Blue Birthday

Happy Friday everyone, hope you have some fun plans for the weekend! My Hubby's birthday is tomorrow and so I thought I better get busy and make a card for him. Celebrate The Occasion is having a challenge this week to make something "Any Occasion (blue and white)". I wanted to support my team and enter something, so I thought why not make my husbands birthday card blue and white. I got my inspiration for this card from a design by Ryann Salamon.

I cut out a 5 1/2" X 4 1/4" card from white cardstock. I covered the front, with some blue magic mesh. I cut a strip of blue cardstcok 12" long and pleated it with my scor pal. 1" then 1/2", then 1" then 1/2" and so on. Stapled the pleated piece to the card. Then I Added a star cut at 2 3/4" with George and Basic Shapes, a ticket that I added a birthday rub on to, a word sticker and a button.

Pretty simple, but makes a nice masculine card I think. Why don't you head over to Celebrate The Occasion and show us your creation in blue and white!!

Supplies used: cardstock - white, 2 shades of blue, magic mesh in blue, blue staples - Making Memories; blue man ticket - Jenni Bowlin; George and Basic Shapes Cricut cartridge; word sticker - Authentique; rub on - Franks sidekicks by American Crafts; button and floss - my stash

Have a great weekend!
