Welcome to my stop on the Birthday Hop! Kris has created 6 new Birthday themed Critter Sets, plus 2 "KD-Kits" which not only have colored images but also digi papers, journal cards, photo frames, brads, etc - a great value, so be sure to check those out in the store! 

I've created a few cards using the "Birthday Bear and Birthday Bash KD kit" digi set.

The first one was kept simple for a 9-year-old boy's birthday.  I just love this little bear,
and I used some Cuttlebug folders (Numbers and Happy Birthday) to emboss the 
blue layers a bit to fit the occasion.  The birthday candles can be untied and used
on his birthday cake/cupcake too.

On the inside, I used the sweet circle sentiment, colored slightly with Copics 
and just a basic layer with the Labels One SB's die and a great go-to Happy Birthday stamp
that I have had for years from SugarLoaf, Inc (c) 2002.


This is so pretty in pink ... I used the Birthday Bear again (but this time in pink), cut it out with my large scalloped circles SB die, placed it on a paper doily, added another layer of Pretty in Pink
Stampin Up cardstock on top of some BasicGrey pink paper I had left over from a paper pack.  The circle sentiment this time was colored slightly with my Copics and layered on the front
(popped up a bit for dimension).



This sweet puppy dog would be sure to cheer anyone up on their birthday, even an old girl like me ;)  The image was cut out with SB circles dies, popped up on a scalloped circle made with BasicGrey red paper with polka dots from the JuneBug collection that I felt matched her bow perfectly, and then I added a few more presents and confetti from this same digi set to seal the Happy Birthday deal :)



Your next stop on this birthday hop to visit is Helen's blog!  
You will love her creations.
Be sure to stop by and give her a "little love."

Have a great time!! :)

Denise, the Happy Birthday stamp is an oldie from a company called Anita's (c) 2002 Sugarloaf, Inc. I believe I got it at AC Moore

ahhhhh soooo cute! Love how you have used actual candles as the embellishment for the 1st card! I'll have to remember this. And how you have transformed a more masculine care using the same digi into a cute girly card!
