Bringing Birthday’s Back

While saying Happy Birthday on Facebook is nice  but it often feels a bit “me too”. I want those who are special to me to go to their mailbox and find a handmade card celebrating their special day. Don’t you think that would make someone smile to find a card in the mail?

Shannon West of Stampin’ Up! is creating a movement called #imbringingbirthdaysback and I love the idea. You already know that I create a card for every associate in my office. I create cards for my family but I often am behind the eight ball (remembering too late) in sending a card to my extended family and friends. Well, I want to change that!

I love these two colors together, Mint Macaron and Lost Lagoon. The Confetti Textured Impressions Embossing Folder is the main event for my card and I love how it creates a festive feel.

This week’s Pals Paper Arts Sketch Challenge was the perfect inspiration for my card. I flipped the sketch on its side!

In this image you can see the sentiment from Fabulous Four stamp set was heat embossed in Silver SU Emboss Powder. The bakers twine was from the February Paper Pumpkin Kit. Right now you can save big on your Paper Pumpkin subscription AND earn FREE Sale-A-Bration items. A 3-month subscription is only $55 through March 31st. Last year I subscribed for a full year and saved big. I am going to do it again this year and earn the NEW Sale-A-Bration items.

A peek at the inside of the card reveals the sentiment from Happy Birthday,Everyone and the Balloon Celebration stamp set adds a festive flair.

So I am going to join the #imbringingbirthdaysback movement. Are you going to join me? I hope you do!
