In my ongoing quest to use craft supplies I've never used/haven't used in a long time rather than buy new, I've got a birthday card for you today featuring a digi from Di's DigiStamps. I've had this Birthday Cake Buddy digi (retired) a while now and never used him; he's a cutie so I thought it was time I did. I played up the cherries on top of the cake using the Coffee Shop blog freebie Cherry digital papers I download ten years ago (the freebie is from 2015) and never used once. These papers are still on the Coffee Shop blog site, but the link to download them doesn't seem to work anymore. Even if you can't download these though, there are lots more stunning papers on the site generously provided, so if you're in the market for some cute digital paper freebies it's worth checking out. The sentiment was created with Pea Elizabeth Ashley font (the same sentiment used on this slimline cherry card).
And this ribbon...oh my goodness, I've had this a long, LONG time, I'm guessing maybe 13 years or so, and haven't used it in years, if ever, I'm not real sure. As you can see, it still has the plastic band it came with. This was some of the first ribbon I bought when I seriously started cardmaking in 2012. I bought several of these from a store in Geneva that has since gone out of business. They're a very good quality German ribbon called Artebene and although I did a major craft supply cleanout a few years back I kept every one of these. Some Nuvo Crystal Drops in Autumn Red are the touche finale.

I had to come and have a closer look when this stunning card came up on my reading list - Wow! I love those layers and you have coloured it beautifully.
ReplyDeleteI too am on a mission to use up all of my neglected craft stash rather than buying more.

Such a darling card!! I especially like the way you've coloured the bear's fur. It looks fabulous! And the stored ribbon seems to have been saved for just the right occasion!
