Happy Birthday Card

Happy Birthday!

I made this card for my MIL's birthday, when I realized I had no home-made birthday cards left. And I really wanted to play with my Silhouette.

My inspiration was this card:

As well as this one for the candles:

Of course I cut mine directly from Silhouette so it was one seamless card rather than sticking together two pieces of paper with letters. I used patterned yellow paper for the flames and a stamped, embossed and ink edged "Birthday" banner. I also used up a scrap of green patterned paper for the backing to the HAPPY, which I glued to the inside of the card to make the letters pop. The candles were washi tape.

If you want to make a similar card yourself, I have made a cut file with all of the necessary shapes.
You can fit two cards on one sheet of 8.5x11 cardstock.

If you use the cut file, I would love to see what you made :)
