A 50th Birthday Card

Another family member is turning 50, so a special card was needed!  Since I like foil and glitter, I decided to mix the two, using foil papers and glitter.

To make this card, I used the following:

• Cuttlebug Happy Birthday Embossing Folder
• Cricut Stretch Your Imagination 
• Sizzix Sizzlets (Numbers)
• Tim Holtz Kraft Core - Metallic Collection (Gold, Silver), Metallic Jewels (Black)
• Sookwang Double Sided Tape
• Glitter Ritz Micro-fine Glitter - Pink, Sea Green, Silver, Royal Blue, Poppy Orange, Lilac

To make the card, I embossed the Black Metallic card stock with the Happy Birthday Embossing Folder.  This was then added to the Silver Metallic panel.  Sookwang tape was added to a piece of white card stock.  This was then used to cut the balloons using the image from Stretch Your Imagination.  Two sizes were cut.  (Yep, I still have a Cricut Expression, and I use the cartridges).  The protective layer was removed from the tape, the glitter added and burnished in.  The balloons were added to the black embossed panel.  Using the Gold Metallic paper, the 50's were cut using the Sizzlets.  These were added around the balloons.  The entire panel was added to a card base to complete the card.
