Happy Sunday and Happy New Year, friends!
Time for first creative challenge of 2024 over at The Paper Players!
This week, the lovely Ann is hosting our Theme Challenge.
Our theme this week is “Cheers to the Years” and we are sharing projects celebrating BIRTHDAYS! What a great way to kick off the new year then by getting a head start on that stash of birthday cards, right? We all need ‘em, so why not play along and share your crafty ideas. I sure hope you will join us over at The Paper Players. We’d love to see what YOU create!
*I’ve shared a full supply list of products used to create this card at the end of this post.
For my card, I decided to use the new Hot Air Balloon stamps and dies from the Stampin’ Up!® January - April 2024 Mini Catalog. This little bundle is so much fun and creates the happiest cards. It was one of the first sets on my list to order and I’m so happy I did!
The coordinating Lighter Than Air Designer Series Paper and Rainbow Adhesive-Backed Dots compliment this set beautifully and I just love the soft mix of colors. There is also a set of baker’s twine that also coordinates so this site really has everything you need to create happy birthday cards and more!
Finally, here is a peek inside the card! I simply added a strip of DSP and coordinating sentiment. I made a dozen of these cards for a demonstrator swap because you can never have too many birthday cards in your stash, right?
I hope you will join us this week over at The Paper Players and share your project for our "Cheers to the Years” Theme Challenge. We’d love to see what you come up with! You can link up your project through Noon PST on Friday January 12th, 2024.
This is our first challenge with our 2024 Guest Designers! Welcome Cynthia Stevenson and Jolanda Johnstone! Looking forward to creating alongside you this year. :-)
