    Happy Birthday!

    Hello everyone!

    It’s Donna Idlet here sharing a slimline card I made using the newly released Birthday Essentials Dies, the Happy Birthday Sentiment die w/ Shadow and the 6×8 Birthday Essentials Paper Pad. The new Birthday release is so much fun!! I love the bright bold colors that makes a perfect birthday card.
    Here is my card for your inspiration:
    • Created a mini slimline card measuring 6″ x 3 1/2″ (6″ x 7″, scored at 3 1/2″).
    • Die cut the top layer with KS Mini Slimline Cross Stitched die.
    • Used a stencil to create the pattern in the background.  Used the KS Mini Slimline Card Set for the card base.
    • Used the pattern paper from the  6×8 Birthday Essentials Paper Pad to die cut the presents from the Birthday Essentials Die Set.  The solid card stock for the ribbon and bow is card stock from my stash.
    • Die cut the top layer from the KS mini slimline zig zag and the bottom layer I used the mini slimline Double Stitched Dies. Die cut the birthday hats from the Birthday Essentials Die Set, using a couple of patterns from the Birthday Essentials Paper Pad, assembled and added some clear nuvo drops to the blue hat and Diamond Stickles to the yellow hat.
    • Die cut the Happy Birthday w/Shadow Die using only the word Birthday with black card stock.
    • Stamped and heat embossed with white embossing powder Happy from the KS Koala-Ty Time stamp set (masked off the “Mother’s Day”).
    • Added some sprinkles from the Mixed Candy Sprinkles.
