I needed to make a 60th birthday card for a friend, so I pulled out the colours I thought I would use. 

Glacier Cardstock, Green Apple Cardstock and Papaya Cardstock. 

I designed a card in Cricut Design space. Like previous cards I wanted a large number card. 

I made it just under 6x6 size to fit in a square envelope. 

I created the 60, then I created an offset for the outline. Then flipped it and put a score line in it (as shown above).

I did an extra 60 in White Daisy Cardstock cause I thought I might add it inside (I didn't end up using it). I also cut the happy birthday from the Close to My Heart Artiste Cricut Collection and added a white offset for that too. 

I cut it out and decided the Glacier was too grey and it looked washed out with the papaya and green apple. 

SO... I cut it again with Capri Cardstock. I had the extra white 60 and the glacier card base so I have 2 cards now :) 

I finished off the card by gluing it all together with Air Touch Adhesive.
