I am not sure if I had shared why this birthday card kick began for my coworkers so I thought I would share today.
The mood in the office had began to be low, people seemed sad, tired and somewhat unhappy. I wanted to do something to help lift the mood and my coworkers spirits. So I decided to make each person a handmade birthday card. We celebrate birthdays quarterly so I just make the cards and have them for each person at the quarterly birthday celebration.
I started after the first quarter birthdays so I had to hand deliver those but I am caught up for the second quarter only had four to make. I am on to quarter three with about 13 cards to make.
It has been a lot of fun and heartwarming for me to do thus project. I love the joy it has brought to my coworkers. So I decided Inwould share most of my cards for this project on my blog. I am new to this blog thing so thank you for hanging with me and any feed back you may have.
So let's move on to the card. This is my birdie birthday card hope you enjoy.
I created the birds using my expression 2 circut essentials cartridge using the drop and drops on page 33. The paper used for the birds was some from my stash. The black mat was from the French Manor cartridge. Tag1 background pg 56 cut out using black core'dinations paper.
The background paper is from a studio g paper pack green from Michaels
The banner is green paper from my stash along with the buttons.
The happy birthday stamp is an old CTMH stamp I do not know the set name but it is at least 5 years old. I masked off the word birthday and stamped happy and then masked off happy and stamed birthday so the could go size by side. On the wood block they are vertical not horizontal.
I placed the banner on foam circles by Elmer's
I hope you find inspiration and enjoy this card.
I am so grateful that I am able to share my love of art and crafting with you thank you for stopping by, please leave a commit let me know what you think.
The Grateful Crafter
