Birthday Cards for my Birthday Month

Hello and welcome to my blog. April is my Birthday month which I share with lots of my friends and family. I thought I'd share a few Birthday cards I made to send out. 

With the Annual Catalog retiring, I realized I had only used (1) of the cute images from the Glad We're Friends set which is retiring. This little god with fan blowing at him is so cute. The Growing Old sentiment is sort of my mantra as I rarely 'act my age' - LOL

The 2023 Jan- April Mini catalog is also retiring. My favorite Fancy Flors Designer Series paper has come in handy to make lots of cards this spring. I made this Birthday card using a sketch that mixes up paper sizes and designs from the same pack of DSP; a great way to use up your DSP. (details noted for card #2 above)

Here's another example using different designs from the Fancy Flora DSP, Night of Navy card base & ink and a different sentiment made during my Spring Fling Card class. Such a versatile paper and Bundle 


Speaking of the retiring catalogs, don’t forget about the Last Chance Lists. Items above listed 'available' were at the time I wrote the post (4/7)
