Happy Birthday!

For today's Card Creating Sunday, I made this fun birthday card that I will be sending out this month.

Once again, I had an idea in my head of what I wanted to make but, it didn't happen - sort of. I wanted to use an adorable stamp set I purchased from Pink By Design called "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" along with a lion cut from Nate's ABCs. Well, I put all of my "wild" printed cardstocks together and cut out the lion.  Ooops! I didn't notice that the designer left an opening in the mane for part of a cattail! :-(   As I scanned through my booklets looking for an animal that I could use, I noticed that Zoo Balloo had a "Happy Birthday" cut that I thought would work out rather well. I rearranged some of my printed cs and added the "Happy Birthday" cut. I added some Stickles to bling up the words and some ribbon for extra color and texture.


Be sure to stop by My Cricut Craftroom to see all of the other Design Team projects. Thanks for stopping by! Have a creative day:-)

  4. Tammy, I think this version of your card turned out great!!! Love how you stuck with it and used plan B!!! Awesome. Do you own a Gyspy? Will the Gypsy let you hide the hole and use the lion? I can't picture that cut so I am not sure. Sometimes that is possible. TFS this fun and wild card:)
