TodayÂ’s Ways to Use It Challenge gave me the perfect opportunity to use an idea for numbers dies that I had in the back of mind. After I die cut all the numbers into the dk orange layer, I added a lt blue layer behind it so the cutouts would show. I attached most of the cutout numbers on top & a plaid layer behind the other two layers.
It probably took me longer to find the perfect 3 greetings to put together for the little star in the upper left than anything. I put them into my Misti, one at a time then inked the part I wanted w/ a black Tombow marker then repeated since I usually donÂ’t get that a great an image the first time when using a marker instead of ink. The rest of the greeting was curved (itÂ’s a clear stamp, so pretty easy to do) & I used a Double Stitched Circle die to cut the curvy shape around it.
Thanks so much for looking! Closeups & the inside are on my blog: The Write Stuff

Awesome card!! I was freaking out when I saw the sentiment and wondered where in the heck did you get that? Then I read your description.....ahhhh, yes!! I sooooo appreciate all that you go through in the process of creating your cards and especially that you share your secrets with everyone....you ROCK!!!!
Really fun card! Love the bright colors! I have started counting backwards for my age. By the time my son graduates I'll be 30 again. Who knows, if I have grandchildren, I may very well be a teenager!
