This post is also a little bittersweet, as it’s my final card as a member of the Lil Patch of Crafty Friends Design Team. It has been such an honor to be part of this amazing team filled with so much creativity and heart. I’ve loved every moment—sharing, learning, and connecting with this wonderful community.

Thank you to the team for having me, and thank you to all of you who’ve supported my creations along the way. It’s been a truly special chapter in my crafty journey.

Now let’s make this challenge one to remember—can’t wait to see what you create!

I had so much fun creating this cheerful birthday card featuring the digital image from The Paper Shelter's Balloon Ride! 

I started by coloring the image with Copic markers, bringing it to life with bright, happy tones. To match the playful vibe, I pulled out some colorful birthday-themed paper from Kat Scrappiness and adhered it to an A2 card base for a festive background.

Next, I popped the image up on foam tape to give it some fun dimension. The sentiment was stamped, die-cut with a sentiment strip, and also popped up for extra focus.

To finish off the card, I added a few green sequins for a touch of sparkle and a playful pop of texture.

I love how this one turned out—it’s simple, bright, and full of birthday joy! 

Thank you for visiting. I hope my card brings a little smile your way today.
