Wowie! Sounds like a a whole lot of fun to me!  We have so much to show you this month too! It's out Biggest Release Ever, with 17 new Stamps and stamp sets plus 7 new dies and die sets, so we just had to extend our Birthday Bash to 5 full days of inspiration! Yay! 8-) 
Well first up I am sharing one of our Brand New Bleated Birtdhay ALC's "Elephants Never Forget", Concepted by our Very own Super Talented Jami Sibley and designed by the Fabulous Doug Applegate for his Apple Doodle Ink stamp line.
OMGosh, I just Adore these SweetALC's! What aTerrific idea! I can't even begin to to tell you how many times I have missed a Birthday and had to dash out and, GASP,  Buy a belated style Birthday card cause I really didn't have anything I could use to make one myself.. Well, that issue has definitely been resolved, lol... Isn't He just the Sweetest little Elephant! Just makes me smile! 8-)  I stamped him with Memento Tuxedo Black and colored him up with my trusty Copics. All my mats and BG layers are a combination of Choice Buttercream CS and Simple Stories Darling Happy Day 6x6 dp's. To finish it all up I stamped my exterior sentiment onto a little hand cut layered banner and added a fun border with a bit of ribbon and our brand new Curly Border Die a well.. 8-) 
Here's a shot of the inside of my card and the fun interior sentiment that comes with the set! So Cute and Clever, Don't ya think! 8-) 

And here are all the Belated Birthday ALC's for you to see... Aren't they So Fun and Sweet! 8-).. And you will be able to get one FREE with a  $50 purchase through Monday 9/10 - details will be posted on the current specials page..
Next up I am sharing a fun card I created from our Brand New You Take the Cake Set. And I am Soo Excited to share that this is our First Ever Sampler Set showcasing the designs of All our Awesome Illustrators.  Also this set will Not be available for sale until after the October release, for now it will be FREE with any purchase of $150 or more...
I had a lot of Fun with this Darling set! It gives you Sooo many options and it can be so easily Taylored for Masculine or Feminine, CAS or Fancy Shmancy, lol! 8-) I stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black and did a little masking and fussy cut my Sweet presents and Birthday cake out. I popped them up with a bit of foam tape onto a Frame it up 1Die cut that I ran through my CB using the Scallops & Circles Impression Plate. My Mats an BG layers were created with some Kraft CS, The Brand New Graphic Greetings Birthday ALC, Versamark ink, white EP and various dp's from Echo Park's Fabulous 6x6 Everyday Eclectic collection. To finish it all up I stamped my sentiment onto a Fly Your Flag 2 Die cut, added a couple of  Fun borders with the Brand New Curly Border Die and a topped it off with a Sweet little bow, made with my Bow Easy.
