My sweet daughter-in-law has one of those birthdays which tends to get wrapped in with Christmas but I do make separate birthday and Christmas cards for her each year. This was her birthday card for 2020 but I couldn't post it until now in case she was watching the blog. Now that she's had more than enough time to get both her birthday and Christmas cards in the mail, I'll post it.
It also serves as my first DT card for Conie Fong in 2021! The image is called "Snowman and Birdie Friends" and I think it's adorable enough to use all winter (but for the Christmas tree decoration.)
I used an old technique I dearly love: Cutting the image with a fancy die and using nothing but the image piece on the card front. It's a design with no embellishments but it looks very complex despite actually being very CAS. Nice and flat for mailing.

Beautiful image and CAS design
That is a sweet image! I love that fancy die.
Thank you so much for the tips on printing on scraps. I will try the taping method. I have always printed multiple images on a page to make the most use of it, but often it ends up being a waste as I don't color the additional images anyway. I will tell you how I go.

Lovely card NanaConnie. I like that technique too, although like you I haven't used it for a while
Your DiL will love this happy card, beautifully coloured and love the frame too Connie.

You're right: super cute image! And cutting it with the fancy mat definitely makes it look WAY more complex than it needs to be! A great reminder, since I seem to always make things infinitely harder on myself than I need to! Haha!
Beautiful card Connie. Love the die and image!

Congratulations on your new DT position at Conie Fong. This is a lovely card which I am sure your Daughter in law loved. We have many family and friend's birthdays in December and early January and I always make a big deal of making something special for them. That is very pretty die.
Thank you very much for entering your lovely card into our challenge. Good luck with the prize draw.
Stay healthy, happy, keep crafting and Creating Joy :)
