I am so busy at work, with the exam season in full swing, I can't even manage to take my day off so making cards is a bit of a challenge. Really wanted to make this one though, it's for the new challenge at The Male Room and it requires a masculine inspired project featuring a tag
Well, I've outdone myself as I've used two! I must admit to being a bit miffed. I bought these tags and when I opened the packet there is only one of each digit, hate it when they do that, of course we need more zeros than any other number and a couple of each one wouldn't be too much to ask for now, would it?
I am using the Adventure Bound DP again and the sentiment is from a peel off page, called Sentiments For Men, it's been quite useful!
I sponged the edges of all of the panels and used a gate fold card base. I put some more of the wooden panel effect DP inside and stamped the cake and candle image from Big Day to go inside.
Here you can se views of the inside and the dimension on the tags, achieved by using foam pads.
I see that The Paper Players have a challenge featuring masculine cards and so I would like to enter my card in the challenge over there.
Love this birthday card. The birthday number tags are just super, and I do like that sentiment - goes so well with the inside. Great card! xx
ReplyDeleteSuper gatefold card, haven't done one of them for ages - good to be reminded as I tend to just go for my standard 6 x 6 without thinking. Know what you mean about those numbers, but letters are even more infuriating, never enough vowels.
ReplyDeleteA great manly card - at least you made good use of the zero in this set! Thanks for joining my masculine challenge over at The Paper Players this week!
ReplyDeleteI am with Jane- I have totally forgotten about gate fold cards in my haste to do all things CAS. I am soooo gonna try one again. Great card, the tags are very cool!
ReplyDeleteThis is AWESOME! What a fun way to use those tags and I love the numbers! Great masculine card all the way around! Thanks for sharing this with us at the Players this week!
ReplyDeleteWonderful masculine card! I love Adventure Bound and stocked up for cards like this. It's perfect for masculine cards. Thank you for playing along with the Paper Players this week!
ReplyDeleteI like the woodgrain background and the fun number tags! Thanks so much for joining us at the ColourQ!
ReplyDeleteOoops!! Leaving too many comment tonight. I meant to say thanks so much for joining us the PAPER PLAYERS!!!
ReplyDeleteA clever idea to use a gatefold, goes perfectly with two tags. Love that backing paper too.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea for using the tags, and I love the Adventure Bound DSP, definitely a favourite!
