As I have mentioned before, I leave the house at 5:45 a.m. for work. I never see my kids in the morning and most of the time I am fine about that but sometimes I HATE it. Last Friday was one of those days because it was Jack's birthday. I hate that I can't give him a big birthday hug and kiss. So what I do is I decorate the kitchen table with handmade things! This is what Jack saw for his first birthday card. I used a 12x12 sheet of kraft cardstock and I used my Silhouette to to cut out everything. I used the negative space backed the space using Jillibean Soup Staples 2. I loved all the polka dots!. I used my sewing machine and did some messy sewing and then stamped some balloons and attached them with some fun twine from The Stingery

Jack loved this!! When I picked him up from school he said he loved it and he had already pinned it to his bulletin board in his room!

what a fun card and nice surprise for him first thing in the morning.
I love how you used the negative space here. I really like the tradition of decorating the table for Jack on his birthday! What a fun way for him to start his special day!
Oh how sweet! I love this idea. Moose's birthday is next week-I might have to do this for him. :)
Super sweet and smart! I may borrow your idea for my son's 8th coming up! TY for sharing :)
Very Cute!!
This is so sweet!
I think the negative space is a cool idea. I've also seen it backed with rows of washi (so you could have two color stripes for one word--does that make sense)
A wonderful idea!
That is so sweet that he woke up to something so special from you in the morning.
Oh no...that must have been so hard to not be there on that special morning...but you were there in spirit and jack sounds like he understands that!
Great card.
Of course he pinned it...proud son!!! Proud Mama too to make him something so special.
