Well, I promised to show the cards I made for my husband's birthday, and here is the first one. I find male cards particularly hard to make, so am always thrilled when I come up with an idea that works. I am also pleased when my husband likes them, as he is my harshest (but fairest) critic! This card is really a present in a card and was inspired by a swap I received from Patrice Halliday-Larsen. Go check out Patrice's work, she is such a talent and I am continually inspired by her!
I have used the "Lots of Bots" set, but didn't want the little boy look with the robots on this peice. I only used the Nuts and Bolts, and I then used DSP to add more interest.
Once you slide the belly band off, that's when it gets really interesting! Inside, I have created a double pocket and added tags. The first tag holds my message and Birthday sentiment, the second, holds a gift card! My husbands reaction was great. He thought this wee card was the best I had made him yet. I take that project as successful!!
Gorgeous, Paula! A cool card - hope he had a lovely birthday.
