I Love Promarkers DT Card - More Than One Fold

It's challenge time again at I Love Promarkers, the last theme of the year is, "More Than One Fold".  This time the challenge will run for two weeks instead of one, to see us over Christmas, resuming on the first of January.  Our sponsor is Sherri Baldy, who is offering a digi prize to three lucky, randomly chosen winners.
 It's my Mum's birthday on Christmas Eve, this is the card I've made for her, it's an 8x8 gatefold with a die cut centre, done with a grand Spellbinders label die.  She hates it when people wrap her birthday presents in Christmas paper, or worse still, give her a Christmas card as a birthday card, so every year, I deliberately make her card as un-Christmassy as I can!
The pretty papers are First Edition, Sweet Owl, I got them half price at the SECC in October, some are double sided and some are glittered, all are beautiful.  I know Mum will love them, she was slightly envious  that I snaffled the last pack, I offered them to her, but she chose Love Letters instead, although she has oohed and aahed over this lovely stack at mine more than once!
The image is a Dovecraft stamp which has been coloured with Promarkers, with paper piecing for the cake stand.  The sentiment is from Craftwork Cards and the bunting was cut with a Joy die, I stamped the lettering on with mini alphabet stamps.  The row of cupcakes was done with a Martha Stewart punch, the flowers were made with Spellbinders Carnation Creations dies and an Xcut punch, and the flourish was cut with a Tim Holtz Sizzix die.
I'm entering this card in the following challenges -
Emergency Crafters - Anything But Christmas
Divas By Design - Anything Goes
Crafty Sentiments - Birthday
Suzy Bee - #7 - Gatefold
