Cheers for a Birthday!

This is a quick and easy birthday card for the Martini crowd.  The Cheers to You set is a fun set full of cool beverages.  The Beer/Root Beer mug also fits on this tag.  So does the Margarita (barely), so if you wanted a different look/drink you could make it work.  The triangle patterned paper is from Greenhouse Gala Designer Series Paper.  I used the Bigz XL die Tasteful Trim to get the Crumb Cake border.  I love that it matches the pattern on the paper.  And guess what?  You can use scraps to make these!  If you're cutting down a 8.5x11 sheet of paper to get trimmed-down 1/4 sheets (5.25 x 4), use the 1/2" scraps and cut some triangle trim! There's the fun scrap tip of the day.  Enjoy.
