A Special Birthday Celebration ~ AAA Cards 1st Birthday Extravaganza!

I have a very special post this morning... it's AAA Cards 1st Birthday Extravaganza Party & Blog Hop!

I made this card to celebrate all of the wonderful challenges their hard working team puts together with fabulous themes, bright colors and always lots of fun!

I do have a confession to make today... I love Stephanie Barnard's Flip-its card dies! They are so much darn fun and perfect for making bright, interactive surprises for big Birthdays like today!

I created a shaker card with this one and used lots of bright patterned paper that I purchased from Hobby Lobby.

The stamp is from a 2015 Stampin' Up Sale-a-Bration set called Big Day... perfect because this is a Big Day!

I filled the shaker window with tiny, little 3mm iridescent sequins and matte yellow seed beads for lots of movement and that fun shaker sound!

Here is what the inside looks like when you open it up...
I made it with the extra flap so there's plenty of room to write a special message to the recipient or even to add a gift card pocket!

My special message to AAA Cards... I'm wishing you the Happiest of days today on your 1st Birthday! I've become a loyal fan and participant and I'm looking forward to many more wonderful challenges in the months to come!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
