Quick 50th Birtday Card (in Anna Griffin Style)

A real quick post on a 50th birthday Card I did for a dear friend.    So I had been thinking about the card I wanted to make her for over a wee, but kept getting busy and putting it off.  I woke-up the morning I was to meet her for her birthday lunch in a panic - I hadn't made her card yet and I still had to go to a doctors appointment. 


Well Thank goodness (and God) for all the beautiful Anna Griffin supplies I have.  I was able to put the this card together before my appointment and still meet my friend for lunch on time.

You can see below that I used shiny gold metallic cardstock for an appropriate 50th celebration!

What Does the Fox Say...

These festive little foxes come from Woodland Whimsy Animals .  Aren't they dreamy?  And the best part -- they are free with Cricut Access.

They have a very southwest feel to me so I added the Happy Birthday title for the Southwest cartridge along with arrows and chevrons from various carts (see below). 

 

I welded the little fox to the base card so his tail would hand down past the edge.  Then I extended the back of the card by welding a rectangle to the bottom. I really think this added interest to the card. 

 

Inside of one says, "That's what the fox says".  Inside of the other says, "I hope all your wildest dreams come true".  I created the sentiment in Design Space and "flattened" to print, so no fussy gluing on the inside.

Had a little glue ooze on this Gray card so I just traced the edges with my glitter gel roller.
