I entered Minted.com’s latest challenge, the Happy Happy Birthday Card. I always get nervous entering the challenges. There’s something about throwing my hat in the ring and being judged that is unsettling to me. But, it does feel good to put my design hat on once in a while. Anyway, here are the designs I entered. Click HERE to check out all the designs and vote for your favorites.
I know I’ve done a play on the Keep Calm and Carry On poster before with this free card download, but I couldn’t resist.
This card would be customized to have the number of candles lit to match the age of the recipient. Hopefully a fun way of keeping track of the years and a positive outlook on the years to come.
I love me a garland or banner, but a pennant will also do.



These are all fantastic, Whitney! I absolutely love the one with all the candles – too cute!
Good luck with the contest!
I adore the 2nd one – so original! You shouldnt get nervous, you do great job!

Love your cards, they are all darling!
Though the Keep Calm…has been done a million different ways, I LOVE this card. I had to go over and vote!
Love the cards. Did a double take on the candles card since my name is Melissa and I just turned 43.
Thanks for the download. I know just the Londoner to send it to … the funniest girl and loves paper.
