Happy Birthday Mr. Ante

Hi! Here is a shaped card I made this morning. It seems like my crafty friend Cheryl at Cards by CG is always making one, so I thought I would. Thanks for the inspiration Cheryl!
I just love how his tongue is wrapped around the present.

Materials:
Birthday Bash cartridge
  • card base (p. 40) cut 6 1/4" and it fits perfectly in an invitation envelope
  • anteater (p. 50) cut at 1 1/2"
  • Happy Birthday sentiment (p. 69) cut at 2 3/4"
  • present (p. 27 & p. 59) cut at 1 1/2"
Cloud 9 Design paper
white, black, blue, and pink cardstock
buttons
ribbon
wiggly eyes
blue chalk

Challenges:
What is your favorite shaped card besides a square or rectangle?
I am curious to know!

Stay Creative,
Georgiana

  1. Hi Georgiana!! :) I am HONORED you are inspired by my work! It means a lot to me. You are, after all, the one who really got me into blogging. You invited me to join you on my first ever blog hop!!

    Your card is perfect. I adore that shaped base. My favorite shaped card base (right now) is a tag... I've been making them a lot lately. :)

    Hugs, Cheryl
