Making cards for the guys in my life is always such a challenge. Funny how cute stuff are okay for girls of any age, but for guys, cute stuff just doesn't seem to work. Such it was with this card...I thought the rocket & astronaut were adorable on the B Is For Boys Cricut Lite cartridge and thought it would make a clever pop-up card.
I decided to use a V-fold pop-up on the inside so the rocket would pop-up when the card was opened and make it look like it was soaring into space...
Kinda cute, huh. Only thing was that this card was created for dd's fiance who was celebrating his 25th birthday! Lol, lucky for me, he has a good sense of humor and really does appreciate these homemade cards!
All cuts for this card are from Cricut cartridges...the saturn-like planet is from the Superman cart, stars are from George and funny little green martian from Everyday Paper Dolls. Also ran the martian's planet thru a Cuttlebug embossing folder to give it some fun texture. Had fun putting this together, but I guess it turned out a bit too boyish for a young man of 25!
