🩵🎈Balloon Festoon Fun Fold
A few colorful balloons are a wonderful way to send birthday joy—even if that joy arrives a little late! 🩵 This fun fold card features the Balloon Festoon Bundle with a row of balloons along the edge of a textured front panel made with the Rustic Check Embossing Folder.
I paired Pool Party, Garden Green, Granny Apple Green, and Summer Splash for a cheerful mix of blues and greens. Summer Splash is retired, but this is a great reason to pull out any you still have in your stash. I used it because it coordinates with the Florals in Bloom DSP.
Open the card and you’ll find a little turtle with the greeting, “Happy belated birthday (sorry I was slow).” Both are from the retired Turtle Friends stamp set. It makes me smile! If you’ve ever made a birthday card and then forgotten to mail it, or just didn’t get around to making it in time, you might appreciate this sentiment, too. 😊
I love mixing newer products with well-loved supplies from my stash. If you don’t have Turtle Friends or Summer Splash, use a favorite birthday greeting and colors you already own to make this card your own!
A handmade card is a lovely reminder that someone is thinking of you—even after your birthday!
Are you good at mailing birthday cards on time, or could you use a few belated birthday cards in your stash?
