Hello, We have a fun and easy topping starting today at Seize the Birthday. Cathy is our hostess and she wants us to use a number on our card and or project. The timing of this challenge could not have worked out more perfectly as I needed a 70th Birthday card for a dear friend’s Surprise Party this weekend.

Now, I didn’t quite think my card through when I decided to use my Silhouette Cameo to cut out the 70, and I just ended up cutting two pieces of white cardstock out and sandwiching them together using scrap paper and the hinge method. It doesn’t look ideal on the inside but he’s a guy and I don’t think he will care. LOL

I knew what I wanted the outside sentiment was going to say so I made that on my computer. Then I took my 4 favorite candle dies from Elizabeth Craft Designs (each one has a different pattern) and decided to cut them all out in white and then have one in red to match the sentiment “One of a Kind.” Next was the gold wicks. Both were a bit time-consuming but totally worth it.

Here is the inside. The sentiments are all from MFT.

Before I go I need to say farewell and a big thanks to Bonnie for being such a wonderful guest at Seize the Birthday the past two months. I have totally enjoyed working with you and of course your wonderful cards. Please stay in touch, I will miss you!

I certainly appreciate you stopping by I hope you will head on over to STB and join us! Take care, Nanc’
