Inspiration Wednesday - which also happens to be.....

.....MY BIRTHDAY! {toot, toot!--party hats, confetti and balloons!} which is the inspiration for my card today. I love birthdays, even if there isn't a party. There WILL, however, be cupcakes. ;) Plus, I have a special day planned as my mommy and daddy are coming to see me. Yippee! We don't see each other nearly enough as we live 200 miles apart, but I'm so happy they want to make the trip over today!!

So, here's my card using, from the newest release, the Lost at Sea stamp and die set.


From this angle you can see the popped up sentiment and card front. I used cutting mat packaging to cut the sentiment block and added the foam tape behind the letters so it's not visible.


The set I used for this card:

Product List:
My Creative Time, Lost at Sea stamp and die set
My Creative Time, Let's Celebrate {"party" word shadow die}
Foam tape, clear packaging, Hero Arts inks
