Polar Pal Birthday Wishes

Inspiration: April 2022 Card Maps Sketches + Festive Friday #108 (Birthday + Punches + Pastels)

I wanted to use the images I had fussy cut from the Penguin Playmates DSP, so I used another April 2022 Card Maps sketch and put together this cute and simple card. I made my own tag using the Delightful Tag Topper punch and I threaded metallic mesh ribbon through the hole. topped with a Glitter Star Ornament. I used my rubber scissors to cut the loop off of the ornament and glued it in place over the ribbon knot.

The sentiment is placed over the zig zag rectangle on the sketch but it was not working out well with my design since the polar bear head was placed pretty high, so I made a small tag out of Soft Sea Foam cardstock and placed my sentiment on the left edge instead.

Since the ribbon bow was pretty fluffy, I made an oversized envelope to go with the card, out of Designer Series Paper. This is a good way to get through paper packs a little more quickly while getting a matching envelope for our cards.
