Stamping Inkspirations April Blog Hop Birthdays

Welcome to the Stamping Inkspirations April Blog Hop as we showcase project ideas to help celebrate the birthdays in our lives. Birthdays are a special occasion and everyone gets to enjoy their own special day each year, so why not celebrate it with a card or gift to let them know how much you care. You will be visiting with talented stampers from around the world as they share their projects and ideas to help inspire you.

Today I am sharing a fun, colorful birthday card that would be perfect for the kids in your life. It's been a while since I have played with the Dino Days stamp set (item #149406) and coordinating Dino Dies (item #149636) and I had forgotten how much fun they were to create with. I paired them with one of the designs from the Playing With Patterns 6"x6" Designer Series Paper (item #152490) to create a card that would be great for either boys or girls. I am sorry to see these wonderful products from the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog retire soon. They are great for making cards for kids to celebrate a variety of occasions.

The patterns in the Playing with Patterns 6"x6" Designer Series Paper are perfect for creating cards for kids. The bright cheerful colors and designs make great backgrounds for cards and work well for boys and girls of all ages. The colors I chose for the dinosaurs came from the colors in the background paper to coordinate. I love the way the sentiment pops against the Coastal Cabana cardstock with the White embossing. The happy birthday sentiment is just one of the great options from the Itty Bitty Birthdays stamp set and fit perfectly in the die cut label from the Tasteful Labels Dies. I love how the Purple Posy Resin Dots add a nice embellishment without being too over the top.
