Hi all! How has your week been going so far? Mine has been rushing past! Still getting ready for CHA, the Craft and Hobby Show in Chicago. I leave on Sunday and there’s so much to do before then!
I thought I’d take a minute to show you a card I made a while back for a sweet girl who turned 16 — Divya! She liked the card. :)
I used my Silhouette to cut the card out — that’s what made the “birthday” on the front. And the neatest thing? There’s a cake that pops up inside:
Then I used the Silhouette again to cut out the “16” for the inside — it uses any font that you have on your computer.
Supplies: Curly Flower stamp by Hero Arts, patterned paper Doodlebug, I think. I put glitter glue on the flowers. I don’t know if you can tell, but the patterned paper has a neat sheen to it. I even used some to line the envelope with. I colored the flowers with pencils.
And! An update on the pillowcase skirt — I didn’t have a chance to make it this weekend, but I hope to do it soon because I want to wear it to CHA! I’ll post pics if/when I get it done. :)
Have a sweet day,
ohh i LOVE that cutout you made of the bday cake so very cute!! awww i wish the CHA was over the weekend b/c i’ll be in chicago then!!
Love those stripes and the lined envelope is a FAB touch!
Oh I love the pop up bit!! Wish I had a silhouette too…
Lisa,
You are awesome!!! I thought the card was just too cool and now after seeing your blog post about it, I think the pictures you took of the card ( with the reflection) are cooler :-) Divya is away, so am replying for her in conveying her thanks for the cute cards you made for her. The card is going into the scrapbook the younger two made for their older sister.
What a great card Lisa…I really want a silhouette! Can’t wait to see your skirt!
what a cute card!
Wow! What a Sweet 16th card! So inspiring! LOVE the colors and details …that pop-up cake is “out of this world”!
Oh my gosh, super sweet! Love what you did with the flowers and the cake is fabulous! I’m sure she loved your card!

I have that popup design, but I haven’t used it yet. Thanks for the reminder. This card is so lovely! The 16 on the inside makes it even more special.
