The problem with giving a handmade birthday card is that you never really get to go back to store bought. Each year you try to come up with a different idea or style. This is where SCS helps. You can go through past ideas and usually there is something that can be adapted to suit the recipient. You just try that little bit more to whenever the card is for a family member.
A couple of weeks ago SCS did a tutorial for a 'wiper' card. There is a great step by step written tutorial or at the end a video tutorial. These are really helpful. For my daughter's birthday I decided to make the wiper card. However I decided to make this one a double-wiper ie. back and front decorated. She could choose which side to display.
my choice for the front
the back
open views
upright view
This was a fun card to make and could be used for many occasions. Worth giving it a go.
