Today I thought I would quickly share this card I made for my grandsons 12th birthday back in March. I have quite a large collection of cards that I haven't shared yet and when I saw the topping for the current seize the birthday challenge I realised it was time for this one to see the light.
Whilst I made this card, I can't really claim any credit for the design. I think I found it on pinterest, but have been unable to find it again, so my apologies to the designer. I have used one of Tonic Studios Stamp Club stamp and die sets called shoot for the stars.
I don't have any large number dies so I cut the numbers out of vellum with my scan n cut. It was very pleased to be used, as it mostly sits on my shelf gathering dust!
I followed this tutorial by Sarah Trebilcock to create the pop up element inside the card. She uses butterflies in her example, but it was simple to use stars instead. I die cut loads of stars in blue and yellow card and had fun arranging them on acetate strips so that they jump up when the card is opened.
Seeing the no flowers theme made me realise how the vast majority of my cards have at least one flower on them. I am conscious that I have only been posting my DT cards and my cards for the card chain challenge recently. Just doing that seems to eat up all my available time. As time has gone on I don't seem to have got any quicker and life still seems busy.
Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today, I really appreciate it.

Well it was about time....😉Your card for your grandson is really lovely. Especially for a 12-year-old. All the stars on the inside are a real explosion! Very festive.
WOW! This is such a cool pop up design inside the card. LOVE it ... and I bet your grandson did too! :) So fun! xx
