Card: Birthday Camp

The oldest of my little nephews had his 4th birthday recently, so I decided to make a little interactive card for him.


In between the normal daily routine, it took me several days to make this. When I decided what I wanted to do, I think that all the cutting, resizing and re-cutting, choosing colors, and just putting it all together would take so long! Most of the elements were from both Paper Dolls Cricut cartridges. The tent was from the svg file I found here; I used SCAL to cut it out.


Card Inside

Inside, I placed a little "paper doll" camper roasting marshmallows outside his tent. The little man is laminated and removable, so he can be played with later.


I had a lot of fun with all the little details of this card! I hope he enjoys it as much as I enjoyed making it!

Confession: I'm not Super Woman

Image
Too often I fall into the rut of trying to be "Super Woman". I become intimidated by other women I see who seem to have it together. You've seen them, they exercise daily and look stunning, they religiously feed their family 5 fruits and veggies every single day, their life is so routine that even the dog knows the schedule, their laundry is folded immediately after it exists the dryer and is still hot when put away in it's organized chest of drawers, dust never collects on their furniture, crumbs literally float to the garbage can because they would not dare fall on the perfectly clean floor... ok, so maybe that's a little exaggerated, but you get the idea! I confess, I'm not Super Woman... I've given my kids peanut butter and jelly sandwiches served on a napkin for lunch more times than I care to count. That's ok. It's one of their favorites. PBJs aren't all that bad. I confess, I'm not Super Woman... I have more than...

Considering the fact that it would have cost me well over $50 to order the same number of  predesigned cards , I felt the time and effort was well worth it! It cost me less than $15.00 You can do it too! Design Style I chose to go with a more simplistic style. By using digital cardboard for my background and a stacked photo frame, I was able to keep it simple , but still add dimension and texture . I also made sure to add a slight shadow to some of my elements to give the design some depth. I also went with more basic fonts to compliment the simple design. Click here for similar free stencil fonts . Size and Formatting When you design a postcard, be aware of the requirements of the site where you decide to have them printed. Most sites will accept .jpg files that are 300 dpi or greater.  However, some sites do require your image to be converted to CMYK. I like to use this simple site to c...
