Welcome to the Stamptastic Friends August Blog Hop and this month it's all about Celebrations. I love creating cards to help celebrate special occasions for family and friends. Whether it is a birthday, wedding, anniversary, new baby or any of the other milestones in our lives, it is so much fun to create a one of a kind card to recognize that moment. Our wonderful Design Team members will be sharing their projects and ideas to help inspire you to create your own wonderful projects.
One of my favorite things about making my own cards, is the ability to personalize the card to make it special for the person receiving it. For today's celebration card, I wanted to create a fun and pretty birthday card for someone who loves pinks and purples. I chose to use the Silly Goose stamp set as the images and sentiments are fun and whimsical, perfect for a lighthearted birthday card. For the background, I chose one of the designs from the Bright & Beautiful 6"x6" Designer Series Paper that reminded me of confetti falling. I love that this card design is a celebration of a special day and a wish for a great year ahead.

This soft and pretty card was so much fun to create. The designer series paper background helped set the tone for this card and it gave me the colors for the design. I chose to use Fresh Freesia for the card base and the matte layer and used soft pretty pastels to color the focal image. The Bubble Bath sentiment label and embellishments add a subtle contrast and coordinate with the designer series paper. The Pastel Adhesive Backed Sequins add a touch of sparkle and blend in with the pattern of the designer series paper. The bow at the top of the card helps finish off the design. I hope this pretty birthday card will help brighten someone's special day.
