Hello there my crafty friends! How's this for a bright and cheery birthday card! I started with a piece of white card and used
Sun Yellow, Lava Red and Burnt Orange Pixie Powders all over it. I dried it with a heat tool then used an anti static bag all over it. Next I used the small birthday stamp that comes with the
Happy die/stamp combo set and stamped it randomly all over the background piece using a clear perfect medium pad. I coated it with
clear detail embossing powder and heat set it. It adds a nice subtle touch to the background, but if you would like it more prominent then you just need to do the stamping before you pixie, the words will stay the colour of the card. I used the leftover piece of the pixied card and cut the
Happy word out of it. I kept all of the fall away pieces and paper pieced them back into the
Happy die cut in black and glued to a piece of white card. I stamped the birthday stamp again in black and cut it out with a tag and added it with foam to the bottom of the card. The card was completed with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 8" x 9 1/2" in size. All for now. Sue x

Hello Sue, fabulous card , I do love these bold word dies. I made a card similar in pinky purple colour using pixie sparkles for my granddaughter’s 13th birthday on Friday and also another for a male friend in his football team colours.

Hello Sue
I have this happy die,it was our wedding anniversary last week so ordered this die and a load of sentiment dies (who needs jewellery when you can have your dies) Take care everyone x
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, what a stunning and bright card to greet us on this rather dull Monday in Kent. The warmth of the colours really is heartening, the pixie powders are amazing as is the Happy but the bit that is so clever is the birthday embossed on the background, looks amazing.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Hello Sue such a glorious burst of sunshine, just like today. The background is lovely and added stamping and embossing goes one further. Add your wonderful die to the mix and it will make everyone smile Carol E xx
