Get ready for a really long post!!!!
Oh boy did I ever have a fun time making this card. I searched all over the net for something cute and did I ever find it! This card originated from 2 Stampin' Up posts that I found. Unfortunately, I do not own Stampin' Up stuff, so I used their ideas and created an Excel spreadsheet so I would always have what I needed using George and Basic Shapes and Plantin Schoolbook.
The first thing I found was how to make the pigs. That came from Valita's Fresh Folds. She is an amazingly talented woman with lots of great ideas that she shares.
The next thing I found was the card from Stampin with Niki. Another amazingly talented woman.
I cut the banner out of Christmas Cheer at 1" and wrote Happy Birthday. The grass I just cut with scissors, later realizing that I could have cut a border off of George. Oh well, still came out cute. I did pop up a blue bird, the yellow bird, the red bird and the helmet pig.
I love the way this card turned out, just look at the smile on his face!
Tomorrow I will post the recipe for all shapes and sizes :)
