Tall (or Long) Birthday Card

I have a birthday card to share today. Celebrate the Occasion's challenge for this week (Challenge #30) is to create a tall birthday card (or in this case, since I rotated it, a long card) that includes a present. The background paper is from my stash (I picked it up in a variety package at Big Lots and have no idea who it is from). It has a great glittery polka dot pattern (I have a feeling it is DCWV). I added a ribbon from Michael's. This is actually the backside of the ribbon. The front has some sparkly rhinestones on it, which I don't care for. On the dark orange squares, I used the Swiss Dots embossing folder. On the lighter orange squares, I used the Spots & Dots embossing folder. The birthday presents are all from a file by Sam & Hailey Designs (Itty Bitty Presents). They received some pen stitching, Stickles and various gems adhered with my i-rock. I attached all three gifts with foam squares for added dimension.









Thanks for stopping by!
