Hey there! I'm working on some projects right now that aren't quite ready to publish, so today I'm sharing with you a couple of cute birthday swaps I received at Dallas OnStage. After an event I always go through my swaps and make a collection of the ones that I'm most impressed with and want to use for a future event. Today's swaps I will be CASEing for my "Stampin' in the New Year" class on January 1st & 2nd!

Kristin Wiggins created this simple party hat card with the Happy Birthday, Everyone set, Cherry on Top Designer Paper, Real Red Pom-Pom Trim, and Silver cording. Her design is so simple but SO CUTE!

Jessica Samuels also used Cherry on Top paper for her swap. She used a greeting from Boys Will Be Boys, then used one of the paper-piercing templates from the Eclectic Paper-Piercing templates for the background. A simple star cut with the smallest Stars Framelits, finished off with a single rhinestone gives this card perfection!

I can see this layout and paper-piercing technique used for many different occasions, can't you?
