Spiral pop-up Birthday Card

Soon we will celebrate the first of the "kids" to turn 18 in our family this year.  I wanted to make something memorable for this occasion, and decided upon the spiral pop-up card.  You can find directions here  www.splitcoaststampers.com 

Cutting the circle into a spiral was a little challenging, but once I stopped being so picky, it actually came out really cute.  I attached numbers from the old "Family Treasures" punches, in the middle of the spiral circle so they would jump right out when the card was opened.

Here is the card opened!  I hope she likes it!  I can't believe that these two kids will be 18 soon.  Time has gone so fast.  Looking back I still remember my sister-in-law and I comparing our big bellies!
