Hey crafting friends! In honor of Dolly Parton's birthday, I'm sharing a quick and easy birthday card you can make today! Dolly was born on this day in 1946 and she was one of the first singers to blend country and pop music. Don't know if Dolly is a crafter but hey, wanted to give her a shout out when sharing my quick and easy birthday card!
How quick and easy is this card! Don't you think you can make it?
Don't have this stamp set? Use the measurements and instructions I've provided below, and your own supplies to give it a go! You can stamp any cute critter image, make a balloon using a circle punch or die and then use a black marker to draw a string down to your stamped image.
Of course, if you'd like to purchase any of the products used in this card, you can shop right now at my online store. Remember, during January and February, for every $50 in product purchases you get to choose a free gift!
