Angelo is the grandson of Margie, from Bella Bug Creations. You can read more about Angelo here. We, the Design Team here are making cards for Angelo. He is the card I have made. I hope it will help bring a smile to his sweet little face at this difficult time.
I used decorative papers from DCWV and My Mind's Eye. The solid colors are from The Paper Company. This cute little raccoon is from the Camping Critters cartridge. Isn't her just adorable. Now to make the card fun for a little boy, I decided to make it a slider pop-up card. There is a great tutorial on the Splitcoast Stampers website. When you pull the tab of the card at the bottom, this is what you get.
Isn't this the cutest thing, the way the little raccoon on his bike is standing!! I just love it. It makes it look as if that little raccoon is about to ride right off the card.
And the other thing I like is that the sentiment is a little hidden surprise. But, once the card is standing the sentiment is up front and in plain view.
I used the Paper Lace cartridge to cut the sentiment. I just thought that the font was perfect for the card.
Now, here is a side view so you can see how the card is standing.
This is a fun and easy card to make. I will be doing many more. I invite you to join us in making cards for little Angelo. I know that he and his family would be so appreciative. Go over to Whimsical Wednesdays and see what the Design Teams has created.
Enjoy the card and get well soon, baby boy. We are all pulling for you.
Oh wow, such a FABULOUS card you've created...love it. TFS! ~Shen
