Trendy Birthday


A warm hello during this freeze that's hit so much of the US. Hope everyone is safe and keeping warm. I haven't stepped outside for several days except to peek out once a day to check mailbox. But a small heat wave is on the way....upper 20s and 30s.  LOL

I have a friend whose birthday is coming up and I made this card for her. I started out with cherry red card stock for the base. For the white layer I used Spellbinder's 5x7 Detailed Scallops die. Instead of leaving that layer plain in the center, I added a panel which was embossed with a Cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder. 

Using the Memory Box Happy Birthday Extravaganza die, I cut the birthday greeting in cherry red card stock and adhered it to the embossed dotted swiss layer. The pump was cut from a Memory Box Platform Pumps die and popped on with dimensionals.

For the inside of the card..............

I stamped the 3 dress form stands using GKD's Friendship Like Ours stamp set in dark red ink. The inside message was computer generated. And the shoe is the other half of the Memory Box Platform Pumps die which I popped on with dimensionals.


Hope you enjoyed this post and my card. Thanks for stopping by and please stop by often to see my cards. Have a great day!
