A Big Card For A Big Birthday

by // // 2 Comments

Our Goddaughter celebrated her 40th birthday and so that called for an extra special card. I spoke to her dad who told me she was a massive fan of Take That, all things pink and prosecco. I saw a wonderful card made by a fellow crafter on Craftworld that was a juke box with replica miniature LP’s which had QR codes on them that linked to the tracks on youtube. I used that as my inspiration and made a whole bunch of mini CDs with QR codes too for many of her favourite Take That tracks. I made a box to contain them and then decided to put this in the centre of an exploding box card. I decorated all the sides with various stamped images. The numbers, name and sentiment die cuts were multicut to create thick chip board like embellishments which I accented with glossy accents. The final touch of bling came in the form of gem stones for that extra sparkle.
