Made hubby a fun card for his birthday, this year.
Inside:-Sorry for the blurriness inside. It says: "Happy Birthday, you old buzzard!" J
Tools/Items:-
Cricut Imagine
Cricut Imagine Cartridges –
Best
Friends (background; branch)
Yummy (party hat)
Cricut Cartridge – Life’s a Party (vulture/buzzard;
card; Over the Hill; candles)
Cardstock -- white (for the Imagine)
Glue – ATG; Zig Two-Way
Stickles – Waterfall; Yellow (no name)
Google eye
Boa
Sentiment – computer-generated
Created the base card (at 7”), using the card
feature from the Life’s a Party cartridge.
Used the background (5.5”) and branch (2.4”), from the Imagine Best
Friends cartridge. Placed the buzzard on
the branch.
You may notice that the branch looks a li’l bit
different from the picture in the handbook.
I actually cut away one of the small branches from the top and re-attached
it to the bottom of the main branch.
Otherwise, the buzzard, where it was positioned, would’ve been hiding that
li’l branch.
Put a party hat, from the Yummy cartridge, on the buzzard, adding a pink
boa around its neck.
The inside of the card was created using the “Over
the Hill” insert, cut at 4.4”. I found
you couldn’t use the same ratio for the layered candles, so cut that at 4.1”.
Utilizing CCR (just for designing --- I don’t ever cut from it), I was able to figure out what size the party hat needed to
be. Cut it at 1.8”. The buzzard is cut at 2.3”.
It was a fun card to create. Just hope hubby finds the “fun” in it. LOL J
OMGosh-- this is fantastic!!!! What a hoot-- I bet he loved it. I love the details like the pink boa feathers and the eye! How fun!!!!
