For Patricia

Happy Birthday Patricia!

Hi! Today is a special day because it's my friend Patricia's birthday AND her grandson is playing in his FIRST little league game :) A couple of exciting reasons to celebrate today! Now, for her card this year, I wanted to go with something fun. She is a huge Mickey Mouse fan so I went with a Mickey and Minnie card.

 Here is Mickey...

 Here is Minnie...

And the "happy Birthday wishes...to someone who makes others so happy" sentiments are from the Petite Pairs stamp set (Clear 122497, Wood 122495).

And what's great about the Petite Pairs stamp set is that with every sentiment that you stamp on the front, it has a matching pair for the inside of the card. I love this stamp set for that reason and that there are so many different sentiments for so many different occasions.

I hope Patricia enjoys her special day and I hope she and her family have an amazing time at her grandson's little league game :)

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day! Enjoy your weekend!!

Mickey 1st Birthday

Hello everyone! Today, I'd like to share a birthday card that I made for a little boy who is turning 1. My friend asked me to make a card for her and of course I said yes :) When I asked her what are the birthday boy's favorite things these days, she mentioned Mickey and the first thing I thought of  were some decor that my friend Chan made for a Mickey and Minnie Party. 

Chan's friend asked her to help out with her kids' birthdays and they made some super cute stuff! I cased this birthday card from the invitations that she made. Hop on over to Two Rosie Cheeks to check out the super cute Mickey and Minnie birthday invitations.

I wanted to create a Mickey that would fit the whole front of the card so I busted out all of my circle punches and circle dies to play with until I got the right size. I ended up using the 3" Circle Originals die (122125), the 1-3/4" Circle (119850) punch and the 3/4" Circle punch (119873).

I also used the Stripes folder (123128) to add a little texture to the background. And the 'happy birthday' sentiment is from the Family Reunion stamp set (Clear 122712, Wood 122710). I used some Silver Glimmer Paper (124005) and the Typeset Alphabet Bigz dies (127553) to cut out the number 1.

Okie dokie, have a great Monday and enjoy the start to your week. Thanks for stopping by :)
