Oh Happy Day!
on
A happy day, indeed! Why? It’s Ardyth’s birthday and Darnell is having a surprise birthday blog hop for her! How special is that?! We’re to make a birthday card and link up to shower Ardyth with birthday wishes! I hope you’ll join in!
Ardyth’s creative talent is a tough act to follow, but I did my best to create a birthday card for her that she might be okay with. From what I’ve seen, she’s a bold, bright, graphic kind of designer, so I tried to muster up some creativity and attempt something at least a little along those lines for her happy day today!

| Stamps: Paper Trey (Tiny Triangles) Paper: SU cardstock (Basic Black), Paper Trey cardstock (white) Ink: SU (Daffodil Delight, Melon Mambo, Pumpkin Pie, Real Red) Accessories: gemstones, foam dots, word die (Simon Says Stamp/Memory Box) |
I layered the center panel on black after creating the design and popped it up with foam dots for dimension. I’ve been wanting to use the die cut words and thought they’d be appropriate for a birthday celebration!
Happy Birthday to you, Ardyth! I hope you have a wonderful day and enjoy your extra birthday wishes this year! You’re truly an inspiration to those of us in the card making world and we thank you for that!

We were channeling, Melissa. Did you notice that your triangles have a scallop design just like my circle, even though they are from different companies/sets? Spooky! Your card is CASlicious and flawless and definitely Ardyth-inspired! Thank you for joining the party! xo Darnell

Melissa, she will love this I'm sure…in fact, I'm betting she CASES your card! And speaking of your card, it's fantastic! Just the right amount of color and white space, and big, bold lettering with a touch of sparkle. Gorgeous card!! Bev
