Day 3 – Sale-A-Bration Countdown

Now here’s a set with many sentiments for birthday cards. Whether you are looking for whimsical or serious, this set will do the trick. These sentiments are the star of the stamp set, as it has only two small images.

But don’t underestimate that little balloon or the cute candles! They can be quite versatile for your simple, understated, clean looking cards, or stamp them multiple times for a border or background.

See the clever folds on a couple of cards below. You can find a video tutorial on the split panel card (green one) on my YouTube channel here.

The donkey card below is a simple Z-fold. For a tutorial on how to do a double z-fold card, click here.
