Today’s Happy Birthday card was CASE’d from a creation I shared back in March of 2016 that you can find in my gallery! It uses the same layout and similar colors but incorporates current products: Best Year and Wild Roses Stamp Sets. 
“Copy” means “allow yourself to be influenced by” another paper crafter’s projects. CASE-ing is a great way to be inspired! Focus on an aspect of a creation (sketch, colors, images) that you absolutely love and use it to make something of your own.
This card was created back when Blackberry Bliss was a retiring 2014-2016 In Color! It was voted as the ‘most likely to be missed’ color during one of my Stampin’ Pretty Reader’s Polls! I am so glad that Blackberry Bliss (and Mossy Meadow) are now part of Stampin’ Up!’s core color collection.

Oh, my!
Having been involved with SU for less than a year, I thoroughly enjoyed the little history lesson about Blackberry Bliss–a color which I love!
…and your walk down memory lane…
Your anniversary card from 2019 IS “drop-dead gorgeous”! It seemed a bit appropriate that those were exactly what words popped into my head when I first saw it–before I read your words describing it. So it must be! So it IS!! Haha!
Maybe it’ll work with the Bloom Hybrid folder? (Without the die…)
It would look amazing with the bloom folder, give it a shot! Thank you for your kind words.
