Happy Birthday
Hello there my crafty friends! Today's card was made from several leftover pieces from earlier cards. I started by making pieces of Glitter Kiss card. I used Rose Copper , Iced Blue and Bordeaux Gltter Kiss. I cut the Birthday Big Bold Word die out of them. I originally used the fall away pieces for other cards and was left with the actual word outline so that is what I used here. I cut the Birthday word out of all the pieces of Glitter Kiss card. I embossed a piece of white card with the Stripes embossing folder. Next, I added the Bordeaux outline then the Iced Blue outline and then the Rose Copper outline, slightly offsetting both of them. I added the embossed piece to a larger piece of card that I covered with Rose Copper Glitter Kiss. I stamped the word Happy and cut it out with a tag die and mounted it in the upper left corner. I made two small Button Flowers and glittered them, then seated them in the lower right corner. I added some leaves from the Magnolia Corner die as accents. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7" x 8" in size. All for now, Sue x

Morning Sue and all lovely blog friends. Oops had a lie in lol.
I really admire how perfect your layered sentiments work out, that minute but so spot on, not one offset but TWO offset blows my mind lol, my hands shake so much when I'm offsetting my small sentiments and it slips from my fingers/tweezers, I think if I even attempted this it would look like a foreign language. I just love today's inspiration it's fantastic. Sending love and thanks xxx
That background looks great, crisp and clean. I have a card to make later and I know just what I’m going to do now. Thanks!

Hi Sue
A great card. Like Steph I admire the perfection of your offsetting - I’ve had a few sticky attempts in the past.

Hello there Sue and all.
Thank you Sue for giving me my daily dose of Inspiration. Like Steph, I get a full dose of hand shake when doing the fiddly bits but keep trying.
Have a good day.

Morning Sue, your card is gorgeous, that is what I love about these dies, is that you can get more than one card out of a single die cut. Take care and stay safe everyone. Bx

Good Afternoon Sue. And like STEPH am late but not from sleeping in. We have been getting the caravan ready for our first Dance Festival next week HURAAYYYYYY. Can't blooming wait. Sorry Sue but I am bursting with Happiness
Now to today's Card ... You have blown me away again ... What a beautiful card ... And made from leftovers ... You are so clever Sue. I love it when this happens ... When I think of all the pieces I have thrown away when I first started crafting. What I could have done with them if only I had known. And all thanks to you Sue for all your brilliant tips and do,s and dont,s ... Zzz zNew dies that use up our scraps ( Like Slimline ) my scrap box doesn't get as full
Thankyou so much Sue.
Sending hugs 🤗 and best wishes to everyone who needs them today.
PLEASE KEEP STAYING SAFE 🙏 🙏 🙏
Kind regards Ann Toppcards in Leeds
Hi Sue
A great card and like the others I am amazed how
you have managed to stack them together. I should
know it but what is the best way to stick such very
slim words down on to the card ??

Hi Sue
A great card
Love Helen xxx
Beautiful card Sue!!!
Love the way you’ve used pieces from other cards to make this lovely one. X
Love these big, bold sentiment dies. They make funky cards for teenagers/young adults, yet can be made pretty with the addition of flowers. Just so versatile as are all your Dies. Thank you Sue.
Hi Sue this is a gorgeous birthday card. This is my hubby's birthday today. Take care. Hugs Jackie
Hi Sue
What a great way to use the birthday word die the colours show perfectly
Love it Sue
Thank you for sharing
Please take care my friend
Hugs Theresa G
Hi Sue, a great card and even better for using up what some would call scraps. Like many others I am in awe of your ability to layer up three of these very fine frames, I struggle to put just one on straight!
Frances
What a stunning card, Sue. Where do you get your inspiration from? Having said that, I'd love to be in your head for a day or so............
Hugs

Hi Sue

I’m a big fan of the bold dies and using bits and pieces of left overs is a terrific way to salvage what could easily end up in the trash bin. Terrific card!
