We just returned from a two-week trip to England and Germany. While we were in Heidelberg, Germany, we celebrated our son-in-law's birthday. This is the card I made for him:
For the vest and tie, I used some die-cuts my sister had given me long ago. I think this was the last of the die-cuts she gave me, but they were fun to use while they lasted.
In this photo, you can see the pocket (I inked around its edges) and the little buttons I created with Nuvo Drops.
I popped the entire vest up on foam tape.
On the inside, I created a mechanism that popped two additional messages out from under the "Happy Birthday" panel.
This picture shows how they slide back under the panel as the card is closed.

We had a nice time on our trip, for the most part, but both came down with terrible colds while there. Our son-in-law is a pediatrician, so he was acting as our personal physician, prescribing a specific medicine regimen for each of us. Even with his personal care, we are still fighting those darn colds!
Thanks so much for stopping by, and remember to laugh--a little or a lot--every day.

This is the perfect masculine card. That patterned paper is just the thing for the vest design. Great little surprise when the card is opened. So sorry you got sick on your vacation. Now you are home you can get lots of rest.
