March and April Birthdays

One of the few times that I use stamps. The branch is one and the owl is another. I colored in to match the paper. I tried a "new" way to attach the ribbon by threading thru a punched hole. The striped background paper is from a gift bag I received for my birthday a few years ago.

I saw this idea and saved it for about a year. I've been wanting to try it out...they are so cute! Stamped my thumb and drew the face, arms and legs.

Another idea I saw online and added my own touches.

The butterfly was cut from a saved birthday card. The colors worked perfect as I had already picked the papers and put together before I found the butterfly.

This card was a gift bag pattern with a circle saying hello that I traded for the balloon. I also changed the leg position as the sample showed them straight up and down.

For my grandson who will be 5 on the 1st of April. The card folds out to the right under the 5. It is held shut with the little gift tag. As usual I hand cut all the letters, etc.

A pop-up card that I have wanted to try. There was no pattern only the picture so I had to experiment.
This is the outside.

Inside of the pop-up. Balloons and gifts. I even added her name on the little gift tag.

Another thumb print card...love it!!
