Birthday Smiles Banner Card & Cupcake Gift Tag with Elise

Hi everyone! It's Elise here to share a cute banner card featuring the Birthday Smiles stamp set. I think the banners that are included in the Birthday Smiles set are adorable, so I used a bunch of them to create a banner on a birthday card!

I stamped the banner onto different colors of patterned paper, cut out each banner, and attached it to my card with either foam tape or glue. The close up shows some of the different layers from the foam tape.

I also added a bunch of hearts onto each of the banners in different colors, and finished it by adding some twine bows to the end of the banner! So easy and cute!

I also made a birthday tag by using the Fishtail Banner Dies!

The top tag is cut from white card stock with the scalloped edge banner die, and the bottom layer is cut from patterned paper with the dotted edge banner die. I added the cupcake and heart, stamped the sentiment, and drew a border around the edge to finish the tag!

Thanks for stopping by and come back tomorrow for some more design team inspiration!! :)

Bright Birthday Smiles Balloon Card with Audrey

Hello there!  Audrey here with a bright and happy birthday card using the Birthday Smiles stamp set and the  Fishtail Banners dies!  

                      

I started off by die-cutting a piece of white cardstock with the Fishtail banners dies and chose to use the little dotted edge die from the set.  Then on that same panel, I stamped the open line balloon image, masked it off and stamped again, repeating this process until I was happy with how my bunch looked.  

I colored the balloons with my Copic markers and used a white gel pen to add highlights to each balloon.  I stamped the sentiment near the bottom right of the banner and then hand drew balloon strings with a black marker (but there is a string image in the stamp set if you prefer).  I cut a landscape orientated card base and added some brightly colored patterned paper to coordinate with my balloons, popping the panel up on the card base.  I added some twine and tied a bow on the left side of the card base, adding a fun scattering of sequins to finish things off.

That's all for me today!  I hope you enjoyed my bright birthday card!  Be sure to stop back again tomorrow for lots more inspiration from the design team! :)
