5-Minute Card Birthday Card!

I've made another Birthday card with the Digital Delights Builder series and this time it is 5-Minute card.  Yes, really only 5 minutes!

Here's how I made this very quick birthday card:

  • Print the pre-colored image so that the truck width is 5 inches (back bumper to head lights)
  • Cut out the image.  I cut very close to the edge leaving a thin line of white paper.

  • Prepare the card base:
       a. Cut black card stock to 5 1/4 by 9 inches
       b. Score at 4 1/2 inches and fold over to make a card
       c. Trace the image of the truck on the folded card


       d. Cut out the traced image 1/4 inch away from the traced line -             BUT NOT the top fold.  This will leave about 1/4 inch of                   black around the cut image once it is glued in place.
  • Add tape to the truck cut-out leaving an opening between the front and back of the parts of the box.  This leaves space for a tag.  I also added tacky glue around the wheel areas.

  • Position the cut-out on top of the card and secure.
  • I added a strip of plain paper to the inside for a personal greeting (2 1/2 by 4) with rounded corners.

  • Cut a tag 1 1/2 by 2 inches.  Add the sentiment and punch hole.  I added bakers twine.



There it is, a 5-minute birthday card!

Card Recipe
Images: Digital Delights Dump Truck
Paper:  Bazzill black
Markers/Ink: I used pre-colored images and just inked the paper edges with Distress Black Soot
Embellishments: Twine

Happy New Year!

Hello followers and fellow bloggers!  I trust everyone had a wonderful holiday and will have fun watching the ball drop at the stroke of midnight.


I am not one for New Year's resolutions but I decided a couple of days ago that I needed a few.  So here goes:

  1. Decorate the inside of my cards.  I have seen a lot of designers doing this and suddenly wondered why I am not doing it.  I have decorated the inside of a few of my cards but I want to do it most of the time this year.
  2. Give away more cards.  I have actually been hording them. I make and post cards every week and they keep piling up.  I do send some out to family and friends for various reasons like birthdays and I give a few out to people at church but the supply is greater than the demand.  So I am going to package up a big bunch and send them to the children's hospital.  Send a Smile for Kids is a great organization and they take care of giving the cards to the various hospitals in different areas of the country.
  3. Start a challenge blog.  Why you ask? Well, because it will be fun and rewarding and expand my blog friends.  Ok, so I already started this one a couple of days ago.  The new challenge blog is Craft a Scene.  The focus of these monthly challenges will be scenic projects - cards, tags, boxes, whatever, just as long as it is a finished project.  The first challenge starts on Sunday, January 1, 2012!
Well, I think three resolutions is enough for me to get started.  What are your New Year's resolutions?  I would love for you to leave a comment with your list.  In a couple of days, I will compile the whole list and post some stats about resolutions.

Here is my last card for 2011 and it is my first new card to give to Send a Smile for Kids.


Isn't Elle from Digital Delights cute?  I couldn't resist coloring her with pink tones.  The background paper from BoBunny has etchings of different safari animals which I thought worked will with the theme.  I also embossed a piece of paper using a Cuttlebug folder and then sponged over the raised portions with Adirondak Slate.


Card Recipe:
Images: Digital Delights Ellie the Elephant, Happy Birthday Scroll
Paper: Whisper White, Bazzill Black
Markers/Inks: Adirondack Slate, Copics - R81, R83, R85
Embellishments: Prima Pearls, Spellbinders Scalloped Rectangle, Cuttlebug folder

Challenges for this card:
Have a wonderful New Year and don't forget to tell me your new year resolutions.
