Birthday card for a young man...

 One of my handsome grandsons turned 20 recently and this is the card I made for him:

It's a pop-out fun fold that is a simplified version of the one that is made in this tutorial. 

I think most young men dream of owning a pickup--unless they already have one, of coursse--so I used a pickup die-set to create this one. I even put some vellum in the back window, although you can't see it.

The balloons were all popped up with foam squares and a black piece of thread was attached to each one. 

The letters were stickers, and the word "Birthday" was stamped onto the tailgate.

I used metallic silver cardstock for the bumper, lights and sideview mirrors. The brake lights have a red dot glued to the little metallic circle.

I used some gray, nubby vinyl for the eight small sections you see here. I thought it might resemble some vinyl upholstery in a pickup.

Both sentiments on the inside were stamped. I just had to make sure that the second one was in the center so that it would be covered up when the card was closed.

This was a fun card to make, and it really isn't difficult--just a little time-consuming.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and remember to laugh--a little or a lot--every day.
