One of my granddaughters turned 20 years old this month, and this is the card I made for her:
The floral cardstock had lots of glitter on it, so it was perfect for a young lady's birthday. I had just a small portion of a 12" X 12" sheet left--just enough for this card.
The word "Spectacular" was heat-embossed onto the green panel, which was popped up on foam tape.
Of course, I had to add a few pink gems. Every birthday girl deserves some extra sparkle on her card!
This is how the card looks when opened. It's a great design if you want to display it. It's called a Concertina Card, and you can find a tutorial on how to make it here.
When we joined our granddaughter and her family to celebrate her birthday, she was sporting some pretty pink hair! Perfectly coordinated with her card. lol
I've always told my daughters--and now my granddaughters--if they want to express their individuality, they should do it with their hair. It's easy to change your whole look with a different hair color or style, and it doesn't last forever. When your preferences change, your hair can change with them.
There is a lady, close to my age, who attends our church. She often colors her hair in pastel colors, like pink and purple. I often compliment her and champion her sense of fun and freedom to express her individual style!
Thanks so much for stopping by, and remember to laugh--a little or a lot--every day.

Wow! What looks like a regular card opens up into something very spectacular. Sparkly pink is perfect for a girl. I'm sure your granddaughter was very impressed.
What a very pretty birthday card for granddaughter. Pink card - pink hair. Very special.
