MCT Made In Minutes: Paper Plane Birthday Card

by Veronica

I have a confession: very FEW of my projects are actually "Made In Minutes". I mean, they could be made in minutes if I didn't hem and haw over the design for a half hour...

This simple little card is for my Dad's birthday today. Yep, he's a St. Paddy's baby.

 Leaving a lot of 'base card' around the edges gives this card a crisp look, but the popping up of layers adds a lot of dimension and interest.

MCT Products Used
Stitched 3 x 4 Journal Die
Fun Paper Airplane Die
Fly Away With Me Sentiments
Stitched Party Dies (balloon)

Thanks for stopping by to check out my Made In Minutes project today. You can see more fabulously quick projects from the Design Team on Emma's blog.

I hope you were inspired!

  6. Happy St. Patrick's Day and Happy Birthday to your Dad! He will love this card...great guy card. I would have spent a half hour cutting out many colors of airplanes and then decide on the white. Super job on your card.

    1. LOL. Nope, I didn't fold it - that's just my so-so coloring job you're seeing. :o) I also 'inserted' the string into the center of the die so it looks like it's in the 'fold' of the plane.
