See, I told you...

I told you that I'd be making more cards with paper straws on them. This time in primary colors :)

Happy birthday
Supplies:
Cardstock: (lt blue) the Paper Co., (dk blue, orange) American Crafts, Patterned Paper: (6x6 Splash pad) Echo Park, Stamp: (Sentiment Sampler set) Paper Smooches, Ink: (black) Versacolor, Tool: (corner rounder) We R Memory Keepers, Other: Paper Straws from the Cupcake Social on Etsy and String.
Size: 4.25x5.5"


So this is about the easiest way ever to make birthday candles. Just trim the straws, glue a little string inside the top for a wick and add a piece of cardstock cut into a flame shape, voila! fun easy and fast, gotta love that!

Super simple card, super short post!

Happy Friday y'all!
