happy birthday to you!




Hello!  It's Amy here sharing a quick birthday card! 

I'm trying to make more birthday cards this year.  It seems as if I'm always scrambling to make them last minute, and that's no fun.

I've been quite smitten with gray.


Bonus points that this could easily be a masculine birthday card!

I love the

I've been smitten with gray lately, too, so this little cutie is right up my alley! Love that this could be used for a masculine or feminine card and love the little gift card holder you made with the die. That is seriously clever and looks beautiful done up in the vellum!

Great masculine or teenage card, I'm thinking, Amy! Love the pop of yellow on the gray and white. The vellum bag is perfect for a gift card too :-)
