Ina has chosen 'celebrate' for Word Week at
Just Us Girls. That leaves it wide open to interpretation and we hope you'll be inspired to make a card for this week's challenge.
I took advantage of the Concord and 9th birthday sale and ordered their Birthday Stacks stamps and dies. I couldn't wait to play with them once they arrived.
There is everything you need to make a keepsake card in the set and this is the first one I did. The candles are colored with Zigs and I backed the celebrate die with a black shadow so it would show up better. The nice thing about this is it folds down to fit in an A2 envelope.
All the measurements and instructions are on the C9 website. Once I knew what I was doing I had to make a second card for my great-granddaughter who will be three on the 15th.
I thought she'd like the pinks and purples with a little green and aqua added. I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment from Clearly Besotted on the back. Here's another look at how it folds.
Enough from me. Now it's time for you to see what the rest of Design Team and our guest designer
Julie Beech have made and then make a card of your own for the challenge. If you are our Chic of the Week you may be our guest designer in November.

Very cool! I love that row of candles and the way you shadowed the sentiment die with the black. Your second card is fabulous, too and such a fun card for your 3 year old great-granddaughter (I can't believe you are really a great-grandmother)!
That looks like a very useful purchase Bobby. Love the shadow you created, it really works.
Thanks for inviting me to guest this month. :)
These are terrific Bobby! I can see why you were excited to receive these in the mail and get to work. I REALLY love the top of the cards. Such a fun and unique design. The second card stole the show for me! Love the colors and the soft palette! Have a great day and see you very soon! So excited!!!!
SUPER FUN gate/pop up cards!

Ahhh Bobby do you have to show us what we need to buy all the time. Fabulous cards, such a cool design love them both.
Love this super folding birthday card Bobby. Lots of colour and I think I will need a few more candle than what you have here LOL. Lovely colours on your Great granddaughter's card - so pretty. Thanks for showing us how it folds.

Oh, now these are FUN! I like the colors on both of them. But I think the one for your great-granddaughter is my favorite!
