Calypso Celebration

I love the Sale-a-bration set Big Day! So easy to make birthday cards with, and that's what I make the most.

For this card, I was brave and used circles instead of banners. {wink} It really changes the look of the set, don't you think? I used the Starburst Framelits to cut out the main sentiment, then a plain Circle Framelit to mat it. Those little Calypso Coral Pompoms are so fun! The trim is a little bit stretchy, and they just add a yummy texture element to any card. I used the Calypso Coral Blendabilities to color a couple of the words, a few sequins for bling, and the wonderful Best Year Ever DSP (SAB).

A fun card that went together quickly!

Summer Sunshine for PPA 211

Yellow is my very very favorite color, so I couldn't resist the color challenge over at Paper Pals Arts, PPA 211. I combined 2 sets for this card--Kinda Eclectic and Ray of Sunshine. The Large Polka Dot folder and a few sequins helped add some texture. Here is the inside:
