I recently had a request for a special card for a friend’s sister who was turning 70. I decided to make another tri-fold card as it was a special birthday. Warning….this is a photo heavy post! LOL!
I used several images from Stamping Bella from their Squidgy line, Chatty Squidgy (isn’t she adorable), Huggy Squidgies (want a hug?), and The Squidgy Who Couldn’t (that’s me sometimes!). They are such cute images!
Using my Copic markers, I colored all three images and then used the matching dies to cut them out. I used the die from another set to cut the speech bubble for the front of my card. The paper on the card is digital paper from Whimsy Stamps.
A peek at all of the panels of the card…
The sentiment on the second panel is computer generated. The inside sentiment was created using several different dies. I printed out a sheet of “70” and then used a mini punch to punch them out. I added them to the inside panel around my image. And of course, I added some Nuvo Purple Rain Glitter Drops to the front of the card.
I hope you enjoyed this card as much as I did in creating it! Thanks for stopping by!
Happy Crafting!

This is fab. Love the fun feel. The colours make me think of the poem Warning by Jenny Joseph:
‘WHEN I AM AN OLD WOMAN I SHALL WEAR PURPLE
With a red hat which doesn’t go, and doesn’t suit me.
And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves
And satin sandals, and say we’ve no money for butter…’

I have every intention of being a batty, independent, strong willed old b***h!
I had a fabulous lady live where I work who was totally herself. She was 70, spoke about herself in the third person, wore continence pads, and had a think for sexy lingerie. Nobody who heard of it will ever forget the day she was in Primark with a carer who was trying to encourage her to buy a practical pair of knickers which would fit a continence pad, someone who worked there offered to help find her size and she threw a pair of knickers at the poor lady’s head shouting ‘she’s not wearing granny pants’
