My nephew's 3rd birthday is coming up and so I'm back to making boy birthday cards - I think I just may be getting the hang of this masculine card thing. I love this little airplane from PTI and decided to keep the image plane and simple - or, should I say plane and simple?? GROAN... This is what happens when I type up a post late at night, you get BAD humor. I can't keep it in my head, and so I choose to torture you guys too - haha! The image is stamped in Pumpin Pie ink and the sentiment is in Memento Rich Cocoa. I'm totally digging these Fine and Dandy True Blue papers by My Mind's Eye - so cute for the boys and girls. I finished the card with a little Baker's Twine and used my hobby blade to cut a little hole in the top of the card at the crease so I could loop the twine through.
There was some discussion about the little squares around the image amongst the team this week, so I thought I'd let you in on my measurements. Well, not MY measurements - the card's. Each little kraft base rectangle is 1-1/2" x 1-3/8" and the big kraft base for the panel is 3-1/8" x 2-3/4". I hope that helps in keeping this monster tame.

What a cute card! I love the way you incorporated all those different papers into the design -- they look great together. And the twine is a nice finishing touch. I'll have to remember your tip about notching the card to help it stay in place.
