Masculine Birthday Card

I'm delighted to be the guest this week at the Color Throwdown315 challenge! Here are the fun, Fall colors that we have to work with:

I originally thought I would use the colors from Color Throwdown for a more Fall inspired card. As I played with different papers and the provided color combos, I had an "eureka moment". Why not use these colors for a masculine birthday card? As you know, I'm always in need of those and sometimes they are hard to create. I really think this worked perfectly not only with the colors, but the sketch. What do you think?

Also, when I saw this sketch over at Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge, I knew I had to combine the both challenges. I think they worked perfectly together. Don't you?

The Thanksgiving Table

Today's project and card is something I thought would be a special little something on a Thanksgiving Holiday table.

The treat holder, minus the treat (I'm on WW and treats are not allowed in the house-smile) and a little 3x3 card. The sentiment is minus one word,"you". That was intentional. As you can see by the photo below, the space on the inside is for someone to record what they are grateful for. They are intended to be put into an album and each year a newly designed "Grateful For" card will be made and added to the others.

The little treat holder was designed design by Dawn Griffith. Thanks, Dawn!

Here are some measurements and pictures of the project:

Base: 4 1/4 x 2 3/4"

Top/candy holder piece: 2 1/4" x 5 3/4" - Using your SU Score Board, Score this piece @ 1 3/4" and 2" horizontally.

*The corners are to be rounded after you score*

The DSP for the holder:

1 5/8" x 2 1/8"(bottom) - 2 1/4" x 3 3/4" (inside)

It is best to put the dimensionals down the center, not only to allow the treat to have room, but room for the ribbonto be threaded through. You could put the ribbon on before you attach the holder, but I found it was easier for me to do it this way.

This is the side view of what the holder should look like when complete.

I hope you have a chance to try this project sometime soon. You'll find that it goes together very quickly. If you have any questions about this project, you can contact me at: bpb4553@gmail.com.

Make it a great weekend and go do something CRAFTY my friends!

Hugs,

Bernadette
