Missing You Birthday Card

 I created this card for my sister's upcoming birthday next month.  She lives in a different state so I hardly ever get to spend her birthday with her.

I used the Stampin' Up! January Product of the Month Fabulous Sayings stamp set and a sentiment from the December Paper Pumpkin kit.

I chose Fresh Freesia card stock to be the base of my slimline card.  I also stamped "happy birthday" in Fresh Freesia ink on the background.  Then I cut a smaller panel of Fresh Freesia cardstock and dry embossed it with the Beautiful Pattern embossing folder.  I also stamped the birthday sentiment in Frsh Freesia ink and fussy cut it out.  

I used a few patterns of the Lovely and Beautiful DSP to cut squares using the Snippets of Joy dies and some gold metallic paper to create the arrangement on the left side of the card.

I finished off the card with some gold sequins for a little more sparkle.
