Hey Heffy Doodlers!

Can you feel the excitement?! It's our first birthday and we've got a great party lined up for you!

It has been such a fun experience to have a small part in the rise of this company. Lesley (our fearless leader and captain of all things Heffy Doodle) is one of the sweetest and most adorable people I know, and I am just so tickled to see all the good things that have come her way as a result of her hard work. 

You can't have a birthday party without a birthday card, am I right?! So today's card is all about birthdays. 

Confession: I am about to lose my mind with how many scraps of cardstock I have lying about in my craft room! So I was determined to put those to good use! You don't have to waste any of your scraps if you don't want to, and here's a great way to recycle them.

I cut up a bunch of my cardstock scraps into thin strips. I glued and placed them on to a trimmed cardstock panel (4 x 5.25 inches). I laid them on a diagonal angle so I could hide the fact that I'm not the best at making any straight lines! 

After I was done creating the background, I cut out two different scallop pieces using a Lawn Fawn scallop die. I glued those on to the card panel and then worked on my images.The newest Heffy Doodle release has a fantastic birthday themed stamp set, so I was excited to use it! I stamped them in a copic safe black ink and then colored them in with my copic markers. I used the matching die set to cut them out and then added some fun details with a white gel pen. 

I used some foam tape to adhere my cake images on to my card panel to give some fun dimension. I then used one of the sentiment stamps from the new release to make my greeting. I trimmed it down and then mounted it on to the card using foam tape as well. 

To finish off the card, I glued the entire panel on to a cut and scored 4.25 x 5.5 inch card base.

Thanks so much for stopping by today, and let's get to the good stuff on the birthday blog hop details!
