Hello Kitty Beach Birthday Card

 I wanted to make a birthday card for a really sweet girl.  She has a sunny, summery personality and  loves Hello Kitty.  I was planning on moving all my old dies into my new (purchased at Ben Franklin Crafts) three-drawer wood topped rolling bin (a great work station for my Big Shot die cutting machine), so it was time to find my Hello Kitty dies.  I found them and remembered how sweet they are (Why have I neglected them?).  I also found three completed HK with sunglasses...woot! woot!..less work for me.  A die cut Spellbinders border seemed to be the perfect pairing with the HK figure and a beach blanket print paper from a Mambi 12x12 paper pad added a summer touch to the card (even though she is an October child).  For the birthday banner I used a clear stamp and die from Paper Smoochies.

Don't wait for clean up time to discover the craft treasures you already own. With a few new additions you can give a fresh twist (or curve) to 'old' supplies and even use up some  paper scraps.  I hope this card reminds you that Hello Kitty will live forever..... just like me.....LOL!
