Hi all – I hope you are having a productive week leading up to Thanksgiving – is everything ready? Do you have the turkey, the ham? We have both. I have more little turkey milk cartons to make – one for each of the kids although the kids are really kids any more they are becoming adults. Yesterday was Kyle’s 20th birthday! I can’t believe I have a 20 year old! Where did the time go? Since I needed a card for Kyle for his birthday I used this weeks color challenge for his card. Here is the inspiration picture –
I thought these colors were good for a masculine card even though the inspiration photo isn’t. I am working on another project that uses the Peek-a-Boo die for the Big Shot so I had that on my craft table and decided to play with it for this card too. After playing around with it quite a bit I finally came up with this –
This is the front – I made owls using the owl punch and set them on each of the peek-a-boo windows – each one says “got birthday?” – and when you open the windows you get –
one cupcake and then two cupcakes with candles –
And then on the inside of the card – it’s better than the outside –
This time the peek-a-boo window reveals the best part of the birthday –
The gift card (or cash) – I created a pocket under the window – used the word window punch to make the opening for the gift card – or fold up some case and slide it in there. So that is the card that Kyle got for his birthday.
