Hooray Happy Birthday Noah

Hello friends, thanks so much for stopping by.  I have a very special card to share with you today - it is our Grandsons birthday and he is 4- and this is the card I made him using some Spellbinders Dies.  How adorable are these animals - party animals LOL!

There are lots of layers happening on the lower potion of the card front.  I started with a piece of card stock measuring 30am x 12cm and scored it at 10cm, 20cm, 23cm, 26cm and 28cm.  Next I folded it into mountain and valley folds. A very quick and easy fancy fold card base.

The animals have been created using the following dies:  Die D-Lites Lion, Oh My! Etched Dies, Die D-Lites Tiger, Oh My! Etched Dies, and Die D-Lites Bear, Oh My! Etched Dies.  They are a lot of fun to create and there are so many options with them.

For the layers I have used the Die D-Lites Picket Fence Etched Dies using kraft card stock.  I have cut/embossed two of these and adhered then using double sided tape.  Once I had decided there the animals were going I secured the layered together using Scrapbook Adhesives BY 3L 3D Foam Squares to give dimension and the impression of small hills.

The Clouds and Sun are from the Die D-Lites Sun and Clouds Etched Dies and have been adhered using Scrapbook Adhesives BY 3L E-Z Adhesive Runner Ultra.  The balloons and Banner are also from Die D-Lites ad the sentiment is made up from Shapeabilities Simply Said Phrase Set One Etched Dies and Simply Said Phrase Set Two Etched Dies.

I don't normally decorate inside of cards I create, but....this one was for the grandson so I wanted it to be bright - so I have used some SRM Stickers from my stash.
