My brother-in-law's birthday is on Christmas Eve. That stinks, doesn't it? I always try to separate his birthday present from his Christmas present so that he feels a little special. I didn't want anything Christmas related to his card. Here's what I came up with:
I cut out the Mat Stack 1 and traced around the die on red cardstock to mat the mat. (hee hee) Then I paper pieced the robot. After adding a little texture to the card base, I popped up the sentiment and added the eyelet lace border with some nailheads in the center. I stole some googley eyes from my son's stash (shhh!) and the card was finished. Loved making it!
Here's the inside - with a gift card on the left:
Thanks for looking!

This is so cute!! I love the robot and how you finished the inside of the card as well!
Oh I love this...I have to admit that I have googly eyes in MY stash, as well. Thanks for the tip on 'matting' the mat stack...I was wondering how you got it to be so 'perfect.'
