Happy Friday, crafty friends!! We made it to the weekend!! I can’t believe it’s the last day of March!! I hope you have some crafty plans this weekend!!

I am always in need of birthday cards, and the Presents For All Seasons Stamp Set from the latest Picket Fence Studios release is perfect to customize in someone’s favorite colors or for any occasion!! I have Spring on the brain, so I pulled out some pastel, spring-y colors for my card today!!

I began by white heat embossing the Presents For All Seasons Stamp Set onto a panel of Bristol smooth cardstock. I blended Cracked Pistachio, Tumbled Glass and Wilted Violet Distress Oxide Inks onto the panel with Lifechanging Blender Brushes, buffed the excess ink from the embossed images and trimmed the top and bottom of the panel. I adhered strips of white glitter cardstock to the top and bottom of a white A2 card base and adhered the ink-blended panel to the card base.

Next, I die-cut the Slimline Happy Birthday Word Dies from white glitter paper and three colors of cardstock to match my ink-blended background. I also die-cut a bow from the A Bow For Any Reason Die Set from the same cardstock colors. I stacked and adhered them together with the glitter layer on top, slightly offsetting each layer of cardstock, then adhered them to the front of the card.

A trio of matching hearts from the Cool Hearts Embellishment Mix finished off the card perfectly.

That’s it for me today!! Have a wonderful weekend and I’ll see you soon!!
