DIY Birthday Cards

I don't know about you, but I've recently discovered March is a very busy month for birthdays! Therefore, I spent my weekend trying to crank out a few birthday cards.  The one with the flaming cake is by far my favorite design (which I stole from here via Pinterest). I've kept that one up my sleeve for years waiting for my dad's big 60th birthday which happens to be next week. (I'll warn you that all those flames are painstaking to assemble, but so, so worth it.)

 Though I did arrange this one myself, the cake used on this green model comes from the Silhouette store. However, you can download my new favorite font for free (Oooh, alliteration!) right here. This is an especially good font for die cutting machines because it looks naturally connected which means fewer pieces to glue down. For instance, Happy Birthday is in all of 6 pieces instead of 14 as it would be with other fonts.

 Lastly, this one is almost exactly styled as it comes from the Silhouette store, with the exception of the googly eye stickers. IMHO, it's the googly eyes that really make this one.
