Paper Players Celebrates Birthdays

Hey y'all, happy Sunday and welcome to a new Paper Players challenge!

Love this one.  Everyone has a birthday so we all need more birthday cards in our stash, right?  The fun bright colors on the challenge graphic made me think of a retired stamp set with coordinating patterned paper, so here's what I made:

The stamp set is called Sweetest Thing, but I always try to call it Jar of Sweets, which is the name of the die set that goes with it.  The stamp set has three jars and a variety of things you can put in them, my favorite being the gummy bears.  HOWEVER, the How Sweet It Is DSP has a bunch of printed jars that coordinate with the dies as well (looks great and it's easy!), so the only stamping on my card is the sentiment.  I had fun picking and choosing which patterns to coordinate with my gummy bears, and this card has already reached its recipient.  I recently sent a giant box of German goodies (including quite a few varieties of gummy candies) to my honorary niece, just stuff that I can get here that they don't have in America.  So my gummy bear birthday card is extra appropriate for Emma's 13th birthday. 

Hope you'll join in the birthday fun and upload your card creation to the Paper Players blog.  And if you sneak a handful of gummy bears or a piece of birthday cake while you're crafting, I won't tell ; )  Enjoy!
