as the balloons on front. This prevented color on the background.

You may just be starting the Blog Hop or may have come from the previous link from the Line-up on the Pals Blog Hop listing shown below.  The full lineup will help you move along from blog to blog so you may see all the projects.

  1. Great use of these colors, Pamela! What a fun bouquet of balloons!

  2. Pamela, such a cute card! I love that you used the soon-to-be-retired In Colors for your balloon colors. Love that bear! And then the surprise 3D for the inside. A very fun card!
