Simply Said - Happy Birthday

Hi Everyone!

This is Shelly from MypaperLove sharing a card from one of the newest sets called Simply Said. Wow, this is a must have for your stamp collection, it has some gorgeous fonts. I have showcased two sentiments, Just for You HERE & Congrats HERE. Today I'm showcasing Happy Birthday.

I just had to make another shaker... I just think shaker cards scream party :) This time I used a die cut instead of a square or circle... A little trickier but I will say using sequins is MUCH easier:) So it's pretty simple once you get the shaker done. I always stamp first, layer next. Look at this stamp - AWESOME every time.

If you would like more information and details on this card,

please stop by my blog .

Stop by to purchase the newest release and don't forget to join the

- We'd love you to share your projects using the CDD stamps.

Have a SUPER DAY!
