Happy 7th Birthday

A birthday card for two challenges at ColourQ and CAS-ual Fridays.
I am also entering this at A Passion for Papertrey ~ "take your pick."
It's the third birthday party my son is going to this month,
good thing I am making the cards instead of buying them ;) ~ just kidding!
For what I paid for the four die sets I used, I could bought a lot of cards!
Of course, I didn't buy the dies just for this card ~ good thing;).

  9. Super cool card, Jean! And your comment made me laugh out loud. How many times are we crafters told that we must be saving a lot of money by making our own cards, hehehe. If they only knew...
    Thanks so much for playing with us this week at CAS-ual Fridays!

  14. This is a super fun birthday card design! I struggle with kid birthday cards, and this one is perfect! I will definitely be adding this to my card ideas folder. Thanks so much for playing with us at CAS-ual Fridays! We're so glad you did!

  15. Wow! What fun!!! The colors are wonderful and that's the cutest idea for using the numbers! LOVE!!! And I think I'll CASE it with a bunch of different numbers from my Cricut for my Operation Write Home cards. By switching out the colors, it could work just as well for boys as girls.

    LOL about making your own cards. I remember all too well those famous last words when I told my husband that cards had gotten so expensive, I was going to save money by making my own.

    Well, it seemed like a great budget idea at the time!
