Stampin' Up! birthday card - prettypapercards - stampinup

Even though we are now into the holiday season, we still have birthdays to remember! And today’s card is a fun birthday card with a hint of the holidays 🙂 The design is from the Global Design Project for this week ~ here’s the sample design I followed:

This is a fun sketch! I don’t think I’ve ever punched a circle out of the side of a panel of cardstock the way it is here in the sketch. But it was new and I enjoyed the challenge!

For me the focus of the card is the darling plaid background from a sheet of the Under the Mistletoe Designer Series Paper. This paper is in the Annual Catalog, so you can get it all year long!! I just really like this plaid. Here are the colors I used:

Granny Apple Green is so pretty. It’s bright and clear, a wonderful fresh green. And Lovely Lipstick is such a dark pink it almost looks red in some settings. Combining these colors makes a modern twist on the standard holiday colors!

The little sprigs/berries were cut from the Frosted Bouquet Framelits Dies. FYI, these dies are carrying over from the Holiday Catalog! That means they will be available into the new year! Yippee!

I’d love to hear what you think of this color combination! And, I so enjoy your comments!
