This is quite an easy card to put together, yet has an elegance that can’t be beat.

Simply, stamp a quick background with one stamp, in this case the rose stamp from Fifth Avenue Floral, repeated many times. Don’t overlap too much, but try to eliminate any blank, white space as well.

Stamp your sentiment twice, once onto whisper white card stock and once onto baja breeze card stock.  I always keep my “scraps” with my full size sheets of card stock for when I am using punches.  You will punch out the baja breeze ring that says Happy Birthday, to adhere to the sentiment stamped on the whisper white card stock.  Flip your punch over so that you can see where you are punching.  This tip eliminates all the guess work and frustration of trying to stamp straight. Punch the 1″ circle first then still holding your stamped baja breeze card stock punch the 1 1/4″ circle to release the ring that says Happy Birthday.  Adhere this to the sentiment stamped on the whisper white card stock.  Layer one baja breeze scallop circle behind the white scallop circle.  This will complete the sentiment focal point.

Assemble your card.  ENJOY!!

  This card was inspired (if not fully CASED) by a Stampin’ Up!  publication, Stampin’ Success.  A magazine that is only available to independent demonstrators of Stampin’ Up! Contact me and I will tell you how you can become a demonstrator.  It is pretty awesome.

I was struck by the simplicity of the design and the intensity of it’s focal point, the floating hearts drifting up and away to the one that you love, with your birthday wishes to them.
