a birthday card

It's a special little house turned into a birthday card. I cut the shape and the roof from chipboard and then paper covered everything. The door and the windows were just scrap pieces; the card is for a guy so I was trying to keep it manly as possible.

You can't really see it but the edges of the roof are scalloped. I lined the inside with orange paper and added a little pre-made banner.


The little vintage clown head and the balloons are stuck into a piece of foam from a brad pack that I just covered with paper and washi tape. Creative bonus: the balloons are actually Easter egg stickers turned upside down!

Inspired by this post here!

birthday card

birthday card to go with the potter pillow. i used to make cards all the time and sort of slacked off of them when i started sewing. i took a class on sunday afternoon and one of the projects was a card -- i guess you could say that was inspiration!
