Mia's One!

This is the card I came up with for hubby's cousin's granddaughter's Hello Kitty themed first birthday celebration last month. Used my Cricut and Hello Kitty Greetings cartridge for kitty and balloons from the Celebrations cartridge. For the "sign" I had MTC create a cutfile using Comic Sans font and my Silhouette to cut. Background panel was embossed using a folder from the Sizzix Hello Friend set. Tiny flowers and leaves were punched using mini punches from Punch Bunch.
Wanted the inside to be fun and colorful, but simple so I chose to do a basic pop up card. Rainbow, clouds and stars are from Cricut Once Upon A Princess cartridge; Hello Kitty with balloons and little birdie are coloring book images rendered into cutfiles using MTC.
If you look closely here, you can see I used clear acetate plastic to pop up Hello Kitty to try to give the illusion that she was floating in the sky with her balloons.
Then to continue with the theme of the party, I picked up the cutest quilted Hello Kitty naptime blanket and matching pillow set from Moemoe and More from a recent tradeshow. Darned, wish I had remembered to take a photo of it! Happy Birthday, little Mia!
BTW, the next two stamps in the series of Sister Stamps Chinese Zodiac stamps is set for release at the beginning of next month. I'll be participating in the introduction of the new Year of the Boar and Year of the Rat stamps so please stop by again on Thursday and Friday to take a peek!
