Birthdays are always fun! They're are even more fun when everyone can get together. My daughter's birthday and my mom's birthday are one day apart, so we tend to celebrate them at the same time.
I made this card for Lauren. I sent it to her in Wichita, because we didn't get together until a week after her birthday. So I thought a paper hug would be fun!
I'm calling this card design a Z Fold Window Pass Thru card. The Z fold part of the card is pulled through the opening of the base card. I like making cards that are a little different from the standard fold.
I think this mouse kind of looks like he's opening his arms for a hug. The mice are simply colored with copics and a couple of Staedtler Fine Liners for the little details like eyes, noses and glasses.
I've got a video below on making a Z Fold Window Pass Thru Card. It's not hard at all!
Thank you for stopping by!
