CAS(E) this Sketch #231 - happy birthday & Japanese Mini Cards

I had only a few Japanese sentiment stamps, so when I went back to Tokyo this spring, I bought some. I love the brush font of the stamps! They're pretty small, so I made a set of "mini cards" earlier this week.



 congratulations


 thank you


 thank you for your hard work


 just a token of my appreciation


Then, when I saw the new sketch of CAS(E) this Sketch #231 on Thursday, I was a little surprised. Did I foresee the future? 😉

Here's N@ Ali's sketch:


I basically used the same elements I used in making the mini-cards, and turned the square 90 degrees. I literally copied the sketch! It's very simple and easy to make.


The tiny birthday cake die-cut is so cute!
