Happy Bird-day!

Here is another birthday card for the day.  I usually make birthday cards at the last minute because I don't have them on hand, so right now I am going to build up my stash with some birthday cards over the next few weeks. 

This card is based on Kazan's Sketch 52 at 2 Sketches 4 You.  I used my Cricut and Gypsy with the Home Decor and Straight From the Nest carts along with the fabulous new features that Provo Craft has given the Gyspy software......one of my favorites being the Hide Contour feature.....I used it to make the cute little bird and I was able to cut the layers for it without wasting very much cardstock with all the extra cuts.  With the Hide Contour, I was able to cut the wing out without having to cut out the whole bird just to get the extra color for the wing.

This is also another birthday card for the Little Red Wagon Birthday Card Challenge.

        Cardstock, ribbon, ink, stamp: Stampin' Up!
        Brads: Making Memories
        Embossing: Cuttlebug
        Die Cuts: Cricut with Home Decor and Straight From the Nest carts

Whew....that was a whole lot of posting in one day.  There are only a couple of days left to enter for my blog candy, so be sure to sign up...remember, I am drawing for three winners next week. 

I hope your weekend is going great.  Do you have any plans for the holiday??  We will probably be home.  My husband has to work and with my broken toe and my son being ill, we don't have plans to go anywhere.  Thanks for stopping by to visit.

Hugs,

Ah, my Gypsy and Cricut guru - we won't talk about the Expression and Gypsy my DH bought me for Christmas that are still unused - though I am updating the Gypsy with the new upgrade, but the Expression. . .well. It's my goal to be using, well, getting it out of the box sometime this week as the kids get out of school. I know where to turn when I need help, cause that is one cute card!
