Happy Birthday Macaroon Card by Tatiana Trafimovich

Macaroons for a birthday treat!

Today we have a birthday card by Tatiana that will tickle your sweet tooth! For her card today she created a whole stack of macaroons using our Love & Chocolate Stamp Set. She colored them in a rainbow of colors and cut them out using the coordinating Love & Chocolate Die Set. She stacked the images in a tall stack and added some twine around it! So cute!

For the background of this card she chose a kraft cardstock and added the Happy Birthday message up the side in black. She used the "Happy" from the Simply Seasonal Stamp Set and the "birthday" is from our It's a Plan Stamp Set. She also embellished the background with hearts from those two sets, embossed in white.

Here's a close up so you can see all the gorgeous details:

Does anyone else wish that they had a macaroon to eat now?

Thank you for the lovely and yummy creation today, Tatiana! If you like this project you can see more of Tatiana's work over on her blog, Tatiana Craft and Art.

This kitty card by Samantha is so cute! She created a rainbow of color and words using the words from the new It's A Plan Stamp Set, leaving a white circle one side. Inside the circle she added three cute little kitties doing activities from our Newton Makes Plans Stamp Set. She finished out the card by adding the "It's Your Day" Sentiment from our Birthday Essentials Stamp Set. This would make a great specialized birthday card!
