As my school friends (and I) were turning 40 all in the same year, I wanted to make them each a special birthday card for the occasion, using a different type of card design for each one. I had made an exploding boxcard before and used the same template for this one.
You can use a different design on each of the four sides but I decided the card would look more professional with the same design on each so I used a diamond-patterned paper in what I thought was a nice range of colours – primarily reds, purples and pinks with some other shades too. The base of the card was a purple and white polka dot design, again from a patterned paper, which worked well with the diamond design.
My pop-up elements of this card were a ‘Happy birthday’ die
cut, a glittery ‘40’ sticker and a small die cut sentiment saying ‘Life begins
at 40!’ mounted onto a small piece of card cut with pinking scissors. I
actually bought that in a small pack from Ebay but it’s quite easy to make your
own – if you have the time!
