Birthday Number 7


 A friend of mine has a grandson who will soon be celebrating his 7th birthday, so I made this card for him using some bright colors and a die-cut number 7. I pulled out some older Nestabilities dies to cut the red and yellow panels and then used a stitched circle die to place the 7 on. I added a few matching mini brads to match. The side panel was done with a SSS hexagon border die that I've had for ages. I die-cut strips of colorful cardstock too and inserted the negatives into the little hexagon holes to add more color and fun. The sentiment was cut twice and layered for a little dimension. I like how it turned out and I hope this little boy likes it too :)

Sliding in by the seat of my pants just before closing to share with 

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you are having a great Tuesday.

Lovely bright card for a young lad - such patience inlaying all those tiny hexagons. You've reminded me that I have that shaped Spellbinders die set, and some others which haven't been used for some time 🙄

I think it's perfect for that age group and a lad, youngsters love colour.

This is such a cute and colorful card. Love those little hexagons, but that must have taken a lot of time and patience. I love the end results of it.
