Hello crafters! Here's a card that you can use in a pinch for a quick birthday card! I used one of the pixie powder backgrounds from my stash (I highly recommend having a stash of backgrounds you can grab when needed). I used
Sun Yellow and Lave Red Pixie powders on it. I cut the
Birthday Big Bold Word die in black and glued it on to the shadow die which I cut in white. Next I covered some white card with a
sticky adhesive sheet and then coated it with
Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz. I cut the
Birthday die out of it and saved all of the fall away pieces. I paper pieced them back into the birthday outline (takes about 10 minutes). I added foam mounting to the back and attached it to the background. Using a small piece of leftover pixied card, I stamped the Happy stamp in black and cut it out, then mounted it in the centre of the card. The card was completed with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are in 6 1/4" x 7 1/2" size. All for now, Sue x
Fabulous card Sue xx

Hi Sue and all Particrafters. Words speak volumes, sometimes all we need are words, my most favourite cards without bragging are the small CAS with just the sentiment, you make it so easy to make people smile thank you.

Good Morning Sue. Simply lovely. Great card. The more I see these dies the more I need them. You are bringing us so many lovely ideas to dress them up ... This is no exception I would love to get inside your head to see how it works ... Because you bring up the most beautiful ideas that I, and, dare I say ... many others ... could never have dreamed of. So that's another set on the list. Thankyou Sue. Sending hugs and best wishes to everyone who needs them today.

Hi Sue. I would have to agree that these dies are perfect for those quick cards that we sometimes need to make. They are so versatile in that you can use them to make cards as simple or as decorative as you like.
