A new customer ordered a special card for her mum's 80th birthday. I sent her links to some cards I have made previously to help her pick. "These cards are all gorgeous, so it's hard to choose!" she wrote. Ultimately she decided that her mum would probably like this one best, but with a burgundy background - her mum's favourite colour.
This design can easily be adapted for any name and age.
Happily, the finished card was very well received. "We love the card. Thank you!" my customer wrote to me. Knowing that it will hopefully be treasured as both a birthday card and a keepsake makes all the careful drawing and cutting worthwhile.

Reaching 80 intact is impressive. Elaine deserves a perfect thank you from your customer.
What a beautiful card, Lisa! I love the burgundy background and the idea of using Elaine’s name instead of ‘Mum’. This is definitely something to frame rather than put away in a drawer! 😊
That is lovely!
Another glorious card, and definitely a keeper. Happy 80th Birthday to Elaine! xx
Another Beautiful Card. What joy you bring to others Lisa.
That's a beautiful card! My mom turned 80 last week so I like it even more for that reason : )
A keepsake to be passed down through the generations. But all your creations are, Lisa. Happy belated birthday, Elaine.
Your paper-cutting skill is incredible! The bunting and balloon details look stunning. Happy 80th to Elaine!
Like Elaine, I'm days away from entering this decade.
These are beautiful cards, very beautifully made.
All the best, Irma
What a gorgeous card, Lisa! Happy 80th to Elaine. Visiting from the Funtastic Friday linkup.
I love the simplicity of this card and the burgundy background is gorgeous :)

I can't imagine any of your cards not being happily received! You always personalize each one to make it such a special gift for the recipient! I love the detail of this 80th birthday card! Simply beautiful!
This is gorgeous, Lisa! I love your designs with the solid-colour backgrounds. They really make all the little details stand out. xx
Your hand-cutting is so precise, Lisa. I am specially impressed by the letters!
