I decided to make her a box card, using Silhouette file #57264. This is quite a large card, fitting neatly into a 5" X 7" envelope.
The balloons are not part of the file. I made them with a balloon punch and added them with strips of clear acetate.
On the back I added another balloon and a stamped sentiment, leaving room for a signature and a personal note.
I think Lucy liked her card. She seemed very pleased that it was not the usual kind of card.
Because Lucy's birthday is so close to Thanksgiving--and we were spending the holiday at her house--we were able to personally deliver her card and presents and watch her open them. So much fun!
I hope all my friends and family in the U.S. had a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Thanks so much for stopping by, and remember to laugh--a little or a lot--every day.

Great box card! I still need to make one!
How cool is this to have a card open into a box of balloons. I'm sure your granddaughter loved it.
Oh that's so cool Cheryl! I was trying to figure out how you made your balloons float, I couldn't see the acetate in the first pic. Glad you got to share your granddaughter's birthday :)
Oh, what a fun 'card' this is Cheryl, I LOVE it! It is guaranteed to put a smile on anyone's face, I'm certain the recipient will love it too! Three dimensional projects are an enigma to me, I get into such a mess with them that I never even attempt them now, but I always admire them when I see them and wish that I was able! Thank you for popping by my blog and leaving such a sweet comment, it is much appreciated! Have a very wonderful week my friend! Hazel xx
