Birthday Present card

Check out today's card.
It is the card I made for Brayden's 18th birthday!
I thought it turned out really cute & love it!
What do you think? 
 
I wanted to do a present with a big bow.
So my challenge was trying to figure out what products I could use to make the bow.
 
I ended up using some retired Oval punches to punch out ovals & then
cut & looped them to make the bow. 
I flagged the ends of the ribbon using scissors. 
There are a couple of SNEAK PEEKS on this card.
 
For the inside of the card I used this new stamp set!
It is called- 'You're The Best'!
AND 
I also used some NEW DSP called-
Artisan Sketched Garden that is all black & white images! 
 WOO HOO!
These will both be available to purchase soon on May 5, 2026.
