Happy Birthday

 


 

Hey there! We've decided to add a CAS challenge to our weekly rotation at Just Us Girls. YAY!! The hostess will chose the theme to go along with it. This week, Carol is looking for BIRTHDAY cards. We all need those!



I started with some partial stenciling on my card base. My sweet friend, Marcia sent me this Gina K birthday sentiment a couple of months ago. The letters spelling out HAPPY were white. I colored them with a Copic maker. The wee mouse and hamster were left over from some CCC images my other sweet friend Michele sent me. Aren't crafty friends the best friends! I do need a play date with these gals!

The position of hamster's arms lead me to coloring more card stock and punching out some itty bitty confetti for him to toss. I think the little mouse is pleased with the festivities! Probably waiting for cake too!

Okay, your turn to fill our gallery with birthday happiness!

The hamsters make this card so fun... and your soft colors are so sweet. Loved this since I first saw it behind the scenes!!!

This is absolutely adorable, Lisa. I mean the animals are cute on their own but the way you have them celebrating really brings the card to life.
If you ever get a play date with M & M, be sure it's in the summer so I can join you too. ;)

Anytime, any day of the week, Lisa! I love the 'ta da' that chubby little mouse adds to your sweet birthday wish!

This is adorable, Lisa! I especially love the confetti. Crafty friends are the best!

Crafty friends are the best! I love this and I heard about it from Hammy, who heard about it from another crafty friend who has a guinea pig. It's a hit! I love everything about it, especially how you cleverly had the little hamster tossing confetti and how you nestled the mouse in! A fun and festive birthday card! Hugs, Darnell

We do all need birthday cards and that is the one I have the most trouble creating! It`s not that I don`t have the things to make them, I need the inspiration. This is so super cute and any one would be so honored to get this!

Ina G said...

Fabulous fun and full of life. Hammy is enjoying throwing the confetti around. Knew Darnell would be ticked pink with this card. Such an awesome CAS design Lisa. Super soft colouring and big bold black sentiment too.

Your mouse and hamster are certainly enjoying sharing birthday greetings. Soooo cute! Love the added stenciling to complete the scene.

OMG! How did I almost miss this. Super cute. Love the partial stencilling and the confetti! I have this GKD die and can’t wait to use it.

Stephanie Lanzalotto said...

I love this happy birthday die set (need it) and the way you used it here. The stenciled wall is the perfect setting for these two adorable critter friends celebrating with true abandon. Love the confetti throwing too!
