I wanted to share my grandson Ethan's birthday card. Hard to believe he is 11; he and his brother seem to be growing up faster than my own kids did.
The card has lots of texture with flocking borders and glitter on the cupcake brad. I used die cuts for happy and birtday along with the letters. I backed the 2 panels with coordinating cardstock to reduce the white space when the card was opened. I didn't use any other embellishments besides brads so he wouldn't think the card was "girly". All products are HOTP.
Once I decided what I wanted to do, it was a very quick card to complete and I heard my DIL say she is going to keep this card. What more can a cardmaker hope for?
Thanks for stopping by!
Very cute card Penny. The glitter on the cupcake was a great touch. Why is it that men think that embellishments are girlie??? I just don't understand that. Embellishments are what makes a card interesting instead of boring. Well that is my reason and I'm sticking to it.
ReplyDeleteI hope everything comes out okay for you with the storm. I still can't believe it found its way all the way up your way!

Fun card, Penny. Love the way it opens! I trust all is well for you after the storm. It IS hard to believe it's still alive and chasing you all the way up in Maine!
