Case-d birthday card


I was short on inspiration last night, so I decided to copy a card that I've seen all over Pinterest recently and absolutely love, by Monika Davis. You can see the original here.
 
I didn't have the products Monika used, so I raided my own stash & came up with a pretty solid recreation, I'd say.
 
The "Happy" stamp is a section from a stamp in Stampin' Up!'s Amazing Birthday set. I started off trying to mask off and repeat stamp it, but that was far too complicated & ink got everywhere. In the end I just stamped the whole stamp multiple times and cut out each "Happy" and glued it to the card. Sometimes the simple ways really are the best.
 
 
 
So have a look round Pinterest and the web in general for designs you like & think how you can adapt them using the stamps and inks you already have.
 
(Remember to give credit where it's due if you do base your design on someone else's work  :) )
