This card was inspired by the cover of Cricut Magazine's special birthday issue. I bought the Sweet Treats cartridge specifically for the candle numbers, but it also has many other cute and fun designs.
Making the card was simple. Using the image guide, I cut out all of the components with the machine set at 5 inches. I scored and folded the back piece so the card would open. I stamped the sentiment on scrap paper and rounded the corners. Lastly, I attached a bow with Glue Dots.
Later this week I will show another version of this card that I made for birthday party invitations.

I really love this. What do you mean you scored and folded the back? How exactly did you do that?
Hi! A score, as it relates to paper, is a shallow depression made in the paper that helps make a nice fold. Do make the score on the five, I placed a ruler about half inch from the top of the back piece and traced a line with the pointy edge of a bone folder. If you do not have a bone folder, you could do it with the blunt end of a similar object. The goal is to make a dent without cutting or piercing the paper. Fold along this line and glue the top portion to the front of the card. Please email me at popperandmimi@gmail.com if you have any other questions!
