Today’s share is the 70th Birthday card I made for my mom last month. I had just gotten my Occasions catalog preorder and fell in love with the Painted With Love Specialty Designer Series Paper and wanted to break it in. As a demonstrator we get the opportunity to order and play with items from the Occasions Catalog that will be going live on January 3rd. Yay! This design is what I call a Double-W Fold (Correction – Triple-W Fold) card. It is an extended size card — 3-1/4″ tall x 22″ wide.
As it was her 70th birthday I wanted to give her 70 candles and remembered the set of candles die in the Window Box Thinlits Die Set. I set out die cutting candles and was able to fit 35 candles onto each Melon Mambo band. Woohoo! Yes……I eyeballed the candles. They are in groups of 5 so that made it not too difficult. (wink, wink) To add more color and shine I filled in the empty spaces (folds) with 1″ Painted With Love SDSP strips.
Here is a close up of the inside letters. They were cut from both Gold Foil and Glimmer. The Glimmer adds just a touch of sparkle. Who doesn’t need more sparkle to go with their shine. (giggle)
Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you have a great day!

Thank you Bernath!
This card is so beautiful! I would love to make one for a 98 year old great grandmother. Do you have any tips or measurements that you would be willing to share? Thanks so much!
Thank you very much Patricia!
It is two pieces of 3-1/4″ x 11″ connected in the middle by the DSP strip.
