These Party Puffins are celebrating a birthday today and so am I! I am 58 today, but I feel younger than I imagined 58 to be. 🙂 Here’s a video showing how to make this card.

Have I mentioned how much I love this card? It’s made with Tahitian Tide, my favorite new In Color. (You can get the new In Colors starting May 3rd or join my Stamping Mom’s Joy Team and get yours today!) It’s an easy fun fold and I love making fun folds! Do you see the little popped up fish that hold the Puffin folds in place? They even have little pearl bubbles coming out of their mouths 🙂 The party hat puffin is stepping off the ice flow into the water. Yep, the ice flow is made with the third smallest Layering Diorama. Did you notice the front puffin is holding up the Happy Birthday sign? It’s on a Window Sheet strip. Everything about this card makes me smile.

The back puffin is jumping back on to the ice. I was going to write my note on the ice flow, but instead I’m going to put another white piece on the back of the card. As you can tell I had a lot of fun making this card. The card is 5-1/4″ x 8-1/2″ scored at 4-1/4″ I made it a 1/4″ smaller so the measurements would be easier to divide into the three flaps which are each 1-3/4″. Here’s a picture of the template below. I usually make a template so I can easily make a card again in the future.

Cute Critters

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!

This month, the theme is Cute Critters. We really hope that you will be inspired by all the amazing creations the Pals are sharing with you! As you hop from blog to blog, we would love for you to leave a comment. You will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

Stampin Up Hey Birthday Chick Double Box card designed by demo Beth McCullough.  Shop 24/7 and see more card and 3-D gift ideas at https://stampingmom.com/cute-critters #stampingmom #cute&simple4u

Stampin Up has so many Cute Critters in the catalog that it was hard to decide which one to use. Hey Birthday Chick is a favorite of mine and I love the coordinating dies.

I used Gorgeous Grape, Magenta Madness, Daffodil Delight and Basic White. The critters are colored with Stampin’ Blends and popped up.
