To make my Happy, happy birthday card, I die cut the white panel w/ the fabulous new Happy Background die. Wow! Does it ever make a birthday card attention grabbing & easy. I love that you can leave the big Happys in or push them out, like I did here to let some of the color of the bg paper show through. I stamped the Birthday onto a stitched flag w/ a navy ink & added a stacked die cut paper button for trim.Â
Here’s a look at the inside. Since the paper I used behind the white Happy panel on the front is double sided, I die cut out a rectangle from the card front so that the other side of the dp shows thru on the inside. I used that cut out of the card to stamp my inside greeting on.
Please be sure to comment on all the DT Blogs..it will be so appreciated & also increase your chances of winning!

Love this die. Great card.
I’m so excited to see what the SSDT is doing with the new Background Dies! This Happy Background is so much fun with the option to let the background color peek through. Love your little stacked button too!
Love how you used the die. Great inside, too.
what a happy card – makes
you feel that way when you see
it. The inside is great too.
thanks for sharing.
Love the inside of your card. Thanks for the inspiration
You’ve been so creative with showing the double-sided paper as well as the nicely combined die-cuts. Really like the little candle. Nice touch.
This is an awesome card, and that background die is incredible! I love it!!
So cute with the polka dots.
Fun card!

As if the outside of the card wasn’t perfect enough, what a nice surprise to see the extra care and attention given to the inside. The papers are perfect.
This is a very clever card idea and I love that pattern paper! Great use of the two sides.
Fantastic birthday card! Love the happy die cut!! I always forget to decorate the inside! Wonderful job!
So very pretty
This is a fabulous die Julie and I love the backing paper and such a great idea to die cut the back away to reveal the other side of the paper on the inside of the card. x
Cute! That really shows off the polka dots!
