I love making handmade cards for birthdays and celebrations , 

and this one was very special to me, 

as we recently Celebrated our daughter's 40th Birthday .

 Today I am sharing this easel  card I created for our Daughters 40^th Birthday. Tara loves denim blue and white, so it was very easy to gather some beautiful papers that co-ordinate.  I decided to use 'Jeans' – from the Walking in the Forest collection as my base combined with White cardstock . to begin I folded my card in white Bazzill . I then  cut my base  6 x 6 in 'Jeans',  for the  stacked elements . I always create my cover separately , stack my elements and then adhere it to my white bazzill. One of my faves is to add stitching and make it arty by stitching slightly crooked lines and using alternative colored cotton.

NESTABILITIES DIECUTS

a different perspective - top view .

I adore these stacked elements as it is a great way to use up scraps and also the dimension it gives is quite intriguing .

I notice when I give a stacked elements card the receiver always holds it up and looks in-between the layers. Makes me smile .

 You can use any type of diecut you desire and there is a beautiful selection of papers to blend and co-ordinate . 

These are the word I wrote inside the card ....As you walk through life keep Ten friends by your side .

Truth, Courage , Tenderness, Curiosity, Loyalty, Understanding, laughter, Friendship, Trust and Love.

Always believe in yourself and your dreams . happy birthday Tardy, to our wonderful precious Daughter. We love you to the moon and back . Congrats on reaching 40 years and may you have 40 more fabulous years here on earth , doing what you love .
 Lots of love and hugz .. Mum and Dad xoxox
