Tag on the Gate

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.

  1. 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

  2. Super 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.

  9. A clever idea to use a gatefold, goes perfectly with two tags. Love that backing paper too.
