{Paper Smooches} Happy 4th Birthday


Kim is sharing this card on the Paper Smooches Blog today. It features stamps from the  newly-released Digits stamp set. I made this girlie card for my niece who recently turned four. To create the window that features the popped-up '4th', I die cut the Duo Dies 3 frame from patterned paper twice and stamped 'Happy Birthday' which I masked off in two parts. I stamped the '4' and 'th' on cardstock, fussy cut them as one piece and slightly sponged the edges. Before securing the frame and featured digit to the base, I ruffled some crocheted trim and adhered it to the frame. All of the patterned paper is from Crate Paper's Fourteen paper pad.


Thanks for stopping by!

Such a sweet card for your niece, Em! That frame is perfect. And of course I appreciate you using a "Fourteen" paper pad for a "four" birthday. :P
