Kody's Birthday

My nephew just turned 10 and I wanted to make a card for him ... but how do you make a card that a 10 year old MIGHT appreciate? Let's face it ... kids don't usually pay attention to the cards that accompany a gift.  Knowing that he is a big fan of Sonic the Hedgehog and that I needed to keep it simple, this is what I came up with.  May not be the most impressive, but hopefully he'll like it.


  • Used pre-scored 4" x 5.5" blank card (portrait)
  • Cut 3.75" x 5.25" light green rectangle
  • Cut 3.25" x 4.75" white rectangle
    • Embossed using a pattern of rings and circles
      • Rubbed yellow ink pad over the texture
      • Used yellow stickels on a few of the rings and circles
  • Printed Sonic the Hedgehog image and cut
