It's hard to believe that my first great-granddaughter, Laila, will be 7 soon. Time sure does fly! And she already has 2 younger sisters, too!
Every year since Laila was born, I have made her a special card using quilted digi numbers from Beccy's Place. I'm glad I purchased the whole set, because I think they are retired now. This year I've used one of Beccy's digis and also one of her tutorials to create this
Four Fold Card.
I colored the turtle with markers, and then fussy cut. I colored and cut a second head and neck section and then popped the top and glued the bottom to give it some dimension. Before mailing, I will tuck a $5 bill and two $1 bills behind the blue striped section.
The Happy Birthday die is from Die-Version and the stamped sentiment is from Stampendous.
Happy Birthday, Laila!

ReplyDeleteLots of fun opening this birthday card, fun for all ages. Wonderful fold card. So glad you joined us at Die Cut Divas for our “Fold It” challenge this month.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness Debi, seven already?! I can't believe how quickly time has gone by. I remember when Laila was born... and just look at her now!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure she's going to love the card you created for her, it's fabulous. I love the pretty papers, the colours are wonderful, and you did a great job with the fold. Love it!
Cheers,
Beccy
P.S. Good question about why the card is called a "four fold" when it only has three... I didn't even notice!
Great card. Thanks for sharing it with us at 2 Crafty Critter Crazies Janet DT
