2 Fast 2 Curious - Happy birthday card!

It was my nephew's 2nd birthday yesterday & with some of the lifting of the restrictions, here in Melbourne, we could have our family together to celebrate!!

There were grandparents, aunties, uncles, cousins, siblings & close family friends eating, talking, laughing & enjoying being together, after so long of not being able to!!

And the food was awesome too!!

So of course, with celebrating Julian's birthday, there just had to be a card made for him, from us.

At the moment 2 Fast 2 Furious is out & while Julian doesnt appreciate the movie yet, he does enjoy the cars that he plays with & all things fast!

And he is a curious little thing, learning about his world, by his brother's side.

So this card marched his curious nature, also!!

I drew a grid on the front of the card, (before I assembled it, obviously) & cut out where the black part of the checkered area was to be. Using a craft knife, I then cut out the black squares from a piece of scrap Basic Black cardstock & placed them into the gaps. 

This way the card front was completely flat.

I then ran the Real Red cardstock attached to the Foam AdhesiveSheets through the Cutting & Embossing Machine, using the Playtime Alphabet dies. 

It's so good that some of the letters are doubled up so it makes for a quicker process!!

Then I found some retired All Geared Up key embellishments & attached it with some white twine & punched a couple of balloons - ta-dah!!

Thanks for stopping by, I appreciate you seeing what Ive made.
