Birthday hugs

Every birthday should be a celebration. We are celebrating another year of life for the birthday boy/girl. No matter what the past year has brought for them, a birthday is still a celebration. If you do nothing else, a birthday is a time to send love and birthday hugs.

And, if you can’t give your hug in person, send your hug in a card.

How do you celebrate birthdays?

Gray birthday card featuring a stamp of two hugging badgers positioned on a retangle of purplish bokeh paper.  There are two bokeh hearts--one purplish and one peach.  The peach label says, "Sending Birthday Hugs."  Purple sequins decorate the card.

Card Details

Do you love the look of line image stamps, but don’t really like coloring them in? I want to help turn your crafting stress into success. Here’s another option for you. Choose a cardstock to add color and just stamp your lined image in a darker hue of that same color.

I personally haven’t seen many cute badger stamps/images out there. Especially not those that are hugging and look perfect on a card with hearts. But here they are! Part of the Hearts & Hugs stamp set.

When your featured image is the same color as the background of your card, add a frame of a different color to make your featured image stand out.

This card is entered in the As You Like It: Favorite Paperbrand challenge. My favorite paperbrand is Stampin’ Up!®. The patterns of their Designer Series Paper are gorgeous enough to create a card with no stamping needed. But, my absolute favorite thing about Stampin’ Up!® paper is that the colors coordinate perfectly with all other products of the same name: cardstocks, designer series paper, inks, ribbon, embellishments. It makes choose card elements simple.

  1. This is really sweet, Angel! I love that you used the bokeh paper to dye cut the hearts and to use as a background! It works so perfectly! And I’ve always loved those huggy animals! Thanks for using our colour palette at As You See It Challenges.
