I made this card for my sister's boyfriend's 40th birthday. I wanted a big '40' but didn't want to cut them out of card freehand so I bought a packet of sparkly cardboard stickers on Ebay - I got the numbers, stars and 'happy birthday' and 'congratulations' labels in the same pack that you see above.
As they were blue I made the rest of the card match by covering a white square cardblank with blue checked paper, and then mounted a smaller square of blue card with a lacy edge on top.
