Miss Belle's 2023 Birthday Card

 I made a simple, yet elegant, birthday card

for my dear friend and "2nd Mom", Miss Belle, 

who is turning 87 this month.

She's truly a beautiful person 

and I'm very blessed to have her in my life.

I made her 5 x 7 card and slightly larger envelope

with 49 and Market's gorgeous Vintage Artistry Tranquility collection.

Two stunningly gorgeous and so detailed butterflies from ReneaBouquets 

added that special touch to the front of the card.

I printed the inside sentiment in French Script font

using one of the pretty 6 x 8 papers in this collection.

I also punched two corners for added interest.

Tiny baby pink bling gives some pretty, dainty sparkle!

Here are the laser cuts I put together.

Would you believe that I've already finished making 

friend's birthday cards for August, September & October?

I've been in a crafty mood lately.

I'm seriously considering doing a layout, 

but if I don't, it may be a bit before you see me.

Thanks so much for viewing Miss Belle's birthday card.  

Have a blessed day everyone!

Lisa
