I did a few different things on this card... I layered a bunch of different coordinating papers, and then I stitched them with my sewing machine - my mom will love that because, as I have mentioned before, the stitching will bring back "fond" memories from my childhood when she tried to teach me to sew (not really - ha ha!). 
The "70" was cut from the George Cricut cartridge.
Then in keeping with my other projects this week, I added a raised frame to add a little dimension - I also stitched around the frame. Finally, the frame seemed a little plain, so I added some little buttons with some ribbon in the corner.
Not too fancy, but I think she will like it.

Wonderful card. I can not sew on machine so really admire when someone can and use in the cards. Your card is very elegant whit these joints. I am sure your mom will like it.
Fantastic card, I love all the stitching - I have a machine but I don't use it anywhere near enough!

This is just lovely. Despite having a sewing machine I always tend to do faux stitching on cards. It seems such a work-up to get out the machine to do a small amount of stitching. Having said that, the real thing always looks so much better!!

I am sure your Mom will enjoy your lovely card. I love the stitching. I started stitching some of my cards last week and I find it addicting as it adds such a new dimension to my cards.
Such a pretty card. Your mom will love it. I love all the stitching.
I'm sure your mom loved the card - it is lovely! Esp. love that you incorporated stitching (since that has a lot of meaning for you both) and the buttons are a nice touch!
