quick and simple birthday card

Happy Birthday

Hello Friends, I am so happy it’s finally Friday and I am ready for a weekend…what about you?  Today I have a super quick and easy Birthday card. I created a window with this Spellbinder die and colored the cupcake with some Copic Markers. I love the Martha Stewart punch that punches three butterflies at one time. I used a glue pen and applied glitter to each butterfly, Add a few gems and you are done 🙂 Quick, easy and simple! 
Happy Birthday

This cupcake stamp is from a Halloween transparent set from Penny Black…but, don’t let that scare you…you will find yourself using these cupcakes all year. I will be back in a few days with another cupcake that doesn’t have ANY calories. Have a great weekend! Hugs, Kathy

    You know, I don’t think you can truly say anything you make is simple! It is jam packed with talent and cuteness! TFS!

    I love the shadow effect of your aperture with the black inner panel. The colours are superb & so effective contrasting with the blacks & whites. The shading of your cupcake gives such sparkle with the serrated jaw teeth effect & as always I love your trademark white ovals & stitching.
