"Happy Birthday" card by Noey Hunt
Products used - Patterned papers: Jillibean Soup (stripes), Chatterbox (pink); Stamp: Close to My Heart; Tools: Cricut Birthday Bash cartridge

Variation 1: I kept my project pretty true to the sketch. The only change I made was how I embellished the central decorative square. Instead of a long message with a few small embellishments, I used a large die cut to emphasis which birthday is being celebrated and a small message.
