I love it when there is a challenge out there that works for a card that I need to send to someone! This is exactly what today's post is about! Here you go with a clean and simple birthday card that would be "just perfect" for a child's birthday!
When Stampin' Up! unveiled the new Designer Series Papers this year, the minute I saw this "Sweet Taffy" …I immediately thought of birthdays and I think that this strips screams a child's birthday….do you agree?
Look at how simple this layout is – I call this a "keeper" and one that you should make and then use it again and again changing up the sentiment and the paper….easy = DONE!
The elements of the card are very simplistic…I used a combination of the circle framelts (#5) for the sentiment and then I used the 2 1/2" Circle Punch for the layered circle as well as to cut out the piece in the strip of paper.
This is a great basic Birthday Stamp Set, love the name….Remembering Your Birthday. We all have many Birthday cards to send throughout the year, I think that there is something that fit your needs!
I know that this envelope is going to make you smile…another double whammy! I will say, I did use the stamp-a-ma-jig…I wanted to make sure that I was straight! On the inside of the card I stamped a sentiment and added a couple of candles (from the Big News Stamp Set)
Here's a peek of the inside of the card! This is a fun font and the little addition of the candles was the perfect finishing touch!
I hope that you go to The Paper Players Website to see the other fun Birthday Cards that many talented hands created! I just love to see how others view a challenge!

Too cute ! love the circle cut out …you are right about this being a “Keeper” type . And yes the DSP does fit the bill for a child`s birthday . But…anybody would like to have this cute card in their mail box.
Great card . . . going to try it for my sister’s birthday tomorrow. I’ll send you a pic. 🙂
Nicely done, Susan. Love the stitching around the edge. Thanks for playing with the Paper Players!
Love the flowers slanted across the circles of your card. Very clever, just like you!
I think this layout is a keeper too! Love it! Thanks for sharing this with the Paper Players this week, and participating in my challenge!
Susan, this paper is perfect for a birthday card! The stitching around the edge looks great and I love that you decorated the inside of your card, too! Thank you for joining us at The Paper Players this week! XX
