Need a birthday card?


There are 365 days in a normal year, and then you have the wierd year with 366. Every single day, SOMEone is having a birthday! And I'll bet you know at least 6, right?? I did this card at a stamp camp before I signed on to be a Demo gal, but it's such a neat card - great for the pre-teen, the tween, the teen, and all those older folks (like me) who still kind of celebrate that day. All the product is from SU! but what I like is the glittering candles! And they are big! The candles are actually made from the petals in the "Pick A Petal" stamp set. The Designer Series Paper is Rainbow Sherbet and the cardstock is Tempting Turquoise, Apricot Appeal, and Green Galore. I've forgotten the name of the Birthday stamp set (forgetfulness, LOL!). A cute and very simple card to make using Dazzling Diamonds for the sparkle in the candle! Just don't let the dog eat it! HA!

Tip of the Day:
Are your markers running dry? Need to refill them? It's really messy to pull the marker out of the barrel and fill with ink. Here's a tip from my upline, Kathy: Drop a tiny amount of ink refill into the cap and store the marker upright. It will soak right up and is less messy!! TaDA!!

Thanks for stopping by!

  1. What a great idea! Love the candles and the colors. But I have to know.....did your dog actually eat glitter? (Mine would.)

  2. My older dog would! He ate anything that wasn't nailed down! But he developed cancer and had to be put to sleep. That tore my DH up - he loved that mutt! Now we have a long-haired diva cat, Muffin, the cat that my sister swears came from hades!!
