Sister's Birthday!

Yup!  It is another sister's birthday!  My sister, Andrea, had a birthday on August 23rd!  We got together today to celebrate her day and to have a Stampin Up party too!!   What a fun way to spend the day!  I made Andrea a Double Tri - Fold Shutter card.  Instructions to make the Tri - Foldshutter card are found on Splitcoast Stampers resource page here-

For my card- you just make 2 tri- fold shutter cards and join them in the middle.  The real work is in decorating the many layers!  Here are a few pictures of the inside of my card for Andrea. This first picture is the view when you first open the card.

 

 

Then you open the next layer- I put the sentiment here.  You can click on this picture for a closer view!

 

 

 

The view when the card is open completely!  It really was fun making this card!  Lots of space to put pictures and sentiments and flowers!  You name it and you can use it here. 

 

 

 

Here are some shots of our Stampin Up/Birthday party!  This little batty is just one of the projects we worked on at our party!  How cute is that!

 

 

 

 

I made cupcakes for Andrea's birthday!  I used 2 colors for the frosting.  I had frosting everywhere! I love how the colors came out but I need practice, practice in decorating !!!  Something to work on when I retire!!
