The Male Room Challenge #141 - Our 7th Birthday
I consider myself still a new DT for the Male Room, and it was a surprise and a privilege to be creating a card for its 7th birthday. I thought about doing something special, and here is what I came up with.
Here is the image for this new challenge.
The card fold is called Tuxedo card box which I found through Pinterest here by Sam from Mixed Up Craft. I was inspired by this box and decided to apply the measurements from the video. I used Gina K. in the Navy. I love this shade and the quality of the cardstock. I cut and scored the navy cardstock and cut according to instructions as shown below. I also added eyelets for my buttons and an invisible pocket flap.
Once I have closed the flap to create the box, I added 2 inserts following measurements from the video.
I used the following products to decorate my box:
Shaker balloon - Lawn fawn stitched balloon frames
smaller balloon - Lawn Fawn reveal wheel circle add on frames
wine glasses and bottle - Lori Whitlock French kiss wine and glasses
Cake - cuttlebug die
Celebrate die cut - MFT
I decorated the elements by either embossing and or inking it to add texture and dimension. I propped this using plastic packaging strips. I added a diecut "7" to finish off my decorations. This card will fit a C5 envelope. Here is another shot of the box at a different angle.
We are also excited to welcome Tristan as our guest designer. You wouldn't want to miss her post, as she makes awesome cards. Likewise, visit the other designers in the team and spread some love. Until next challenge.
Happy crafting and have a great day.
