Happy Birthday! For today's project, I created a center easel fun fold card using the This Birthday Piggy stamp set. This Birthday Piggy features 3 adorable pigs celebrating their and your birthday.
The center panel, decorated with a piggy about to blow out a birthday candle, sits up and is held in place by a stamped present stopper. This fun fold makes for a great display card for all ages!
I like this fun fold because it is easy to cut the card base, it is customizable to any occasion, holiday, recipient, and color palette, the card folds flat for mailing, and it can fit inside of a A2 envelope.
I had so much fun with the Fitting Florets and This Birthday Piggy stamp set that I made another center easel card! This time I used the pig relaxing in the mud. This sweet piggy reminded me of relaxing at the salt cave! What a wonderful way to spend a birthday!
