Simon Says Stamp Birthday Borders

Hi all :-) I hope you're all having a fabulous weekend!

I am here to share a card I made for one of my best friends son's 30th birthday (hence 29 candles ;-))

This new  STAMPtember®  Birthday Borders Stamp and Die Set is one of my newest faves!! 


haha, did you count them? yes there are 30 ;-)

 I coloured with copic markers and added Star dust Sticked to the flames. The sentiment is from a CAS-ual Fridays Shenanigans Set, love the sentiments in this one ;-)


 I finished the inside and made a matching envelope! I love to do this, makes a card even more special don't you think?! 


Thanks for looking! 
Enjoy your weekend and I hope you manage to find some crafty time :-D
