Hello and Happy Friday! There is a new Seize the Birthday challenge out this week- #255: Use your Initials- and I decided to use the This Birthday Piggy stamp set along with the coordinating Playful Piggy dies set for my birthday card.
Every week the theme is to make a birthday card, and there is always an optional "Topping". For this week's challenge it was to use elements on the card that starts with your initials. My initials are D.N. so I used Diagonal Stripes, Die Cuts and Neon Green (Parakeet Party) for this card.
This is such a fun stamp set and I used images both on the outside and inside (keep reading to see that). I quickly colored the piggy and cake using my Stampin' Blends markers. The color palette for this card is Parakeet Party (my Neon green), Balmy Blue and So Saffron. I added some fun diagonal stripes across the background to add some interest and use my D. The coordinating dies included the fun textured banner - I cut out two from So Saffron card stock and "hung" them across the top of the panel. Check out the dies below - they are currently on the Clearance Rack at an incredible price! Grab them while you still can...

For the inside of the card I stamped this cute scooter-riding piggy and included a fun birthday sentiment. I also cut out another banner from Balmy Blue card stock to hang across the top corner of the inside panel.
