Hello and happy Monday! Today I'm sharing a card I made for my brother's 50th birthday! I made several cards and handed them out for other people to mail to him - so he got plenty of cards this year!
This features Bugaboo Stamps September Word Art digi. I popped up the word art on top of a calendar I printed from online. It was a little too plain for me so I added a bit of copic refill smooshing. And when you open the card, it's an explosion card!
So this is the inside!! This took a few tries using my scor-pal and a few different tutorials until I got the exact fit I wanted. I ended up using a full sheet of white copy paper (8.5 x 11 inch).
The inside uses a stamp set from a Stampin' Up Paper Pumpkin kit. I must say, I was happy with the end result.
Just a quick share today. Thank you for taking a look. Have a wonderful week!
This meets the following challenges: 2 Sisters: Something with the letter S, A Perfect Time to Craft: Anything Goes, Love to Craft: Anything Goes, and Scor-Pal: More than One Score.
I really love both cards! I'm always at a lost for birthday cards. Right now they are very "predictable"....yours is not....it's really cute and clever and perfect for a man. What a great idea giving cards to others to send so he would get plenty of cards. The EXPLOSION CARD!!! That's crazy cool! I would probably be pulling my hair out, but like you, I would stick with it till I figured it out....10 sheets of paper later. I have done one weird fold card, but it's not quite like this. Very cool! I hope you are feeling better from your cold.
ReplyDeleteYour calendar is so cool! So glad that you shared it. And...OMG, that explosion card is amazing! Great job! Thank you so much for joining us at Scor-Pal! Happy scoring!

Now isn't this the cutest thing ever! What a clever idea for a masculine style birthday card!! I just love how you've done the inside too!! :) Now...if you were like me messing with my brother, I would load the inside of that card full of confetti for him to open and spill everywhere! TEE HEE! Yes, I'm a sneaky sis!! :) Thanks for the fun inspiration!! HUGS
