We are back with Game #78 with AAA Cards.
I always need birthday cards and today I needed one in a flash. These would be great to mass produce as they are fun and fast to make.
Sometimes when my crafty mojo has taken the day off I cut up my card stock and make card bases and panels. I find this relaxing and it gets me organized so that I have these ready when my mojo comes back.
I started with a pre-scored A2 sized card base and took a circle die and left one small part of the die just off the top of the card so that it keeps both pieces in tact.
I then took another size of the circle dies and cut out this fun patterned paper I received in a card kit a few months back. It's soft and subtle enough that this would make a great tag for a give or even a nice masculine card. I used it because of the circles. ;). I then took a Happy Birthday die from MFT and cut it out of black card stock and adhered it to the patterned paper and then I adhered the paper to the card base. I didn't feel the card needed any embellishments so I called my card done.
