Pile It On! Challenge April - Interactive Cards and/or Birthdays

It's the third Sunday of the month, so we more inspiration for this month's Pile It On! Challenge, as well as a bonus theme. This month's main theme is:

'Interactive Cards'
(Think slider, shaker, pop-up, pocket)

and we have a bonus theme of:

'Birthdays'

Which you can use as an alternative, or combine for this month's challenge!

We are sponsored for this challenge by Gerder Steiner Designs:
Prize - $15 Store Coupon!

This time I made a shaker card for my parents who will be celebrating their Ruby Wedding Anniversary next month...this card is actually for my Nan to give to them, so you will be seeing another on my blog soon. I cut the aperture using my Cuttlebug 'Concentric Hearts' die...then pierced a border around the edges using my pokey tool. The cute hedgehogs are from the 'Every Which Way' set by Penny Black...I coloured them using watercolour pencils, then carefully cut them out. I cut the numbers from a snippet of red card using my Cuttlebug 'Olivia' alphabet, added a sentiment (from a set that was a magazine freebie), and filled the shaker with red heart shaped confetti.


Here are the challenges I've piled on:
