We recently celebrated my niece's 21st birthday, so that called for something special and a little bit fancy. I used the Birthday Bouquet suite of products to create this birthday card-in-a-box...

... and a matching gift bag, in the same style as the Birthday Bouquet Gift Bag I created earlier this year...

Bundles: Number of Years Stamp Set + Large Numbers Framelits Dies (140811), Party with Cake Stamp Set + Party Popup Thinlits Dies (wood: 140815, clear: 140814).

The Number of Years stamp set and coordinating Large Numbers Framelits Dies were used to create a gorgeous, big "21" for this milestone birthday.

I am really pleased to tell you that the new 2016-2017 Annual Catalogue (released on 1 June 2016) will have the Number of Years stamp set and Large Numbers Framelits in it, however the bundle is not carrying over. If you would like to get the coordinating pair of products at a discount, then you will need to place your order before 31 May.

Number of Years Stamp Set + Large Numbers Framelits Dies Bundle (140811) - $103.75

Both the card and gift box are finished with some glamour and glitz courtesy of the beautiful Pool Party 3/8" Glitter Ribbon, which is on the Retiring List. The gift box has the top secured with the glitter ribbon, but presence of this ribbon on the card is a little more subtle. I took a length of the Pool Party Glitter Ribbon, trimmed down the side and then pulled off long strands. I used these threads underneath the "birthday" banner on the front of the card...
