This is a card I made for our own irishgreensue (Sue), to help her celebrate at the birthday bash her family put on over the weekend. Her birthday is really in July; I guess she gets to celebrate twice!
Really, there's not a lot of explanation needed here, Just a simple shaker card - which really didn't photograph that well. I kept getting a glare on the shaker window, and it looks cloudy, although it really isn't. I do wish I had used larger beads and some regular sequins in addition to the star-shaped ones.
The inside was decorated with a silver star border and TE teacups - because Sue does love her tea!
As always, thanks for looking!
ETA: Sue reminded me in her comment about all the sparkle - I did give it a pretty good bath with Psss't Sparkle Shimmer Spritz. I added Stickles to the candle flames, too, but didn't re-photograph.

Oh Jody!!
When I opened this, there were gasps coming from all over!!! There is so much more to it than the photograph shows!!! You had to spray everything (except the acetate window) because THE ENTIRE CARD SPARKLES !!! Love all the dies you used - both inside and out - the black "celebrate" and stars really POP against the bright pink, yellow and green candled card front, and the inside, with the strip of silver stars and stack of embossed, colorful teacups made it look as pretty INSIDE the card as the front!! You spoiled me good, Girlfriend, and wowed the crowd at the party!! Big hugs of thanks, Jody!~!

How fun this one is! Love the happy, bright colors and I'm sure this just made Sue's day! The sparkle, dies and shaker window are fantastic and the photo does show it well! Your design on this one is fabulous!

Darling card for Sue, Jody. Sue is so full of life and an "action" card is a perfect one for her. Pretty bright and cheery colors....again, most appropriate.
