Trio of Birthday Cards


Today I'm sharing a trio of birthday cards that I discovered in my 'In Progress" bin. Well, the patterned paper panels were in there, all cut to size. I pulled the papers out, decided on the layout that I must have been imagining when I did the cutting (years ago) then added some narrow gold tape for shine.

Cutting Karen Burniston's Happy Birthday & shadow dies from both gold mirror cardstock and white, I completed the card fronts. I also finished off a sheet of Peel Off stickers from my stash, with the gold party hats. These catch the light and show up better in real life than in the pics.


Here is a peek at the inside and all three cards were donated to my Mom's old nursing home.


Having been asked how many cards I make I thought it would be fun to keep track this year. Many of my posts include more than a single card or project and below is my tally.

I decided to cancel the subscription that provided linked thumbnails to what products I used on my cards. It was costing me out of pocket each month, so I’m back to listing what I used. 

Supplies:
Patterned paper - old, from my stash
Narrow gold tape - Amazon .ca
