Today is the day to start creating a stash of birthday cards and I decided to go big! The Biggest Birthday Ever seemed like a fun place to start.
When I saw the birthday party hat created with this set at On Stage, I knew that I wanted to make one. The bottom of the ice cream cone makes a perfect party hat when turned over. The best part is that this set has matching Wish Big Framelit Dies.
The vibrant colors in one of the patterns found in the Festive Birthday DSP seemed perfect for my birthday hat, Using the framelit, I cut 2 party hats & trim for the bottom of the hat. Attach 1 party hat to the card & fold the other hat in half & attach to the 1st party hat. Only apply a thin strip of glue in the middle of the hat .
Melon Mambo Thick Baker's Twine makes it easy to create a matching tassel. It is slipped under the party hat flower topper which is adorned with a Crushed Curry Enamel Shape. The base of my card is Bermuda Bay which is difficult to photograph because it always looks more blue.
More fun for the inside of the card with the ice cream cone. Stamping & cutting with the matching thinlit dies makes it so easy to create a fun cone for the inside of my card. The birthday banner & sentiments can be found in the Birthday Banners Stamp Set & the coordinating Bunch of Banners Framelits Dies. For a closer look at the sentiment, check out the picture below.

What a cute card! Love everything about it!
This is a very colorful Birthday card, inside and out! I love a bright card for a Birthday. Like Margie I like everything about it. The bright colors, the embossing folder you used and the inside of the card is super neat. I also like the Banner and the great saying. All that said, “it’s a winner!”
I’ll keep my comment short, exquisite! I loved everything & I mean everything about this card! Awesome card!
Bright and fun card! Genius using the cone die not that it would have been that hard to cut out. Love that bright hat. I have done that technique with hearts, flowers, and pumpkins but not a party hat I don’t think. The inside of the card has me wanting some ice cream! That banner is really sweet!
