Project Life...Not Just for Memory Keeping...

I needed a quick birthday card the other day for a 12-year old boy.  I didn't happen to have one on hand, and just had a few minutes. So I grabbed a Project Life card, and turned it into card in no time at all.  It's a simple card, but that's perfect for a 12-year old...right?!  ;-)

Project Supplies (all Stampin' Up!)

Here is a close-up of the balloons...

How fun are they?!  The actual balloon is just made with the Small Oval punch.   The bottom part of the balloon is done with the foot part of the Owl Builder Punch.  Easy, peasy!  Then the "it's your birthday" is just stamped onto the Project Life card and secured with Washi Tape.  (I also stamped the "enjoy the fuss." greeting from the "Big News" stamp set on the inside but forget to get a picture.)

Here is another up-close view, this time of the candy dots...

Such a quick and easy card! I LOVE the Project Life card packs...such an incredible value and can be used for SO MUCH MORE than just memory keeping!

Thanks for visiting!  I hope you enjoy!
