A Heartfelt Birthday!

Happy Birthday / November 3, 2020

Good morning all, hope you are having a blessed day! Today I am using the buffalo check background stamp to create a special birthday card for a friend. I used the new Curvy Celebrations Bundle, which you can now purchase and craft along with me, yay!

I would love to see your creations. I began with a Whisper White card base and using the Stamparatus, stamped the Buffalo Check background in memento black in on the bottom of my card. I added a curvy layer of Basic Black and Whisper White to the top portion of the card.

I stamped the birthday greeting from the Quite Curvy set. The large black and white heart is from the Heartfelt Bundle and I cut off the outer edge so it would mount on top of the Real Red scalloped punch. The red and black hearts were stamped in Memento Black on Real Read cardstock and yes, I did fussy cut them with my Paper Snips.

I used Real Red cardstock to punch a smooth heart from the Heart Punch Pack. I really love those punches. Change the greeting and this would make a great Valentine’s Day card! Just sayin’. Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you will join me tomorrow! Feel free to leave a comment and have a great day!

Stamping Hugs and Blessings, Renae
