A reason to celebrate

A birthday is certainly a good reason to celebrate but even more so when I manage to make a card to send to someone for their birthday.

I finally got around to making this card from Awesome SVGs Not only does he provide the free SVG and PNG files to make the card but he has a video showing you exactly how to put it together.

Either I cut the outer card wrong or didn't line it up well but it's good enough. I think I may need to work on my coloring skills as well. The Cricut machine draws the outline of the cake and candles and then you need to color it in.

Here's the inside of the card. Let me tell you, the folding for this one was a real pain in the butt.

A better look at the inside so you can see how the cake pops up.

After taking the above pictures and before stuffing this in the envelope to mail, I decided to add a little stamping to the front of it.

I would make this card again, even though there is quite a bit involved in it. Maybe with some practice folding all the score lines would be easier.
