Happy
Sunday! How has your weekend been? We had an exciting day yesterday but looking
forward to a relaxing day today, heading out for my run now, and then get
started packing for our Spring Break trip (I can’t remember the last time I
took a trip for Spring Break (probably not since middle school and this is also
my birthday week so I’m extra excited!) Since
it’s Sunday, today I’m sharing my card for this weeks Can You Case It? Sketch challenge and this
week we had complete freedom to using any layout, products etc. for our project
so I decided to share the card I made for Aidan’s birthday (of course I had to
wait until after he received the card so I didn’t ruin the surprise) but I
always spend some extra time on his cards so I knew you’d enjoy it!
I
started with Pistachio Pudding cardstock for the cardbase (remember this is one
of the 2013-2015 In Colors that will be retiring in a few months so make sure
to stock up before it sells out). Next I
added a piece of Whisper White cardstock that was matted with Basic Gray
cardstock. I used a piece of Confetti Celebration Designer Series Paper along the bottom
and is a perfect mat for Aidan’s name (he loves personalized things with his
name!) I cut the letters for Aidan’s
name using the Gold Foil Paper, Big Shot,
and Little Letters Thinlits die
(super easy).
For
the main stamped image I stamped the balloon from the Celebrate Today stamp set in Pistachio Pudding ink and then cut it
out with the Big Shot and Balloon Framelits (I used the same
framelit to cut the second balloon out of the Confetti Celebration Designer Series Paper). I added the “10th” inside the
birthday using the Metallic Gold Ink Pad
and the Memorable Moments stamp
set. The “birthday” greeting is from the
same stamp set and was stamped in Basic Gray ink. The final touch was to add some string for
the balloons and I used Crushed Curry
Baker’s Twine and used two pieces to tie a double bow so there are strings
for both balloons and it was tied around the bottom of the top balloon. I popped the top balloon up with dimensionals.
This
card is so fun and has lots of bling that Aidan really liked! it can’t help but brighten your little one’s
day. Make sure to check out the other
design team creations for further inspiration and then come play along, we love
to see what others create.

Have
an enjoyable Sunday!
