Happy Birthday Kara Blog Hop

Today is Kara's birthday and her friends are surprising her with a blog hop in her honor.  Kara is one of the absolute best card makers I know and I was a little intimidated to make her a card, but I used some of the elements that I have seen Kara use before and hope she likes it.

I have seen Kara use Papertrey Ink's Mat Stack #3 many times, so I am assuming she likes it and I know she likes WPlus9 stamps, so I used their stamp set, Fresh Picked for my focal point.  I added a few chevron dies and one of the cute WPlus9 sweet sentiments.  I hope you have a fabulous birthday Kara, you are an inspiration to so many of us.  Happy Birthday!
Here are links to Kara's other friends who have made her a birthday card.

Hi Cathy! I love the red white and blue - those berries look yummy perfectly framed! The chevrons really caught my eye (spaced perfectly)....cool idea to use the Mat Stack for Kara!

Cathy, this is such a beautiful card and like Joyce's I love how you choose to use patriotic colors. Your berries are so yummy looking and I love your chevron dies in the background. Just so sweet.

This is a beautiful card. I love how we were on the same page with our colors and our Mat Stack #3 die. Your strawberry focal point is just so sweet, and I love how you used so many different patterns from the pattern packs. Awesome chevrons, too.
