I received several Christmas cards that I thought I could recycle to create new handmade cards. And yes, I did say Christmas. This present was one out of three that were on a Christmas card. One of the presents definitely looked Christmasy, but this one said "Birthday" to me. I've had these felt balloons from Stamps of Life for several years and this was the perfect card to finally use them on. Rather quick and easy to make, and pretty cute, too!

Stamps: MFT "Essential Sentiments"
Dies: Spellbinders "Classic Circles, large"
Balloons and paper from Stamps of Life

Super card, Heather. I've been upcycling some of my Christmas cards too this week, although I haven't thought about making them for other occasions. Thanks for the inspiration. Thank you for joining in the Crafty Calendar Challenge this month. Good luck!

Hard to see the previous Christmas card in your recycled birthday card. Creative and fun project. And isn't it cool to use some of your old stash to go along with recycled. Creative and fun card. Thanks for sharing with us and two of our previous partners, TSOT and Crafting Happiness.
