What are you celebrating today? Is it a birthday? An anniversary? A new job? A new baby? An upcoming vacation? Or simply that it's Thursday and not Monday? Whatever the reason, do it with joy and spring in your step, just like this happy little fox from the Birthday Memories Suite. Reminiscent ofRichard Scarry's Busytown Books, or the animated characters from Disney, these happy, lighthearted woodland animals will bring a smile to anyone's face, no matter what the occasion.
And can you believe there is very little stamping on this card? The Birthday Memories Designer Series Paper and coordinating Birthday Friends Framelits make for quick work with this lively suite. All I had to do was run the paper through theBig Shot and stamp the sentiment on the banner. That's it! Seriously cute and amazingly quick..

***Michelle's tip: A little bit of ink goes a long way! You don't need to saturate your sponge. Simply tap it a few times in the ink pad, and use a gentle "flicking" or brushing motion against the edge of the paper, to give it a nice, defined outline. Have you Heard?

Sometimes...you just have to be adorable. And that's exactly what this card is. It's a quick, simple but cute card. As my Dad would say, it's a "No fuss; no muss" card. The pig is stamped in Basic Gray, and then painted withAqua Painters, using Powder Pink.
People have been asking me, "What's the difference between the three light pinks". As you can see, Powder Pink falls right between Blushing Bride and Pink Pirouette. It's the perfect "Piggy Pink".
This is a perfect design for creating a card when you need one in a hurry. Be sure to keep this tutorial on hand for future use!
