This is a card that I made for my husband. The adorable teddy bear driving the vintage car is a Topper by Docrafts from their Wellington Bear collection which was released a few years ago. The designer papers are really old and are by Kaisercraft - Pet's Paradise - and I was lucky enough that they matched the image perfectly.
All the layers were trimmed to 1/16" using my Perfect Layers Tools.
The grey-brown cardstock on the side panel was dry embossed using my Big Shot and Cuttlebug (Provocraft) Argyle embossing folder which I thought tied in nicely with the design on the ribbon. I used my old favourite Fiskars Threading Water punch to punch the blue cardstock then tied on the ribbon. I added Fray Stop to the cut ends of the ribbon because it frays terribly even if you handle it carefully. The side panel was popped up on dimensionals and the main image panel was also popped up on dimensionals.
The sentiment is also from the Wellington Bear collection and I added two tiny hearts either side of the sentiment by using my EK Success Arrows border punch (the leftover punchies look like tiny hearts) with some papers in the collection.
I added 3 Docrafts blue buttons using Crafter's Pick Incredibly Tacky glue after first sewing some matching thread through the buttons (I don't like 'naked' buttons on my cards!). Lastly, I glued down the card front to a white card base using Tombow Mono Multi glue.
The finished size is 8-1/4" x 3-7/8" or 210mm x 98mm and fits into a standard (Australian) sized business envelope. It was nice to make a different sized card to the norm.
