So many birthday's and too little time to do holiday cards. I'm going to have to start making cards way ahead of time. Here's a simple card I did for my sister-in-law.

I used 3 different Cuttlebug embossing plates, Birds and Swirls, Happy Birthday and Swiss Dots. Then the Flowers, Branch and Leaves die set from Sizzix. Again I used the flower technique from Paper Pleasing Ideas. Cut, paste, add ribbon and a little jewel, and it's ready to mail.
