Get The Technique
A couple of weeks ago, we threw a fiesta birthday party for my fellow associate crafts designer, Shae. The theme fit because Shae is obsessed with Mexican food (we ordered Mexican for lunch in her honor). I made guacamole and baked tortilla bowls to put it in– these bowls look impressive and are easy to make! We also filled a mini piñata with Shae's favorite treats. And I found this amazing garland at my favorite shop, Parcel.
I used a simple origami folding technique to make Shae's birthday card.

Wow Valerie! What a neat and fun way to celebrate with Mexican Flair. I'll be sure to incorporate those tips into my next taco throwdown. Adios!

This is the best idea for a birthday party! I'm going to save this as inspiration for my husband's birthday. I love the card and the little pinata

Where can I get the bandana print paper? My 4-H club is putting together a book and are looking for similar paper without success!
The card is great- it remind s me of the secret message Valentine.

Hi there,
The bandana paper is available at Michael's, however, the supply might be short because I think it's being discontinued. Glad you like it!

Too bad about the discontinued bandana paper. The card looks really neat made with it!
