Now, don't confuse generic with plain. These dies pack a punch! There are many different looks that can be achieved with a generic pop-up die set.
This time I went for simple. I used primarily Karen Burniston dies. Two current ones (Katherine Label Pop-up & Spinner Square Pop-up ), and one that was retired (Whiskers the Cat). The only other die I used was an oval.
I started with a 4 1/2" x 4 1/2" card base. The paper was a black and white print that I added some color to using colored pencils, and I inked a border around it using a black marker. The speech bubble was from the Spinner Square Pop-up set, and then there's Whiskers the Cat! She's so cute!
On the inside, more generic black & white paper. I used various labels from the Katherine Label Pop-up as well as the mechanism. The flowers & leaves I fussy cut from leftover paper from the front of the card. The Mouse was from Whiskers the Cat die set. The texts were computer generated, except for the happy birthday. That was from an Art Impressions stamp set called "Chocolate therapy."
Over-all I am pleased with this card. It was simple to make, but the color pallet gives it some punch!
Just goes to show you.....simple can still be nice!

Love your card. I need to challenge myself to use all my dies too. Karen's dies are fantastic!
