Mandala Concertina Birthday

Hi Crafty Friends

For my card today I am taking a break from Christmas cards to make a birthday card using two of the new dies that were released this month ... Mandala Layering Combo and Concertina Card with Layers die sets.

I die cut the layers for the Mandala using cardstock close to the colors included in the pattern paper on the front of the card which is Beautiful Blooms Slimline Paper Pad. 

I used the A2 Landscape Card Base with Layer and Matting Rectangles to create the layers and folded card base for the card.

I added a birthday sentiment using the Celebration Words die set which is layered using a die from Sentiment Strips with Layers die set.

For the inside of the card, I created a Concertina Card using the new Concertina Card with layers die set.

I added letters and numbers using the Long & Lean Alphabet and Long & Lean Numbers die sets to add the sentiment to the concertina part of the card ... HB2U (Happy Birthday To You).
