Our youngest grandson will be turning 7 this year and it was a great opportunity to create his card a little earlier than planned.
Birthday Bash
I haven't made a "squash fold" card in quite a while but it's such a fun fold and I know that our grandson, Jack, will love how it opens. The sentiment is cut three times. Once from patterned paper and then matted with two layers of white bazzill for dimension. The birthday ribbon has been in my stash forever and was a perfect match to the papers I used.
I included his name on one of the inside fold sections so it pops up when the card is opened.
This is a photo of the card fully opened. We'll use the lower left fold to personalize it.

Wow, so creatively awesome and how perfect you can use it for your grandson!! What a cleverly fun design too and what fun, bright and happy papers you have used!! Awesomeness!!!
I think that birthday cards for young kids are very hard. You have really hit the jackpot here with this one. I think that I need to see how you did it. It is so colorful and interesting. I am sure that your Jack will love it.
He's going to be 7 this year?!? WOW! He will love this joyful creation! Made with love and full of love. Also full of FUN! It's such a happy explosion!
Spectacular card! Delighted to have you playing with the Krafty Chicks Challenge this week. Hope you join us again soon.

Oh my goodness, this is just FABULOUS!!! I have never heard of a squash fold card, it looks like so much fun to create. All those sweet patterned papers are so perfect, this card just makes me smile. Well done, your little grandson will love it!!!
Awesome card! Your grandson is going to love it! I also have a grandson named Jack. It seems like only yesterday that he was seven...now he's 17 and plays the drums in a rock band!!
What a great fold and such a fun card! Kids love interactive cards so I know Jack will love this. The letters with candles are super cute and the ribbon to tie it closed is absolutely perfect!
I don't think I've ever seen a squash fold card before, but opening it must be lots of fun! Loving those fun papers and colors and your DGS will surely enjoy it!
Oh, how fun is this squash card, Vicki! I've never made one before... looks very complicated. This challenge worked out perfectly for your grandson's 7th birthday. He's getting a super fun card to celebrate his special day. Fun colors, the fun fold, candles and ribbon.... this card has it all!
Stunning design and most gorgeous colours here.. beautiful stamping x..
Great use of pattern papers in the creation of your delightful card. It certainly should make anyone have a great birthday!
What a great card, I have never saw one before. Great choice in the papers you used on this card.
