One Hot Birthday

So my special someone's birthday is coming up here soon and I decided why not make him a card of something he loves?
He is a volunteer firefighter and absolutely loves anything and everything to do with fighting fire and saving lives :) My hero *swoon*!

Anyways I ran across two perfect challenges that fit the idea for his card perfectly!
My Craft Spot and CCR are both hosting shaped card challenges, while DL ART is hosting an anything goes challenge :) YAY ME!
So here is my entry, I hope he loves it!



I am so very pleased with this card :)
I cannot recall where the idea for the firetruck shaped card came from, but kudos to whomever thought of this great idea!! I tweaked that design a bit with the inside of the truck showing with the lil firefighter on the inside. The paperdoll came from The Quilling Patch.

    1. Thanks so much :)
      I made the file on MTC and I used my Craftwell eCraft to cut the shapes.
      I will certainly share the file with you if you would like it is in .mtc file formatting because Make-The-Cut does not allow saving in .svg and I haven't learned to use inkscape nor have I downloaded it. Just give me a shout back if you would like the file I am hoping you have MTC software!!

  14. Also if anyone else would like the firetruck file and has Make The Cut I do not mind sharing it :)
    It wasn't a hard file to create either, just lots of basic shapes and some welding here and there!
