ANOTHER PERSONALIZED BIRTHDAY CARD



Recently I had an order for three birthday cards.  I was given some things the parties were interested in.  This card was for a retired teacher who also loves the Iowa Hawkeyes.  One of our granddaughters had attended Iowa and I still had some black and gold papers from that time.

I had dies for numbers with a "candle" on the top of them so I thought I would try to make the front of the card look like a layered cake.  

The card base measures 6 1/2" x 5" when folded.  It is from a package of card bases & envelopes sold by Michael's.  They are a little light weight and when the outside is layered, it helps give the inside stability by adding some layers inside as well.  I punched some balloons and added them to layers that I inserted to make the inside a little more decorative.  

Thank you for coming by today!

Great idea for a personalized card! I knew immediately that was a layered birthday cake, so you definitely achieved the look you were going for. The recipient is going to love it!

Two more cards using the "All About Autumn" retired dsp. Thank you for coming by today!
