Quick easy birthday gift card

Quick easy birthday gift card. Craft the perfect edgy gift with the Gears & Textures Bundle. Create hardcore, mechanical-inspired cards and crafts with raw, urban style. It’s great for masculine cards. You can use gritty stamps for industrial textures and distressed effects and bold dies for gears, chains, and wire.

Focus on Gears & Textures stamp set

In today’s card, I omitted using the dies and will leave that for another project for another day. When you open the card, there is a 1 ¼” (3.5 cm) strip cut from the front of the card and adhered at the top, bottom and right side of the inside of the card to create a pocket. Quick and easy, right?
