Today a beautiful Happy Birthday die from Elizabeth Craft Designs arrived in my mailbox with a prize I won and so I immediately had to try it out. So I made a quick and easy card with it. I love it! I am entering this in the Dies R Us Challenge #13-Anything **NEW**. So my new item is this pretty sentiment die.
This card was so quick and easy to make as I used a stencil from the Sheena Douglas Groovin' 60's collection called Just Groovy to make the background. I went with bright happy colors and then simply die cut the Happy Birthday and added it to the front of my card design. I think that stencil makes up into a very cheery and fun design which to me speaks of a celebration. One could use it for any age and for many celebratory occasions. I hope you like my easy design and it took only ten minutes to make.
Well we got through the last round of snow but more is coming Wednesday again so it seems Winter is going full blast this week. At least the sun is shining today yet. This morning when the sun hit that white snow it just make it sparkle and it was gorgeous. It was a pretty world indeed!
Thanks for visiting and for commenting. I love to hear from you.
God bless,
Verna

What a cool card! I love the groovy feel with all those colors and designs and I like that it only took you ten minutes to make! Very pretty!
This is indeed groovy! Great job blending those colors so perfectly. What a fun design!
Wozer! That groovy stencil is amazing and then you have colored it with pizzaz! Love this!
Congratulations on the prize, Verna, and for using it in such a beautiful manner and blending a rainbow of colors in your card! There certainly have been wave upon wave of strong weather patterns! We go from above average temps a few days, to freezing for a few days. The poor farmers! This will be my last year for covering most of my plants. You cannot keep them covered when the rains come, and rain always comes before the bitter cold, so it's a constant yo-yoing. Still, nothing terrible to complain about here, for sure! hugs, de
Beautiful card Verna...love the stenciling you did and all the pretty colors! We had ice last night, I couldn't even stand up it was so bad...rain overnight on top of all the snow...staying home is where I will be staying put!! Thank you for joining our challenge at Dies R Us!

This is so cheerful with the bright, happy colors. I like the confetti look of it and the font on happy birthday is a great one. We are suppose to get more snow by the weekend too. Right now it is raining and most of the snow we had is gone. Plus 40 some degrees today after our cold of nine!
Fun card indeed! It certainly could cover a lot of themes - a good way to make up a stash of cards! Congratulation on your win - a very useful little die.
What a fabulous card Verna! Love that beautiful background and made me smile to see you are enjoying your 'winnings' ... great job! Thanks so much for playing in our ‘Anything NEW’ challenge at Dies R Us. Good Luck and please come back again soon!

Verna, I love the whimsy and color in your card. It's beautiful and its perfect. Great design work too!!!
Such a happy card Verna and wonderful blending of those pretty colours, with that fabulous stencil. The font on the sentiment looks great too x.
Hope you don't get too much snow today.....Stay in and Craft! x
That is a neat background stencil, I like it in the multicolor. How fun to use your. New die, too!
What a fun & groovy birthday card! Love the background!
Awesome card for anyone! That stenciled background is fantastic!
A 10 minute card -- you have to love that! And so fun and colorful! It makes a great birthday card, but, yes, I can see the background for many other things, as well. It almost reminds me of peacock feathers. Wonderful, Verna!
Love how you blended the colors on this card, Verna. Glad you linked up with us at Dies R Us.
