My Internet has been down most of yesterday and now most of today!!!… how sad is that!!!…. I had to admit but it gave me lots of extra time… I think it means I need to set aside “internet time”… and I could get more done!!… anyway while I had “all this time”… I decided to make a card inspired by a card by Mary Hamer… I saw her card a long time ago… and have wanted to be that brave… today I had time to be that brave… if she sees my card I sure hope that I have done her proud!!… besides the flowers the leaves the sun and grass… its all one cut from A Childs Year… cut out in 6 different papers and cut apart and pieced together. Thank you so much for looking… I have misses everybody.. Thank you so much for looking!

Base Camp

"Happy Birthday" Shadow sizes on the letters with only the height given the width will be right when you set the height...

"Happy Birthday" regular letters... sizes on the letter with only the height given the width will be right when you set the height.

H - w 1.32 x h 2.16, B - w 1.31 x h 2.19

All other letter h 1.26

Asterisk shadow and regular cut cut @ h 1.32.

Doodle Charms

Cupcake and its layer cut @ h 2.26

Cupcake Shadow cut @ h 2.37

Because I wanted the candles cut in another color I used a George rectangle to make new candle and A Child's Year for a teardrop to make a new flame.

George

Rectangle cut @ w 0.22 x h 0.62

A Child's Year

Teardrop cut @ 0.21 x h 0.38

I welded the Happy Birthday shadow together except for the H along with one of the cupcake shadows and cut duplicated that ...the first layer I attached to the background paper the second one I popped from the first one... I cut 2 H shadow shapes...and popped each from the other.....you need two extra cupcake shadows to pop one from the second welded shadow piece and the next one on top of that.... I popped on shadow asterix from the welded letters and then added the white Astrix pieced... I glued the whole cupcake piece to the top cupcake shadow with the candle trimmed off... I glued one icing piece directly on top of that...and then I embossed and popped the top icing piece on top of that... the candle and flame are glued directly to the top shadow piece of cupcake....I hope that these instructions are clearer than mud!

I kept seeing the word HOT a sombrero and a pepper... well I just knew that is the first thing anyone would think so I didn't want to go with that.... but then what left.... nothing in my little brain I can tell you that... usually I get these done early... but this one I made late Saturday night..... and I was pleased when finished it!!... but PEOPLE it turns out that you can make lots of things with the word hot!!..lots.... just check out The Cuttlebug Spot this week and see.... those ladies on the Design Team rocked!....
