Hello friends!
Crafting a unique and personalized birthday card can be a delightful journey, especially when it reflects the recipient's interests. This card was made for my husband who loves travelling an exploring the new places. Our next adventure will be taking our family to New YorkCity. Cant wait!
Today, I’m sharing a tutorial for this masculine travel-themed birthday card featuring Honey Bee Stamps supplies. This card is perfect for any adventurous spirit who loves to explore the world.
CARD RECIPE
Prepare the Card Base:
- Start with a standard A7 card base. I did end up trimming about 1/4" off the top an bottom of the finished panel.
Create the Background:
- Stamp the Aviator Stamp images using Bee Creative Brilliant White Pigment Ink to create a subtle, white heat-embossed background on a kraft panel. Trim and glue to a coordinating colored background panel once the circles are diecut in the next step.
Build the Focal Point:
- Use the Sweet Stacks: Circles Dies to cut a circles from the center of the Aviator Stamped images piece. And another circle for the background layer. Glue the stamped layer onto the solid background colored layer. This will create an elevated focal point of the card.
- Die cut the "Time to Go" sentiment using the Time to Go Postcard Dies from both white and black card stock. Glue the black layer onto the white layer, slightly shifted to create a shadow layer. Add glossy accents to give it a shiny, dimensional finish. Set aside.
- Select a pattern piece from the Grab Your Passport Paper Pad featuring travel tickets and cut them out. Organize the ticket layout around the opening of the card front. Glue them in place, use foam to elevate and create dimension on some of the tickets.
- Adhere the finished Time to Go circle die cut to the card base using Black Foam Dots 1/4" for dimension.
Add Finishing Touches:
- Embellish the front with Grab Your Passport Gem Stickers to add a touch of sparkle.
- Use a punch tool and add an eyelet to one of the tickets. I used the NYC one as that is where we are going next and added a piece of twine to the top with a simple knot.
Finisih the Inside:
- Stamp the inside sentiments from the Plane Awesome Stamps set using the Bee Creative Intense Black Ink Pad. The sentiment “Let the adventure begin. Wishing you an adventurous birthday” perfectly complements the travel theme.
I hope you got inspired by this Masculine Travel Themed Birthday Card. Enjoy creating a card like this one and celebrating the adventurous spirit of your loved ones.
Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting!
