A "Big" Happy


This was an idea that I saw over a year ago at
a stamp convention at the Morning Star Stamps
booth. Both words are stamps from their line.

The large happy is stamped in the center of a
4.25 x 5.5 piece of card stock. Now you center
a Spellbinders label die over the "happy" and cut.
Select an appropriate embossing folder to add the desired
texture. In this case I have used the Cuttlebug
Happy Birthday folder.

The smaller birthday stamp has been cut with
an oval die cut. I sponged around the edges to
make is stand out a little more from the embossed
"happy" piece. I tried two different version and have
to say that I much prefer the top card.

The black and white polka dot background is
scrapbook paper attached to a white card base.

My husband got a "happy" card for our 40th anniversary.
Morning Star Stamps has a whole line
of tiny word stamps to put with your happy stamp.
I also have a thanks stamp that is the same
size and font and the happy shown here.

Super Fast Card


Need a card in a hurry? This is the basic design that you can play with and easily make your own. The card base is black card stock. I cut a piece of flocked scrapbook paper from DCWV's LaCreme stack, 4 X 5.25 inches and centered it on the card base.

The Happy Birthday was stamped and embossed with fine line black embossing powder, cut out and layered onto black card stock.

It was a bling-ie type of day when I made the card so there are three gaudy rhinestones in the upper left corner. I would have used bigger flashier ones if I had had them. (smile)

Safari Elephant


A fun fun card that is a great man-type birthday card. The elephant is part of the paper from DCWV's Safari stack. This is a quick easy card. The only things I put on it were the decorative scissors cut medium brown strip and the layered Happy Birthday hexagons on the left.
