It’s always fun to CASE a designer, and today’s birthday card is a CASE of Krista Frattin’s birthday card. I’m naming this “birthday card for all,” because I think it’s appropriate for male, female, young, or younger.
Birthday card for all
I began with a Sahara Sand card base, topped with a layer of Sahara Sand Cardstock. This layer was cut with an Ornate Layers Die, and then embossed with the Tasteful Textile Embossing Folder.
A second Ornate Layers Die was used to cut the horizontal strip from Peaceful Poppies Designer Paper.
The focal point, circle, was cut from Whisper White Cardstock, using a Painted Labels Die, which you see in the first picture.
“Happy Birthday,” from the Peaceful Moments Stamp Set, was stamped in Balmy Blue Ink, before placing the circle on Dimensionals.
The last detail was adding some Woven Threads Sequins, along with retired, gold star sequins. And, there you have a very “easy to make” birthday card.

Very pretty and the texture you have created is awesome.
Such a beautiful card, Sue! It definitely makes me think of a beach setting 🙂
Thank you, Toni! Beach days are here, or at least on their way!
I really love the tone on tone matting you did. I never think to do that with color…usually have done with white. Can’t wait to try your idea! TFS
I’m so happy to give you an idea! Thanks Kathy!
Darling darling child’s birthday card! Simple and sweet.
On the other card, I thought the focal point was in blushing bride. I love the way it looks with Sahara Sand in the photo…….even though it’s really whisper white.
Sahara Sand looks great with any color.
Thank you, Beth! I have large windows in my craft room, so I take pictures in natural light. Funny how it changes color.
Looks like sand. Pretty
Thanks, Liz! I hadn’t thought of that, but it does!
Your cards are always an inspiration – and lovely. Thank you.
Thank you, Terry Lynn! I’m so glad you like them!
