When I saw the new Stampin’ Up 2023-24 Annual Catalog I couldn’t resist the Zany Zoo Suite Collection. (I tend to purchase beautiful flower stamp sets and darling animals that make me smile.) This guy is so cute with his balloons and is easy to use for a quick birthday card.
There really aren’t measurements for this card, I just started with a 4-1/4″ x 11″ card base and added layers with the Radiating Stitches dies. You can purchase from my online store and see the products I used at the bottom of this post.
This strip of polka dots makes the inside of the card cute too.
It’s time for another Festive Friday Challenge! I’m part of the Design Team for Festive Friday and this week’s challenge #FF0132 is Global Pay it Forward Day which is April 28th.
What is Global Pay it Forward Day? Pay It Forward Day is a worldwide celebration of kindness that takes place every year on April 28th. Here’s some examples of what you could do to pay it forward- Donate old towels or blankets to an animal shelter. Say hi to the person next to you on the elevator. Surprise a neighbor with freshly baked cookies or treats! Let someone go in front of you in line who only has a few items. One thing I’ve been doing lately is giving the waiter/waitress an extra big tip just to surprise and delight them. Most of us have lots of cards we could send or that we could give to random people when we are out and about. The world would be a better place if we all tried to do random acts of kindness everyday! I’m going to be more intentional about finding ways to spread kindness.
The Inspo List is 10 items you can choose from to create your project. Incorporate THREE of the items in your project and link up! And guess what? Your project doesn’t have to be about Global Pay it Forward Day – at all! #festivefridaychallenge I hope you’ll make a card, scrapbook page or 3-D item and join us. If you want help entering, please email me at Beth@StampingMom.com and I’d be happy to help you! Even if you’ve never entered a card challenge before, now is the time to start. It’s fun and it’s free! It will help inspire your creativity. Please join us!
From the Inspo List I used heart, alcohol markers and blue.
Please hop along to all the Festive Friday DT beautiful creations
