Ok, let's talk cards!   I made a very special birthday card for my BFF,  Dusti.  She has been my best friend for 34 years.  She's one of the most special people in my life and is the #1 recipient of my card creations.  

Happy Birthday Dusti!!

Using all dies and stamps from the Stamp of Approval Young at Heart Collection, I wanted to create a big birthday party on paper for Dusti.  I wanted her card to look like a celebration of bright colors and party favors with a crazy big cake!  When she opens this card I want her cheer!!

I focused most of my energy on stamping.  I stamped a 6 layer cake up the side of this card using all of my favorite bright colors and every cake layer in the Young at Heart  Bring on The Cake stamp set.  I left room for one candle at the tippy top! (sorry Dusti, no room for 50 more  ;)   Then, in the same colors I added some crazy streamers.   I repurposed the large striped cake layer by stamping it multiple times along the left side of the card in black ink to make a nice, slightly wonky striped edge.  
 Then I stamped the sentiment in black to give it some balance. 
I topped it off with some diecuts: a balloon and some confetti.  Let the party begin!!
For this card I used the following supplies:
Ink:  tide pool, butterbar, ultra pink (Hero Arts Shadow Ink), onyx black (Versafine)
Paper:  140 lb white (Neenah Exact), audrey blue, sunshine, doll pink (Simon Says Stamp), silver sparkle (My Favorite Things).
Accessories: wink of stella clear (Zig) dimensional tape (3M), fun foam (unknown)
