I'm back with another card made using Bird's cutting files. Harlequin print is ideal for this waistcoat card. Bird is from the UK and that's what she calls it. I made some simple changes by welding the back and sides together so now it's a shaped card.
Recently I've seen by blogging buddy Carolina Girl using charms on her cards. I have a bunch of little charms....that I forget about because they're put away...out of sight. So when I made the pockets for this vest I knew I wanted to slip in a charm. A cell phone and a key bob. The perfect finishing touch. I just shaped the pockets slightly to round them out, then applied glue on 3 sides. These cards were so easy to put together, and I bet they'll sell.
I know I should be working on Mother's day cards but this file inspired me. Hope you like it. Be well ~Carole
wonderful....they really got my attention when I hit your site. I must have missed this one too. I've been trying to do a few more man cards and this would fit the bill. I agree that these would sell very well. Thank you for noticing my charms..haha I'm trying to do better. Yours for the waistcoat are prefect and darling....which reminds me of one I could use when I do a card like yours. I tried to bit on maracas but didn't win and just finished a card I could had used them on. I have LOTS of charms but not the one I needed....haha If there are some charms you were wanting, let me know and let me look in my stash for you or I could surprise you or if you have too many as it is...I totally understand,,,haha (because you saw my room) haha
