16th birthday card

Hi Everyone a post of my own at last, as I said yesterday it has been a bit hard for me the last few weeks, but hopefully I am going to follow these words -

Pick yourself up,

Take a deep breath,

Dust yourself off.

And start all over again

Nothing's impossible, I have found

For when my chin is on the ground

I pick myself up, dust myself off

And start all over again

Don't lose your confidence if you slip

Be grateful for a pleasant trip

And pick yourself up, dust yourself off

And start all over again

Work like a soul inspired

Until the battle of the day is won

You may be sick and tired

But you'll be a man, my son

So after all that - my card today is for my Great Nephew in Belgium, it had to be flat to get through the post. I have seen somewhere the concept of "6 teen", which I thought brilliant, but can't remember where I saw it, I had a trial of my new Cuttlebug embossed happy birthday on my desk, so put the 2 together.  Cut it all out on my Cricut, had to add the little inserts in the 6 and e, punched a border added his name - voila, and NO Photoshop can you believe it? well I did do the inside with PS so no withdrawal symptoms after all :)

I used -
Cuttlebug Happy Birthday embossing folder
Double sided Paper by Bo Bunny back to basics
Linen card by Papermill
Border punch by Martha Stewart
Spellbinders Die from the Moroccan Motifs
Ribbon off a jumper!
