I think you are going to really love this set!  I used CardPatterns sketch #126 to help me with the design of my card.  Here is what I created!

"Happy Birthday" supplies:
Cardstock: Bazzill Basics (orange) & Papertrey Ink (vintage cream) 

Paper/Jewels: Glitz Design (Afternoon Muse: floral, banner) & GCD Studios (Funhouse: Come One, Come Al)

Stamps/Dies: WPlus9

Ink: Clearsnap (Pigment: mango tango, old rose, canary, moss green) & Close To My Heart (vanilla cream) 

Ribbon: Michael's brand

Border Die: Papertrey Ink (tickets)

Diecut Machine: Cuttlebug by Provo Craft

Sandpaper

Instructions:  Make card from orange cardstock.  Sand the edges of a slightly smaller floral paper block, and adhere to the front.  Sand the edges of a pink paper strip, and adhere to the middle.  Diecut ticket patterned paper, sand the edges, and adhere at an angle below the pink paper.  Trim off the excess edges, and sand the cut edges.  Diecut the scalloped oval from vintage cream cardstock, and stamp the border & sentiment to it.  Adhere the scalloped oval to the top of the card.  Diecut the circus characters from patterned paper, and then stamp the images to them.  Adhere to the right side of the scalloped oval.  Tie a bow from orange dotted ribbon, and adhere below the circus characters.  Accent the middle of the bow with a large pink jewels, and underneath the sentiment with three clear jewels to finish.
