Have you ever loved paper so much that you had to use it as soon as you got it home?
That’s what happened to me with the Bright Blooms Paper Pack from Dare 2B Artzy!

I have two friends with birthdays this month, and I thought this paper would make great birthday cards! Once you make a birthday card with D2BA’s Slim Mini Birthday Die, you immediately want to make a coordinating envelope with the Slim-Mini Envelope Die!

I began by die cutting the Slim Mini Birthday Die three times! I die cut it from the Bright Blooms Paper and from white and blue card stock. I saved the inside pieces so I could inlay them back into my first die cut! The layers were die cut with additional rectangular dies in the Slim Mini Birthday Die Set and adhered to a blue 6″ x 6 1/2″ card base!
Since I have two friends with birthdays this month, I had to make another birthday card with a coordinating envelope!

I made this card using the same inlay die technique! I layered this happy birthday onto a die from the Slim Mini Wavy Layers Die Set. The adorable dotted paper is the back side of the Bright Blooms Paper!

Have you had a chance to enter some cards in the July Challenge on the Dare 2B Artzy Blog? It’s not too late, and you could win a $15 gift card to the Dare 2B Artzy Store!

Happy stamping!
