Creating special birthday cards can sometimes be challenging, especially for my two daughters who have BDays in September. I always want to up my game!  I played around with my new Fuse heat tool and after a few attempts I created a small pocket for sequins and glittery stars.  I used a few new stencils and distress inks from Ranger to create the background. I just got a new set at the Great American Stamp store in Westport, CT from Hero Arts that included a die cut and coordinating stamps.  I filled the clear pocket and tucked it under the word banner to hide the glue tape that I used to secure the filled pocket.  A bit of shiny twine completed the look.  I created a second one using some different colors.  I need a bit more practice, so time to create a few more BDay cards for upcoming birthdays!
