An "Unbirthday" Card

 


I had been invited to a child's birthday party where there were several birthdays being celebrated among cousins and the only child who didn't have a birthday soon was a younger sibling that was feeling very left out.  As the youngest, he really didn't understand why he wouldn't be getting presents too.  So I decided to give him a small gift with an "un-birthday" card.  Most of the materials are from a freebie download from www.papercraftinspirationsmagazine.co.uk.  The greetings were created on my computer and printed out.
 

 I fussy cut the car on three sides, but left the card on the left side – scoring it and tucking the resulting flap behind the background that has the road and trees.  
 

A pocket on the inside of the card (created using a template from HOTP) holds several small cut-outs that can fit on the road on the front of the card.  See them in the picture below.

The red patterned paper is from my stash. 

Here are a few of the cars set on the road.
