A "Just Because" Card

 I pulled out my left-over stash of

 Mintay's "Birdsong" collection.

I dressed it up as a "Just Because" card

for a dear, sweet friend of mine.

A few embellisments and it's all done!

Thanks for viewing!

Have a very blessed day,

Lisa

Always remember if you don't plan to donate or give away your paper stash,

hold on to it to make cards/tags/etc. for future use.

The papers are still pretty in my opinion.

Lily's 2023 Birthday Card

Lily is my BFF's Granddaughter.

She's turning 15.

Such a very sweet, kind & thoughtful young girl.

Definitely the pride of the family!

She loved this card so much that she said she was going to hang it in her room. 💗

Lily's favorite color is pink.

49 and Market's Color Swatch Blossom collection is perfect!

I chose pink, blue & yellow to coordinate with the 

wonderfully whimsical ReneaBouquets butterflies!

Let's zoom in on those fabulous butterflies!

Beautiful flowers, spiral stamen and frosted berries

made this a very feminine card.

Pretty floral lattice chipboard heat embossed in Pink Peppermint 

and hot pink rhinestones added to it is just right!

(I discovered Gesso Spray!  WOW!  It sure goes on very neat!)

I just LOVE the spiral stamen & frosted berries!

A computer printed "Happy Birthday" in French Script font

is die cut and adhered with foam tape for dimension.

Lastly,

the inside of the card has a note printed in Lucida Handwriting font;

aligned with the beautiful print on the paper.

A delicate die was used to make it all stand out.

Pretty laser cut flowers & a bow, from the collection, dressed it up.

Thanks for viewing Lily's birthday card!

Have a blessed day,

Lisa >^..^<
