Ready for Birthdays

If you're like me, you're always looking to keep a stash of birthday cards on hand. Recently, my stash was dwindling, so I decided it was time to sit down and craft some up. 

Prickley Pear has a large selection of options that make great birthday cards! Here are some the Design Team has created.

On this card, Heather cut out flowers using the Mini Hibiscus and Flowers die sets. She stamped florals from the Flowers 2 clear stamp set onto the die cut outs and then used the sentiment from Build an Ice Cream. 

 

Heidi's creation with the Build an Ice Cream set and matching die makes a bright, cheerful birthday card. Color those cones up in as 31 flavors for an easy-to-grab option for any age. 
Also featured on this card is the Flourish Die.

 

Washi tape makes a quick and easy birthday card solution too. Here, Tracie has added some colorful tape to her background and the added an image and sentiment from the Dragonflies 2 set.
 


Sometimes the unexpected sets make great birthday cards too. This card from Heather features the Steampunk Gears 3 and Gears 2 stamp sets. And, no fussy cutting those gear edges with the Steampunk Gears die. 

 

Michelle's changed it up a bit with this easy gatefold card. Featuring the Build a Cupcake set, there are endless creative birthday options with just one stamp set and matching die.

Thursday Inspiration!

Happy Thursday, Prickley Pear Fans!

Can you believe it's March already? 
As we leap towards spring in the our corner of the globe, I keep looking for signs that spring is on it's way.

Perhaps we need to look no further than today's creations by the Design Team?

First up is Tracie, who we welcome to the Prickley Pear team this month. Welcome Tracie! 

Tracie has created this adorable card with Singing Bluebirds and the sentiment is from the Circles clear set.

 

Great minds think alike it seems, as Katie has also gone headed to the sky with her birthday card. This card uses the Butterflies clear set and matching Butterfly die. She has also used Blobby Flowers 2, cut with the matching dies. 

This elegant creation, also by Katie, would be a perfect grab and go card for any celebration, birthday or otherwise. Katie's stamped her background with Spring Scalloped Circles and made her medallion with the Scalloped Circle Die.



What's not to love about this beauty? Donna has found the key to my heart with her gorgeous coloring of this Valentine Cupcake. 

And Sharon spreads more love for the those Love Banners with this blue and white beauty, featuring There is Only One Happiness.

 

We're off to a great start with this months' design team inspiration!
