Hip Hip Hooray card for Day 5

Hi there! We’re kicking off the February Release Countdown, at the MFT Blog, with some awesome Birthday-related products. I created a colorful card with the fun Hip, Hip, Hooray Die-namics and the cute BB Birthday Buds stamp set.

I started by diecutting the main panel out of Smooth White Card Stock with all of the dies linked together. They are so perfectly aligned that I couldn’t bear to separate them… Then I die cut the letters out of Red Hot, Sour Apple and Blu Raspberry card stock.

None of the yellow card stocks that I had matched the patterned paper from the Birthday Brights, that I chose for the card base, so I just used it. The “P” turned out great, while you can’t really see the tiny stars on the “I”. After die cutting all of the elements, I inlaid them in the white panel.

I stamped and die cut all of the cute critters from the BB Birthday Buds stamp set, but ended up choosing only three of them for my card. I love coloring balloons with Copic markers and I used R29, R27, R24 and R22 for this one (W3, W1, W000 and R01 for the bunny). I repeated the colors for the singing parrakeet and used Y17, Y15 and Y11 for the other one.
