Have a Happy Birthday

It is my Cousin Sue's birthday today in the UK.   Sue was a Bridesmaid in my wedding in 1982 and came out again for a holiday just before Covid hit - in February 2020.

The only thing she wanted to do was to hold a Koala again, as she had done in 1982.  So now, whenever I see a Koala, I think of Sue 🐨

So it was perfect opportunity to use that stamp set I came across last year for the first time - Sugar Pea Designs: Koalaty Time. 😍


I stamped the image on the front of folded cardstock, made a mask, then die-cut a circle out of a scrap cardstock and used that to sponge the 'sky'.  I coloured the image in with chalks on cotton buds and then sealed the image with a quick spray of hair spray.  I then added a topper layer, die-cut with a circle window and stamped with the sentiment, then finished off with the obligatory Kindy Glitz.

Another CAS card - a style I am liking more and more.

  3. Aw, what a sweet koala image, Cathy! Your cousin Sue will treasure this card and it will remind her of having her wish granted! How cool it would be to hold a koala! Your card is a wonderfully CASlicious design ~ you should do CAS more often! Thank you for sharing with everyone at NBUS! Hugs, Darnell
