Singing Happy Birthday

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

I had fun making this colorful birthday card.


Seize the Birthday has the option of music and I remembered this NBUS embossing
folder I'd gotten recently.

I paired it up with the fun font of this HAPPY BIRTHDAY die and decided to
add the little mouse from another NBUS set.

I'm glad to say that my general NBUS box is looking a bit emptier.
I'm trying to use these items quicker than I accumulate them.
I'm sure some of you know what I mean.  ;-)

It's pretty straightforward.  I die cut, colored with Copics (including some
scrap strips) and put them on an embossed piece.

Oh, and I added a little pom-pom to the top of his party hat.

Challenges:
AAA Birthday  - Animals (where my friend Trina is Guest Designer)
Can You Handle the Pressure - ATG with embossing (no twist of poppies)
NBUS #54 - Never Before Used Schtuff (EF & Mouse Stamp
Seize the Birthday #268 - Make it Musical

  
 




Card Recipe
Stamps:  Friend Wishes (Stampendous)
Ink:   Memento Tuxedo Black
Paper:   Neenah Solar White
Other:  Merry Medley EF (SU), Happy Birthday Die (SSS), Copics (BF15, R22, Y15, YG07, Vp5, B23, E33, E23, R30, R81)


Enjoy!

Super cute card for a birthday and I like the embossing folder you used. Very colorful and fun - and the pom pom just adds that special touch.

On my, why are we card makers addicted to product?!? It's almost like going to a restaurant and having one's eyes bigger than their stomach.
Bright and so much fun - perfect birthday card for someone young or someone young at heart.

So cute and colorful, Bonnie. I usually use my NBUS right away but I have ordered a number of things this summer that I haven't used yet. And another order is set to deliver today. We'll be here a couple more weeks so I should get back into making cards and using my NBUS.

This is so colorful and happy and cute and I absolutely love it! The multi-color birthday sentiment is fantastic. What fun with the music background and the pom pom on the mouse's hat. Good job with your NBUS! I'm catching up with the NBUS stamps, but my die basket is a little heavy, ahem.

That mouse is so cute Bonnie and love the pom pom on his hat, and the musical embossed background looks great with the multi coloured die cut sentiment and the complementary strips top and bottom look so pretty too. x
