One Birthday Card, Hold The Sentiment


Here's a quick and simple gatefold card that uses 4 different papers from the Nana's Kid stack. The party hat and balloon are whale  punches with some kid's glitter on them. The present is just a square cut out with a paper trimmer. Someone forgot to tie a bow on it though. The white dots on the paper come pre-embossed so the card has a lot of texture in person. The hat and balloon are bumped up.

I tried the card with green paper in the background and different colors for the hat, balloon and box but this was the color layout I liked the best. If you want things to match better instead of pop, use a more muted background color that more closely matches one of the colors in the card and the embellishments. Since there are already multiple shades of orange/peach, putting it all on the darker muted orange helped to frame it all an make it pop more.
