A Busy Birthday Month!

August in my family is very busy for card-making.  I have five birthdays and two anniversaries to celebrate.  My granddaughter, Matilyn, just turned 7.  I wanted to create something fun for her to open:

 From the outside it appears to be a normal card.  I cut numbers 1-7 from the Birthday Celebrations dies and adhered them to my card layer, used Blending Brushes to spread a little Pretty in Pink ink, then embossed over them with an old Stars embossing folder.  The cake came from the now-retired Attention Shoppers, and the greeting is letter cut with the Mini Alphabet dies. 

And inside:

I made a fun-fold, adhering little banners to a strip of paper that is attached at both ends to the inside of the card.  When opened, it pops up:

The Party Banner dies (available in my Online Exclusives store) made great little labels.  

This is such a fun way to celebrate a special day!  

Happy 7th Birthday, Mattie!
