It's your birthday

 Although this dog does not look like our great niece's I thought she would like this card :) I colored the stamp with markers and hand cut the little banner, added a little punched flower that matches the ones in the stamp to go with the sentiment.


  • Stampavie - Daisy Chain stamp, colored w/markers
  • Echo park - Fine and Dandy paper
  • Spellbinders - Labels one dies
  • Simon says stamps- Tiny words birthday sentiment stamp
  • EK Success - punched flower
  • Hand cut banner

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today,

Connie

Your card is SO cute. I'm sure your great niece won't care that the dog doesn't look like hers. I love that little daisy punch, nice touch and so cute too!

It is such a thoughtful gesture to hand-craft a birthday card like this, and the detail of hand-cutting that little banner really shows the extra care you put into your work. Matching the punched flower to the ones in the stamp is a lovely touch that pulls the whole design together beautifully for your great-niece.

This card is beyond adorable! It almost reminds me of a cute paper doll I would have wanted to cut and play with as a kiddo. Lol I have no doubt she will love it!

The sweet pup and daisy chain make such a charming focal point, and your marker coloring gives the whole scene a warm, storybook feel. The hand‑cut banner and tiny punched flower add just the right touch of dimension, echoing the details in the image without overwhelming it. The patterned paper frames everything beautifully, and the overall layout feels cheerful and perfectly balanced for a birthday celebration.
