It's Happy Birthday Cards today at the Happy Heart!! I always wait until the last minute to make birthday cards, can you say procrastination? I'm turning over a new leaf this year and making a bunch of cards this month to have on hand for all those special people who deserve something hand-made. Here's some filled with Hero Arts stamped goodness!
Tiny Tags, It's Your Day, Essential Messages
Sweet little tags in citrus colors. I used the coordinating die (DI046) to cut out the tags as I'm not so fond of cutting things myself.
Tiny Tags, It's Your Day, Houndstooth Background, Envelope Pattern
Don't forget the guys on your birthday list (I usually panic at the last minute and throw something together).
Tiny Tags, Everything Flowers, It's Your Day, Newspaper Background, (and a tiny flourish from a really old set that's a favorite of mine, Frames and Messages).
I love that chalkboard look and did my best to imitate it on the Tiny Tag. Those little flowers on the tag are hand-drawn.
