I was given a list of requirements amongst which were:
supports Liverpool and his favourite team number is 7 which is also his birthdate so could it be on the card . I knew I had a tutorial saved for making little shirts as embellishments and that I had a strip of ribbon with footballers on it in my stash so an idea for the card was born.
I made a demo card up with my idea and it got the thumbs up so I finished the real Mccoy in good time. The envelope to put it in took way longer than I had anticipated and ended up being an evening and practically an all nighter (the day before I was due to hand the card over) to come up with a design I was happy with which had included the bright idea of incorporating a magnetic closure on the flap and morphing the envelope into a slim box shape!!
The little shirt is a tutorial which can be found here. I checked what the Liverpool strip for 2016/2017 is and made it using the same colours. The ribbon was just long enough to wrap around the design paper which is a digi by Print Fun Factory 'Balls No 4'.
I made a small pocket for inside the card and added a Red Card.
This is where I incorporated the No 7.
Finally the box card.
I have now received a commission for an 80th Birthday card and the recipient used to be a carpenter!! Not needed till next year though but I have ideas already and just ordered some more magnetic closures.

Brilliant card, love the idea of the red card.
Personalization at its finest! Fabulous card, and the red card inside is an inspired and inspiring touch! Made me laugh about the envelope struggle....that's the sort of thing that happens to me! Xxx
What a great job you made of this, so much better than shop bought ones.
A brilliant card and design. The football shirt is fabulous. Friends love to ask for detailed, personalised cards but they can be tricky to design. You've done a wonderful job here xx
Awesome card Mrs A., love the design and that little shirt!

Brilliant - and so clever how you incorporated the number 7! I never would have thought of that idea - love the little shirt. Made those myself in the past and great fun fiddling on :)
