Hey there! Here's the third birthday card for Ava! yay!

Part of her gift is a subscription to Stampin' Up!'s monthly papercrafting kit, My Paper Pumpkin!

Once a month Ava will receive a box similar to this in the mail. Inside is a kit to make cards, 3-D, or scrapbooking projects, including stamps, ink, adhesive, prepped supplies and instructions.

This card explained that while she wasn't receiving this gift immediately, it would begin arriving in just a few weeks! I used an exclusive stamp set from convention:

I used Whisper White, Pool Party, and Calypso Coral.

I used the "Cinderella's carriage" image, stamping with Pool Party ink with a Calypso Coral center.

I stamped phrases with Memento Tuxedo Black, embossed with the Modern Mosaic folder, and added a Vintage Faceted Button with a new Iced Rhinestone (upcoming Holiday Catalog!) in the center for the "wheel".
