Happy Birthday! Slovak Style

My Grandmother is pretty fluent in Slovak (Her family is from Czechoslovakia), so I thought it would be cool to make her a card in Slovak! It sounded like a great idea, until I googled "Happy Birthday in Slovak" and learned how LOOOONG it is!




The card is 5.75x4.5 inches.
Vsetko k najlepsie narodeninam height is .65 in Mickey Font

In order to get the circle, I combined a circle and a square the size of the card, and cut it out that way

I got a Crop-A-Dile last year for Christmas, and it came with all different kinds of eyelets, so I felt it was time to put those to use!

I am REALLY bad at keeping the little dots for the I's (and !, j's, .'s, ?'s), so I use my Jolee's Jewels and stick a jewel in its place!



HAPPY BIRTHDAY is .80 inches high
That's in Slovak! is .65 inches high

In order to get the apostrophe in "that's" I took the quotation mark and applied the hide contour feature on my Gypsy, and welded it to the letters.
