This is for my hubby's Uncle in the UK who is turning 65 soon. Recycling at its best, I've used materials that I had around the house! On a light blue A5 card I added some of the wave backing paper that I had used for the fathers day card - it was a 12" sq scrapbooking sheet so I had loads left over. With what was left I made the envelope for this card too!
The images were from a cardboard tissue box that I cut out and saved as they were too nice to just throw away! The edges of each were inked and arranged on the card by mounting with double-sided tape to give depth. To that I added blue buttons with ties of kitchen string and then hot-glued them to the picture. The tag was punched with a Fiskars tag punch in both white card and navy blue paper, trimming the white card to be slightly smaller and glued together. A rub-on sentiment was added and a blue, star shaped eyelet to finish off. A bit more kitchen string was used on the tag and the end tucked under the circle embellishment. That was made with circle punches (from the same card and paper as the tag, but reversed), more string to make the numbers (glued with PVA) and then silver dimensional paint dotted around the edge. Both tag and circle were mounted with foam squares.
