Hello and welcome back! Today's card is for a friend who is celebrating her 85th birthday today!
I used the sketch from Sunday Stamps for the design.
I had originally planned to put the "85" element on the card front, but I wasn't sure if she wanted to advertise her age, so I swapped it out for the birthday cake, which was colored with Stampin' Blends. Not wanting to waste that first element, I opted to put it inside and make it a pop-up, using the tutorial from Vy Tran. (I used this tutorial to create some cards last week too.) I had to tweak it a bit to get it to fit, but it worked perfectly!
I hand delivered the card today and Mary was very impressed!
Thanks for stopping by, and happy stamping!
