The light blue is actually the back of an old envelope which came in the post (which of course everyone keeps) that just happened to be the correct colour blue and the buttons were taken from an old top of Fluff's little bruv that had been safely stored away.
Don't you just love it when a Stash comes together!!!!!
The light blue was adhered to a piece of thick card and then distresed around the edges before being glued onto the card.
I created the grid in excel , deleted the grid lines and then posted into word, shrunk down and printed off. There are another 10 words hidden within the grid. Can you find them?

ReplyDeleteWhat a fun idea....great card.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure Bruv will appreciate you nicking stuff off his jumpers! Even if it is to make a fab but tricksy male card. I didn't miss anyone I shouldn't have did I? xxx
ReplyDeleteThis is a genius idea! Now I'm also going to be on the lookout for pretty envelopes - do they count as Snippets, I wonder?
ReplyDeleteStay warm!

Its great - I saw Huddersfield so I am assuming thats who he supports or where he is from! Very nice.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a fantastic idea Valerie Anne ! You always come up with great ideas ! Hugs, blessings and love from Catherine
ReplyDeleteReally clever idea Mrs A! I started to do the word search but stopped when it went downhill with a word I found :)
ReplyDeleteBut certainly one to remember for the future - the idea not the word.
Hugs, Di xx

What a fabulous idea for a male birthday card. Love the way you can personalize it by hiding words within the puzzle. ann
ReplyDeleteAwesome card, Mrs A! I love it! Might have to do one of those on the theme of hip replacements when my dad goes in to have his op, lol! I must say you look very glam in your new profile pic.
ReplyDeleteGreat re-cycling Anne, fab card and very cleverly thought of..xx
ReplyDeleteHi Mrs A
ReplyDeleteLove this idea very much!!
To begin with I thought you were going to say the recipient was addicted to word searches LOL!!
I see your bloomers have made their way onto your sidebar .. .. don't worry I won't be blowing them up again. I have learnt my lesson.
Have a good weekend.
Love Jules xx
Excellent idea! xxx
ReplyDeleteThis is just great...years ago I used insides of envelopes for iris folding...did you really made the grid yourself? I recognized some words but I saw there was someone who saw them all (I think)...
