Happy Birthday #3

Birthday card number 3. Although a girly girl, I wanted to make something a little different for Sophia as she's a little "Crafter" in the making :) I created this simple, fun design which I hope she will love.

I used cream cardstock to create the base card, folded in half and then die cut my window.
TIP: If like me you want to create a window with an embossed background, make sure you die cut your window first! Otherwise as you feed your card back into your die-cutting machine, it will flatten your embossing.
The co-ordinating envelope using the same Waltzing Mouse "Bitty Banners/Victorian Alphabet" stamps.

Recipe:Waltzing Mouse "Bitty Banners/Victorian Alphabet" stamps, Tim Holtz Distress Ink-Tattered Rose/Worn Lipstick, Memento-Rich Cocoa Ink, Cream/Pink Cardstock, Adhesive Gems, White Satin Ribbon.
Tools: Sizzix Dotty Embossing Folder, Circle Nestabilities. 

Have you enjoyed seeing more cards on my blog this week? I sure have enjoyed making them! I have a list of 7 more occassions I need to create for, so I guess you'll be seeing a few more next week.

Til then, have a great weekend.

Great card! Thanks for the tip about the die cutting/embossing. I make that mistake everytime and think 'mustn't do that again', but then forget... Maybe I have read it now I will remember!
