This is the card front. I used two digis from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps for the focal points and some die cuts for the accents. One thing that made decorating the card challenges is that I had to make sure things were pretty flat so that it would fold properly. I added lots of faux stitching throughout the whole card to help things look a little more finished.
This is the 2nd "page." I used Echo Park's Times and Seasons collection for the card and used several of their stickers.
For the 3 page, I wrote several memories of his past birthdays. I've blurred out the writing to spare you mushiness.
For the last page, I included more stickers, a digi stamps (top left & bottom right corners) and two proverbs from a box of proverb cards I've had for years. I included a note on each to personalize it a bit more. I also have a block where I wrote my birthday message to him. Again I removed it for you. :) I'm note sure what happened in the picture but the polka dot trim at the top of the journaling block matches what was used on pages 2-3.
Here's a short video of how the card works. Surprisingly, there was no feline assistance.
