Book Vintage Bleu car male card

An excellent choice for a male celebration card. I have a friend celebrating a birthday, consequently I have chosen that sentiment. However Mariijke has given us several likely uses with the sentiments provided.

A very easy step by step method, by simply cutting out the elements and attaching the finished topper onto a card size of your choice.

I decided to take it a step further along and printed the sheet off three times onto gloss 200gsm card. The main card is a white card cut at 29cm x11.5 cm and folded easel style.

I made a backing sheet from 2 different shades of card. A royal navy card 14.5 x 11cm and used double sided tape to attach this to the card front. The next smaller backing sheet, is a mustard brown, 13 x 9.5cm. I attached this to the Royal Blue in the same manner. I then cut out the main topper and used double sided tape to attach it to a white card 2mm larger,all round, than the topper with double sided tape and using double sided tape attached this to the mustard backing sheet. The backing sheets and card front is now completed. From the second sheet I had copied, I cut around the car carefully, and also cut out the book shape with the car on the front, from the first sheet. I used double sided padded squares to attach the single car onto the book shape portion, I had taken from the first sheet. I next used the third sheet to cut around the blue inner sheet. This I attached to the main topper using sponge double sided squares to the blue inner shape on the topper. Lastly I used double sided tiny padded squares to attach the book shape portion to the blue inner shaped section. I added the happy birthday sentiment.

An easy quick and delightful outcome for my friend, Thank You Mariijke.
