'Single' birthday wishes.....

It was my nephew David's birthday last month and I made him a card inspired by a magazine. The magazine card was made from kraft card and was a single sleeve (single as in 45rpm vinyl record) with a 'record' inside it. I changed it by adding the sleeve and record to an 8x8 card. The paper on the front of the card was a freebie download. I created the record sleeve from some kraft cardstock, cutting a circular aperture in the front before adhering it together. I also used a circle punch to create a semi-circular notch at the top of the sleeve.

I created a 'record' from black pearlised cardstock and blue paper, slightly smaller than the sleeve. The sentiment on the 'record' was created with rub-ons. It can then be popped into (and out of!) the sleeve- just like a real record!
I finished the card off with David's name, some punched stars and musical notes cut from black pearlised card.
