I was looking at digital stamps at ‘Whimsy Stamps’ – ‘Wee Stamps’ and found a perfect one for my little granddaughter! It is called Winter Friends.
Looks like a party of winter friends!
Yes, I found a Designer Series Paper – DSP, with all those characters and it was fun to add her name and her age and a happy birthday banner being held by the penguin and polar bear! The backside of the DSP was just the stars so I layered that plain piece under the image to keep the card from being a bit too busy. The card is 6 X 6 so I can have all the characters included. We have an envelope punch board so we could just custom make the envelope to fit the 6 X 6.
I printed the image on cardstock and then cut it with the Window Frames #4 die. I cut a second Window Frame in grey cardstock and cut it in half to frame the image.

I can see why you picked the digital stamp! It does look like Joey.
And you can see why I didn’t try to replicate the colors of the coat on the digital image!
