Ok, I couldn't resist making lots of cards with the
New Stamp Tv Kit "Birthday Essentials"
This one I used Stamp Set
 "Happy Birthday To You"  
I used Gina K Designs  Pure Luxury Card Stock 
in Black Onyx, Prickly Pear, White Layering Weight.
 I used Gina K Designs Ink- Prickly Pear& stenciled the dots
 on the bottom half & blinged the top half.  Black for the 
sentiment & Black Onyx Gingham Ribbon. 
Wink Of Stella to the Prickly Pear Dots.

This one is made with the "Birthday Blessings" 
stamp set that is in the New Stamp Tv kit also.
I used one of the Perfect Panels to make this card. 
I used Christmas Pine Pure Luxury Card Stock and a Perfect Panel
added the sentiment.  Die cut the flower & popped it up. 
I colored the flower with Spectrum Noir Markers & Pencils
Added some pearls.
