BBQ Box Card – Happy 60th

Hi there

A couple of weeks ago a family friend of ours celebrated his 60th birthday. ‘0’ birthdays are special ones and therefore require a special card.  I’d seen a card created by Jackie Aitken (an Australian Demo) and I just had to CASE it.  It uses the new Apron  of Love Builder Framelits from the Occasions Catalogue.

Now isn’t that a cool card?  I was really pleased with how this turned out – I must admit it took me a bit of time to create but the recipient is worth it.

The base of the card is box card similar to the one made here.  This card can be flattened and put into an envelope.  I made a special envelope with my Envelope Punch Board as the numbers and words were a bit too big to fit into an ordinary envelope.

The box is made out of Basic Black with silver foil used for the doors and accessories.  I cut two of all the utensils and glove and double sided them for extra strength.  I changed a few things from the original design – I punched a hole in the glove and utensils and also the BBQ box then threaded Basic Black Bakers Twine through the holes allowing the items to ‘hang from the BBQ.

I also double backed the words and numbers so that the window sheet could be stuck between – again giving extra strength.

I’ve just purchased a new photo box to take my photos and it comes with a range of backdrops.  The brick and stone sheets were perfect and add to my creation.

It’s hard to believe that today is the last day of February – that means we only have one more month of Sale-A-Bration.  Check out my Catalogues page to see the second release of FREE products you can earn with every order that is over NZD110.00.  If you would like to place an order for product you can do this via my online store or by contacting me on paula@yellowbearstamping.com
