How is your week going? Today is our daughter's birthday and she will be working today. Later we are going to meet her and our son-in-law for a meal to celebrate.
Last week I was asked to make a card for a Baby Shower. This was a first for me and I had to ask for a little guidance. I was sent a picture for inspiration though the card in question had been made with a die set. I decided to hunt around the internet to see what I could find. What I found was how to make a Tri-Shutter card.
Before you get worried the mother to be in question knows that she is having a boy. I found a YouTube film that had a template that I could download. Now being me I change the measurements a bit. I did all the scoring with my Hougie Board. Then I had to be brave and use a Stanley Knife to cut the slits. I wanted a smooth cut so scissors would't do.
I printed the paper it has tiny blue hearts on it. The dies came from my stash.
I photographed the card from different angles so it is possible to see all the dies I used.
This photo shows how the card sticks out. I made a place on the back to sign. It folds up really small so it doesn't need a very big envelope.
Here is the card with other at the Baby Shower.
