Birthday Banners Picture Perfect Narrow Note Card

I forgot all about these wonderful Whisper White Narrow Note Cards and Envelopes which come from the Occasions Catalog and are being carried in the upcoming Annual Catalog. They are so quick to decorate and would be nice to give with a gift OR to slip a gift card into.

I saw that several people used a circle punch to get a nice envelope liner to match any card. I used the Picture Perfect Party Designer Series Paper. I love how you can use scrap pieces of designer series paper on these card fronts. If you use 6" x 6" paper stacks, you can make FOUR card fronts from each piece when cut wisely! A couple of stamped and punched balloons (stamped with Birthday Banners and punched using the Balloon Bouquet Punch) and a little string or ribbon, plus a sentiment (die cut using the Bunch of Banners Framelits) and you have SUCH a cute card! So many possibilities!

Picture Perfect 1st Birthday

Today's card is so festive and colorful! Perfect for any age, so you could substitute the "1" that was cut from Picture Perfect Party Designer Series Paper using the Large Numbers Framelits. The sentiment is from Number of Years stamp set. 

Those CUTE and colorful party favors are stamped and fussy cut. The stamp set is the Picture Perfect Birthday stamp set. I love how you can create many different versions of the party blowers.

Thanks for looking today! I hope you are inspired to create!

Picture Perfect Birthday

CASEd directly from the demonstrator magazine Stampin' Success--Ta-DA! I loved the colors on this card and I liked creating my own "fringe" by hand using my Paper Snips. (The paper ribbon in the Occasions Catalog did not hold up to standards, so is unavailable for purchase but is SO CUTE!)

The Designer Series Paper is called Picture Perfect Party and comes in 6 x 6" pieces. At first I only bought the paper to use the non-photo sides, but after seeing so many beautiful cards made with the photo sides, I changed my mind!

Those wonderful Tutti-frutti Adhesive-Backed Sequins are SO easy to use!

To make my fringe, I used a 1" wide piece of Bermuda Bay card stock which was scored lengthwise at 1/2". I crumpled the piece of paper up many times and unfolded and smoothed it out. This breaks up the fibers of the paper. I then snipped away until I had the right length, trimmed it and then cut it in half on the score line. (You have something to hold onto while snipping, and you have TWO pieces of fringe to use on two cards).
