It's sweet Kara's birthday today and we are celebrating with a little hop! Kara is known for her innovative, creative designs, and she can really rock a CAS card. I tried to make a card suiting Kara with some die cuts....and now I see why CAS cards are HARD, lol!
I first cut with a heart die and then placed it on white paper, then cut around it with the balloon die from PTI's Birthday Style dies.
I wanted it to look like it was floating up right from PTI's Wonderful Words: Hello, so made one of the letters sparkly red to match! Tried to artfully place gems like confetti, but alas...I am not even sure if I did that all "modern" and "correctly" heeeee :)
But Kara...despite my funny card, I hope you have a wonderful day!!! Please stop by JOYCE'S blog (our birthday moderator!!) for a full list of the birthday blog hoppers today :)XO

Fantastic card for Kara, you did a great job with your CAS card Kelly, love the glitter heart and Kara will too.
Wow. This is one of my all time favorite Kelly cards! It could not be any happier! I love that idea for the balloon wrapped around the red e from hello. All those little sparkly gems are grouped together perfectly. Kara is going to love this!
OK, this card is going in my files! Yes, it looks like the ballon/heart is floating, and yes, it screams, 'Celebrate'! Just the PERFECT BD card!

How clever to tie the balloon to the "e" and to have it in a matching color too! Now that's good design, Kelly. What a wonderful card for Kara!
What a great card for Kara. I love the shimmer on the balloon and the e!
Very cool... love the idea of mixing up one of the letters.
Oh WOW! What a stunning card! I can't decide which element I like the best - everything about this card from the sparkles to the red on white to the simple sentiment just makes me happy!
