Happy 80th

Hi Crafty Friends,

It's challenge time with my friends over on the CCEE Stampers challenge blog. As challenge hostess for the month, I continue to issue the challenges.

Number It .... Include a number or numbers on your creations this week. You can make an aged birthday card; number themed designer paper, number themed embossing folders or dies. Anything goes as long as there is a number somewhere!

Originally I had planned on creating an Advent calendar for this challenge, but then a friend asked me if I would make her two 80th birthday cards for her. As I hadn't made my card for this challenge, it was the perfect opportunity to use one for this challenge.

As you can see I created a pop-up card. I used Crafter's Companion Pop-Out Numbers die set to create the "80" for the pop up. After die cutting the pop-out numbers directly into the inside of the card, I then die cut on another color of card which had clear double sided adhesive tape on the front, I then covered  the adhesive with Warm Diamond Silk Microfine Glitter.

I used floral patterned papers to decorate the top and bottom edges of the card, using border dies from Spellbinders. I also used a scallop border from the same die set to add the scallop border to the paper.

I added the stamped sentiment using an old Simon Says Stamp/Reverse Confetti STAMPtember Celebrate Your Day stamp set.

For the front of the card I used Karen Burniston's Happy Birthday die which I layered using Hero Arts Infinity Oval die set.
