50th birthday pop up card

I made this birthday card for my sister as her birthday is next month. I made this somewhat quick card using the new Elizabeth Design Die I won at the Stamp Expo earlier this month. I just got around to using it.
The die set comes with a lot of pieces, well worth it if you happen to pick it up.

This is the cover of the card, I used some scraps I had and they all worked well. The Happy Birthday collage is a very old stamp set. (no name)

Textured football card

Went to a fabulous 50th birthday party last night and here is the card I made as Kevin is a Patriots fan.

I started out by cutting a football out of printer paper and cutting it in 2 pieces.
Traced it on brown Bazzil card stock and ran it through Bubbles Cuttlebug embossing folder.
On each football piece I used my Crop-a-dial and punched holes with my Crop-a-dial and laced it with 1/8" ribbon.
