Here is a card I made for our son-in-law, who says he's just doesn't want us to celebrate his birthday because it's "Just Another Day"; but mother and father in law are not listening. After all... each year we celebrate his birthday, it's another birthday together. Now, how is a non-celebration birthday card created and still be celebrated. This is how it was accomplished... while putting a new stamp in my inventory the sentiment on CTMH Cape Code-Cardmaking stamp was my inspiration to create the front of the card but use the sentiment for the inside.
Thus... created a belated birthday card I thought our son-in-law would appreciate using his phrase as the sentiment and three different vendor dies using the plaid from "Celebrating You" CTMH paperpack for the birth date. The birth date die cuts were adhered to the background on a coordinating paper from same packet, bordered with Lemon cardstock and adhered with 3D thin foam tape for dimension. The sentiment was typed on Word, printed, edged with Lagoon, bordered with Lemon cardstock and adhered to card with 3D thin foam tape.
The sentiment that was my inspiration was used for the inside of the card... The "But & Another Number" sentiment was also typed on Word, printed, cut and adhered direct inside card base. The "happy 55" was die cut using same background paper with a second set in Lemon cardstock as a shadow and finished off with the plaid border. Yes... this satisfied the mother and father in-law's instinct to still celebrate birthdays.

This is so FUN, Suzanne, and great use of numbers! I have such a hard time with that, but your outside and inside sentiments are good for a chuckle, too, lol. Beautiful plaid paper as well! Thanks so much for playing at Make My Monday!
What a clever and creative solution! I love your colors, your composition, and the fantastic sentiment!
Thanks for the perfect submission to our challenge at Shopping Our Stash!
