The Plantin version uses a 12x12 mat and will cut 2 cards at a time. The George version uses a 6x12 mat and cuts one card at a time.
NOW...please note there are other carts used on this card!! Basecamp for the question mark
Graphically Speaking for the words on the front of the card but you can change them to something else if you like, just highlight and delete what you can't use and replace with what you want. Also the George version doesn't have the "you're how old" since I did it in Plantin and I wasn't sure what cart to do it in for George users so you will have to do your own if you want that saying in the card.
You can see the score lines in this picture. I did make score

These are the mats you end up with.

Here is a picture of the mat on the front

This picture shows the placement of the side mat

Here is a close up of trying to show the adhesive on the tabs, the picture is a little blurry, sorry about that! And also how it looks after it is adhered.


Here is the front of the card

Here is a picture of the slide out card with the mat attached and then with the words and question mark put on it.


And here is the overview of the card.

Also used a small Happy Birthday stamp under the you're how old which can be seen in the first picture in this post. I think this one would be good for a man also, I always have problems with birthday cards for men!!
I love this card concept! I think the E is agreeing with your creativity, Okie! Thanks for sharing your cut file!

ReplyDeleteI love this card so much Okie ... so I made one too! I only have the baby bug so I used George, Printing Press, Base Camp & Alphalicious. It turned out so cute!

Hi Okielady,
ReplyDeleteSorry, thought I had left a comment earlier, but when I came back to follow the recipe, it seems I didn't.
Love this card, I am making it at the moment, because I couldn't wait.
Once again you are top of the class.
TFS, especially with all the stress you have at the moment, hope all is better with your daughter.
