I wanted to use the New Retro paper pack using different themes. This week, I wanted to make a birthday card using this amazing black retro paper. I created the zigzag edging using the Frames & Tags die. I then stamped and Scan'n'Cut the coffee image from the Coffee Delights stamp set. I colored the different mugs in the challenge colors, which was so fun!  I was a bit stumped to how to make the stack of mugs stand apart from the paper. I finally decided to to create a bright yellow circle using the Circle Frames die set. I thought it looked best at the corner, so I used the zigzag die to cut part of the circle off.  I then made a pink banner using the Banner Trio die set and added a sentiment from the Birthday Roundabout stamp set. I added 3D foam to the stack to make it pop. Some bling finished it off. Not only do I love the bright colors, I also love the sharp angles of the paper with the circular patterns on some of the mugs. I just love how this turned out, and I can't wait to play with this paper pack with other themes and stamp sets.
