This card is similar to the Day 6 card in its design by swapping confetti for streamers. A very celebratory card that can be used for other happy events like weddings, anniversaries, a new job or a new addition to the family. Change out the colors and the card will have a completely different look. Meet me back here for Day 8 of the 31 Days of Handmade Cards. Be creative!

Editor’s note: I created this card using the Cricut Creative Memories Cheerful Seasons cartridge, which is no longer available. The word celebrate in the Paper Lace cartridge is a suitable alternative.
