Happy Birthday Caterpillar card

Good evening everyone!  I am sharing with you today a card I created for my husband's birthday which is next Friday!  I am also entering this card in 3 challenges this week:  Challenge #21 - Birthday Cards at Birthday Sundaes - Challenge Me Monday # 72 at Fantabulous Cricut and My Pinkalicious Blog Hop (August 2011) 

I only used the Create a Critter Cricut cartridge (one of my favs) and created all of the cuts in the Design Studio.  I used a Cuttlebug embossing folder on just the body of the caterpillar to give it a wrinkly effect.  I stickled around the pinwheel and hat.  I attached the pinwheel with a brad and adhered a tinsel type fuzzy ball to the top of the hat.  The heart balloon is puffed up and layered.  I used stamps from My Craft Spot for the the balloon and the inside of the card (see below).  BTW...I LOVE THEIR STAMPS!!!  I attached the the balloon to the caterpillar with some white floss.  On the inside of the card I used a Martha Stewart corner punch.

Thanks for looking and have a great day!
