Sheep Thrills 70th Birthday

I like lime green and Cyan together as a colour scheme and decided to try a box card for a change. The stamp set + dies are from A.I. mainly, although the little bird is from MFT and the numbers are from a Recollections stamp set and an alphabet die. DSP is from StampinUp and the single balloon is from Spellbinders.

At first I couldn’t remember how to do the box so I followed a tutorial found on Pinterest. As it happened one of the finished cards shown, featured a sheep stamp set by another company, and my card was born. I had been looking for ideas on how to use my new set and the example really helped me with mine. This stamp set from A.I. really amuses me.

As I was working I was thinking about who I should give the resulting card to and I remembered it is my sister’s 70th birthday this year. I figured I would have some fun rubbing in the fact she is 70 as she always has a go at me for being older and this is how the numbers came about. I added some sparkle to the heart, the numbers at the front and on the balloons. Her birthday isn’t for a while but having this ready nice and early is a good thing. It folds flat so I can store it for a while.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope everyone is having a nice weekend.

    1. Thanks. It is fun to be able to poke at her a little bit. She always comments on my being a couple of years older.

  2. Many thanks. After my slight fiasco with the z-fold one I thought I had better make something else along the same lines so I would hopefully remember how to do it in the future.
