The Seize the Birthday Challenge is one after my own heart: Die Cuts. There's an option for a stamped sentiment if you want, and I'll be back tomorrow with a last-minute entry in that category as well.
But for today, I have a birthday card that uses ONLY die cuts.
This Stamp Market die came as a freebie several releases ago. I wasn't quite sure how to use it. The Happy is actually one die and I knew I wanted each letter to be a different color so I lined us narrow pieces of cardstock and managed to die cut them separately in a couple of runs through the die cutting machine. I loved the bright colors against the black card, and once that was done, once again I was puzzled about what to do next.
I finally settled on Gold Mirror cardstock, and I'm happy with the way it stands out layered on top of the HAPPY! I don't know if this would qualify as CAS--but it makes for a relatively quick and easy card to reproduce. The only time consuming part of it was the decision making!
This card has already gone in then mail, but I decided it was time to get it on the blog as well.
