Today we are continuing with the birthday fun...cue the elephants! I'm using a darling stamp set from Avery Elle called Ellie designed by Heather Campbell. I am in LOVE with this little elephant and all her cute little accessories. The balloons make it perfect for birthdays and the sentiments and accessories will be great for lots of everyday cards as well. So many possibilities...and you know how I love sets that are versatile..More Bang for your Buck!💥

Sending Birthday Wishes
Today I'm focusing on another basic card type that is great to have on hand...the birthday card. It seems like someone is always having a birthday and it's nice to be able to grab a card whenever you need one.
I knew that a birthday stamp set was going to be one of the first bigger stamp sets I was going to invest in...I figured it would save me money in the long run because birthday cards can be so expensive. I chose the stamp set Sending You by Avery Elle because I felt it was important to focus on the sentiment and this set fit the bill. Plus, it included sentiments that can be used for occasions other than just birthdays. Think thank you notes, Valentines, love and hugs, gift enclosures...so many possibilities. Plus that little paper airplane...and little hearts perfect for love notes...elements of masculine & feminine...and did I mention ADORABLE!
I started with a pre-folded note card in yellow that had a sweet scalloped border. I knew that I wanted to stamp the sentiment on white card stock and make it pop with a patterned paper. I chose a blue and white stripe from the MFT Birthday blowout paper pack and then cut a 3-1/4 x 4-1/2 piece of Neenah solar white cardstock. I used my stamps to layout th design and then stamped them using Hero Arts black dye ink. I think it turned out to be a well balanced card with a mix of masculine and feminine elements that I could send it to just about anyone.
