Happy Saturday, everyone! We have a pretty relaxing day today, just a birthday party to attend, so I decided to make a card for the recipient! His dad was a pilot in WWII, and actually owned a plane after the war. Our friend said he grew up assuming that everyone had a plane in their backyard!!! I thought the new SU set Plane and Simple would be great for his card, and I got a chance to use some new paper that a sweet friend gave me! So here we go! I used the CPS challenge #98 shown here:
but instead of using a circle, I used a rectangle and made this a tab card---buckle card----not sure what you call it! You decide:
You slip the end from beneath the vertical panel and it opens like this:
And here’s the inside:
Hope he likes it! Have a great day!
- Stamps: Plane & Simple, SU; Birthday Centers, CHF
- Paper: Cherry Cobbler Patterns DP; On the Boardwalk, Graphic 45; Misc CS

- Acc: 1/4” Circle Punch, Brads, Oval Punch, 1 1/4” Circle Punch, Designer Label Punch
LeAnne, what a perfect stamp choice for your birthday card. Love the way you changed up the sketch a little to incorporate the plane. Fabulous job - as always.
