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!
