Birthday Cards, One Design, Many Cards

I decided to use one basic idea and produce as many cards as I could. The basis of my idea started with my border punches. I made one card for each border punch.  The design was simple, but fun to reproduce. I got 6 cards total.

I dug deep into some old supplies, and just had fun. I heat embossed the Happy Birthday on each of the cards. I got that sentiment set recently at Hobby Lobby. It is the Stampabilities Card Phrases .








Thanks for stopping by.
