Happy Birthday Firecracker Baby!

Two cards from today!  Wow!

I wanted to make a birthday card, 

for my Sister, using the (sadly retired) 

Happy Congratulations stamp set.

This is another set that I was (incredibly) surprised 

was not carried over into our new annual catalog!  

I LOVE this stamp set!

Luckily, it is still available

as a Digital Download!

My Sister was born on the 4th of July 

so a Red/White/Blue theme is expected ;)

The Paper Players Challenge this week is to use

 Red/White/Blue in your project!  Ha!  No brainer!

The Sketch Challenge over at Freshly Made Sketches

looked like a fun one to use for her card.

I hope she likes it.

I think it came out quite nice... if I may say so ;)

If you happen to have this stamp set, 

and would like to re-create my card, 

I am providing a full supply list 

at the end of this post.

I can think of many other images 

you could substitute for the lanterns... 

think outside the box and give it a try!

If you do, send me a link to your project!

I'd love to see it!

Happy Stamping 

and Thanks for visiting me again today!
