Hey everybody, Happy Friday! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Birthstone Challenges and I’m excited to share my DT inspiration project for BSC #8 – Aquamarine & Diamond + optional Birthday! I totally love these colors and have created an adorable pop up birthday card using some awesome stamps and dies from My Favorite Things. The construction of this card is exactly like a diorama card but without an aperture. Super easy!
I cut the card base from CutCardStock Stardream Metallic Aquamarine cardstock along with layering panels from coordinating prints in the Keep It Simple Celebrate The Little Things Collection Pack. Using the My Favorite Things Turntable Die-namics, I cut the pieces from CutCardStock Astrobright Eclipse Black, Stardream Metallic Aquamarine and Stardream Metallic Silver cardstock along with scraps from the Celebrate The Little Things Collection Pack. As I always say, the assembly was the most fun!
I added a music border and music notes (to the front and inside flap) cut from Astrobright Eclipse Black using the CC Designs Music border die and the Paper Smooches Music Notes dies. Front and inside sentiments were stamped from the My Favorite Things Keep On Rockin’ stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Neenah Classic Crest Solar White and layered on scraps of Stardream Metallic Aquamarine. And, of course, this fun card folds flat for mailing!

Love your card and the PP you’ve used is perfect for the design. I have this die and have made something similar for a musical friend of mine. I think yours is a better version that the one I did. I like the sentiment too. A great card for a musical theme and person. Thanks for joining us at MMM, Johanna DT
