Today is my great-nephew's birthday, and I'm sharing the card that I made for him. I was totally inspired by a similar card that Brenda Quintana designed, but I couldn't resist making a few changes such as including a cute donkey, some hatching chicks, and a balloon in the hoof of the proud sheep. I also thought the die-cut fence provided an excellent opportunity to use some of Stampin' Up!'s new Cork paper, and didn't it work perfectly for the fence? Because the cork paper is thin, I adhered it to a piece of cardstock before die-cutting the shape. In the image below, you can see the other two images that come around when the scallop circle is turned.
It's hard to tell from the photos, but I used the Wink of Stella glitter brush to apply thin lines of glitter around the die-cut clouds and also on the balloon.
The Give it a Whirl dies are so fun to use! While there are so many options with those dies, this is the quickest card that I've made with them. Best of all . . . the set of dies includes some of the prettiest clouds that I've ever seen plus some other shapes that can be used on all sorts of cards. You know how some dies are just a great investment? Uh huh . . . these are that! Other Stampin' Up! products featured on this card include:
Cardstock: White, Old Olive, Pool Party, Daffodil Delight
Stamp Sets: Counting Sheep, Darling Donkeys (2021 SAB, retired), Hey Birthday Chick
Dies: Sheep, Give it a Whirl
