I've got some birthday crafting to do this weekend! My family is celebrating the February and March birthdays tomorrow, which means I have 3 projects to make! This is the first one. My brother is into iRacing, and I got him a gift certificate. This is the little envelope I made to hold it.
I just received my Cricut Circle Animal Antics cartridge, and I just love this driving toucan! I thought he would fit my theme perfectly. He is cut at 2 1/2". To make my "road" I cut a narrow strip of patterned paper from the My Mind's Eye Away We Go 6x6 pack.
I found the racing flag in the Silhouette Online Store and cut it with my Cameo.
For my sentiment I took "Happy Birthday" from My Creative Time's More of My Favorite Sayings (I masked out the rest of that sentiment with scotch tape), and then I added "Enjoy the Ride" from MCT's Just Simply Live.
I used Lori Whitlock's #10 String Tie Envelope, adjusting the size so that the finished envelope is 6" x 3 1/2", just perfect for my gift certificate. I used the tutorial on the Silhouette blog that teaches how to size any envelope to match your card. It's really easy and so useful!
Here's a look at the envelope all tied up. I used a little bit of thin hemp from Liz's Paper Loft Boutique to tie it. Okay, on to the next two projects! I'll try to post them this week.
