4 Bar Happy Birthday

Hey there, crafty friends - hope you're having a great weekend! I watched Craft Roulette Episode #319 live tonight & crafted along.


Supplies: Paper - Neenah Classic Crest Solar White
BoBunny; scraps
Other - foam tape; Hero Arts enamel dots

Host Mary Gunn had Carrie Rhodes (‪@CarrieRhoades‬) as her guest. Carrie was making her 7th appearance on the show & is known for making shaker cards. I did not follow suit! As usual, the wheel was spun four times for the necessary parameters:


  • Project - 4 Bar: - I formed a 4 Bar (3.5x4 7/8") from cardstock.
  • Colors - x: Wedding: I used colors from a wedding I was in - White/Blue/Yellow
  • Element - Sweet(S): I added a die cut cupcake.
  • Random - A Touch of Gray: The shadow on the HAPPY was cut from gray cardstock (although it looks kraft in the photo...) 
I still had Emily Moore products out on the table from Tuesday's post so I went with the birthday dies plus a label die set. For the sweet element, I found a bitty cupcake die in a set from SBC Fest. Simple die cutting and assembling - very quick and easy!! I sort of enjoyed the 4 Bar size, especially since one of the Emily Moore labels was perfect for it!

That's it for today, friends. Happy crafting and thanks for visiting!!
