Bonanza Buddies for Birthdays and more

One of my absolute favorite stamp sets from the 2020 January-June Mini Catalog will not be returning for the 2020-21 Annual Catalog. The Bonanza Buddies stamp set along with the matching dies and Designer Series Paper create wonderful birthday cards and more. I love this set because it’s so versatile. You can create birthday cards for kids and adults that are gender neutral. It also works great for baby cards and celebration cards for all occasions.

Let's Celebrate You!
This birthday card would be perfect for anyone! It uses the Bonanza Buddies stamp set, the Bonanza dies, and the Birthday Bonanza Designer Series Paper. The tag is cut with the dies and the piece with the greeting was actually cut off the end of the tag in the second card. I chose matching cardstock in Coastal Cabana and Bermuda Bay and inks in Terracotta Tile, Mango Melody, Daffodil Delight, and Coastal Cabana. I tied it all together with the metallic baker's twine that was available during Sale-A-Bration.

Baby Koala
Isn't this a sweet card for a new baby? I used the Bonanza dies to cut the koala from the Birthday Bonanza paper, although I could have stamped the koala instead. The balloons are stamped with Bermuda Bay ink and cut out with the Bonanza dies.

​You'll notice the tag on this card is shorter than the tag on the previous card. I first cut the tag using the Bonanza dies so that it was the same length as the one above. To make it shorter, I turned the tag sideways to the die and threaded the punched end over the top of the die so that it wouldn't get cut off. Then, I lined up the edge of the die where I wanted the edge of the tag and ran it through my Big Shot. This makes a shorter tag that still has stitching on the end.

The Coastal Cabana cardstock is embossed using the Simple Stripes embossing folder which is currently available on the Clearance Rack for a discount. This is a versatile embossing folder and at just over $5, it's a steal!

I hope you've enjoyed these cards featuring the Birthday Bonanza suite. Remember, the paper and dies are only available while supplies last, so if these cuties are on your wish list, get 'em before they're gone!
