Are you a last minute birthday card designer or pick from a well stocked stash? I'm definitely last minute both because I tend to be that way but also so that I can design projects especially for the occasion. A couple of weeks ago, my stepdaughter had a housewarming | birthday party at her new house. This is how I was inspired:
My Stepdaughter is a high school teacher + avid reader. She loves to read sci-fi + fantasy. We're super happy for her to be in her own home. She's worked hard for it.
These are the supplies I used:
- Lawn Fawn - Simply Summer Sentiments
- Lawn Fawn - Beary Rainy Day stamps + lawn cuts
- Lawn Fawn - Mushroom House
- Lawn Fawn - Stitched Woodgrain
- Lawn Fawn - Magic Iris
- Lawn Fawn - Simple Wavy Banners
- Pretty Pink Posh - Simple Sentiments
The pale blue stitched circle is from the Magic Iris set. Yes I could have used a plain circle but why when I have a stitched one?
The hearts [smoke] are from Beary Rainy Day. I thought I could get away with using clouds for smoke but ended up with the hearts. I love how it gives it a cozy feel.
After I put everything together I noticed that the lower portion of the design had more 'free space' than the upper portion so I trimmed down the card. The Stitched Woodgrain is perfect for that, very forgiving for miscalculations.
The weekend is just around the corner, I hope you can spend some time being crafty!
