Boys Birthday Card

This card is a boys birthday card. I got my inspiration for this card at Youtube. I think it is so decorative with the tiles behind this little boy.

Quick Tutorial:

Base card is cut at 12" (30cm) x 4 5/8" (12cm) - Score at 6" on the long side.

Tiles are cut at 5/8" (1,1cm) wide, the lenght is different so you have to decide how long you want them to be.
Tiles are adhered to a piece of white cardstock, when finished adhering tiles just cut the white cardstock so just a little bit shows outside the tiles and adhere to card front.

The little boy is colored in with Distress Ink. I used two stamped images - cut the boy out of one of the them and glued him on top of the other with some 3D dots to get a little bit of the 3D effect.

The balloons on this card is actually from another stamp, I just cut them out from the stamped images and colored them in. I used a little bit of silver thread on the balloons.

The sentiment Hats off to You is a stampset from MSE. I have used white embossing powder to make it stand out a little bit more than if I had just used the white ink.

The inside is a piece of white cardstock - cut at 4 3/8" (11,1cm) x 5 6/8" (14,6cm). I have used the left over tiles to make the border on the left side. After adhering the tiles I have cut the white cardstock after the shape the tiles made.

Well this might not be the best tutorial in the world, but I hope you understand what I have done.

Quick Tutorial

You need:

Cardstock, Flowers, brads, prisma pearls, prima bling (or any embellishment you want), ribbon and patterned paper. You will also need a perforator tool, or of course you can use a piercing tool if you want. I find it easier using a perforator tool.

Cardstock measurements (using my cards as example):

Base of card:
Brown cardstock - 11" x 4 1/4" - Score at 4 1/4" and 8 5/8". Use perforator tool on 8 5/8" score line.
Creme Cardstock - 4" x 4"
Patterned paper - 3 3/4" x 3 3/4"
Laced paper - 3 3/4" length, you need to choose the height/width yourselves.

Brown cardstock - 2 1/4" x 2 1/4"
Creme cardstock - 2" x 2"
This is the cardstock pieces where you are to adhere the embellishments on the front.
