Birthday Wishes

When I saw this card posted by Carol on her Crafty Magra blog, I knew I had to make one (or two) of my own.  Something about the simplicity of the card, plus the opportunity to use those 'Make a Wish' dies that have been sitting around really spoke to me.  I was fortunate enough to be the recipient of a RAK from Sue Plote over at This Pink Rooster, who sent me her extra package of Men of Life paper, so I was good to go.  These cards came together really quickly, probably because I didn't change much from Carol's design.

I do not have the woodgrain IP (it's still sitting in my cart), so improvised with a bit of versamark ink and clear embossing powder and a woodgrain stamp I got a while back at Michaels.  Between the two cards, I changed the base cardstock color and mixed up the center gifts.  

One of these cards is headed to my nephew.  The other one will be used soon enough, as we have quite a few fall birthdays in our family.

Here is a picture of the inside of the card:
