Hello crafty friends!

I hope you’re enjoying these long, summer days as much as I am!  It’s July and you know what that means, Birthday Month for HSN! Now who doesn’t love a good celebration?  July is such an exciting month full of barbecues, fireworks, summer fun and of course an entire month-long HSN celebration!  To say Happy Birthday, I made this gorgeous card and you can too!

Your friends and family will love that you took time to create a unique and special card for them. This pretty card can be given to anyone for a wide variety of occasions just by changing the sentiment. Say thank you, congratulations or even hello by adding a sticker from your craft cabinet. I know that I will be making a lot of Birthday cards from now until August as I have many Leo friends!
