Happy Birthday Month - May!

I am really loving the Claire papers and can't seem to move to another packet. Also, because this is the month that has the most birthdays (in our family anyway), I'm always in need of many birthday cards. So, below is the birthday card that I gave to my son for his birthday! This is a 4.5 x 4.5 size card.  I wish I took a picture of the inside before I gave it away....

Papers:  Claire Workshop on the Go, Outdoor Denim and Colonial White cardstocks
Stamps:  D1527 Perfect Fit Frames; B1417 Perfect Fit - Birthday
Ink:    Outdoor Denim, Sunset  Exclusive Inks
Embellishments:  z1327 Sparkles - Blue & Green Assort.; B1751 Baker's Twine Harvest  Assort.
Other:  z1686 Art Philosophy cartridge;3-D Foam Tape

Below are the stamp sets used to create this card.  First is the Perfect Fit Frames:

Perfect Fit - Birthday

 May all your birthdays be festive!
