Happy Birthday -

It was KKs birthday last week so we visited her this weekend and I whipped up a little card (yeah right took me forever!).  I loved it.  It is a lot cuter in person then in these pictures.  It looked a lot like her personality, I thought.  Remember that piece of chipboard I cut with my cuttlebug when I was testing my cricut vs the cuttlebug for cutting chipboard.  Well I finally used it!

There it is.  I painted it blue, covered it with paper which I cut to size with a craft knife.  I sanded around the edges to smooth it out.  Then I added a rub on.  Tied it with crochet thred (clearance $1 for 350 yards).  I wrapped the thread around- crossed it and taped it on the inside of the card. 

I used a poka dot background stamp from Martha Stewarts line- it tore when I peeled it off and was stucked to another stamp so I am not impressed with her stamps.  I tried to make it work but it wasn't perfect.  Grrr. 

I stamped the back of the card with red ink.  I cut birthday using the STAMPED cartridge which they are retiring.  sad.  I am glad I have it.  I used smooth and shorty.  I cut them on adhesive back mat paper so they went on as stickers.  They happy is another rub on. 

I used a punch on the border piece and rounded the corners. 

I like it most because to me it looks like KK.  I debated doing a black and white card because that is her thing but as Tim Gunn on project runway would stay - you have to stay true to yourself even when you are designing for someone else.  I am a color girl - no black and white for me!
