Firstly I’d like to thank the team at CAS Colours & Sketches for selecting my card as one of their weekly winners. I’m also delighted to announce that from next year, I’m joining the Design Team at CAS Colours & Sketches – it’s definitely an honour to be invited. I’m really happy that my sister has joined the team too. Her upline (and my surrogate upline) Eimear has also been invited. How awesome is that?

I’m switching gears a little today and have a birthday card to share. I put all of my Christmas cards together and there are far more than I expected so I took a break. And yes, I might possibly be playing with the new goodies from the upcoming catalogue!

This card all started with the It’s My Party designer washi tape (available from January 5), which I put towards the bottom of a piece of whisper white card. I originally tried two different designs of washi but after I looked at it and shook my head, I looked up to find my brother’s expression definitely very negative. So one piece of tape it is. I cut out the happy, from the Hello You Thinlits dies in melon mambo to match the tape and decided on old olive as a contrasting colour. The birthday comes from Endless Birthday Wishes. After stamping that, I glued on the happy with the fine tip glue pen – I really like this pen for the words although you have to move quite quickly because the glue sets rapidly. As you can see, there’s a slim mat of old olive and that’s on a melon mambo card stock base. A very CAS birthday card.

Here are the details of the products that I used to make this card. Just click on any of them to be taken to my online store.

See you tomorrow,
