When someone asks for over the top

 I was asked to make a personalized card for a person celebrating his first year work anniversary with a company.  The company wanted to the card to be over the top.  I wouldn't typically use glitter card on a man's card, but she said to do it up big.  So, I did. I even added a shaker element to the front. The funnest thing about doing this project was I knew the recipient and it was a lot of fun to personalize the card to him.  This is a 6x6 concertina fold card card.  It was more like a book when finished.  I cut all the elements with my cricut from design space.  I'm told he really enjoyed the card.

Another special birthday

 It's my birthday month, so I'm sharing a special birthday card I made for my son's friend's birthday.  I really enjoy personalizing a card.  I think there is just something a little more special about it. I hope he enjoys it and I'm sure he'll enjoy the $10 in the pocket on the back!!   I purchased this design from Cricut DS.  I heat embossed the sentiment.  I dry embossed all the layering panels.

I used DS to cut the letters and I dove deep into my sticker stash to add embellishments.  I cut the 9 from DS as well. Each panel is 4.5 inches and it's an accordion fold concertina card that I found on Sam Calcott's youtube channel (Mixed Up Craft) She's an amazing card engineer.  Hope you enjoy!
