Astronaut and Rocket Birthday Card

This card features an Astronaut who just got dropped off at the moon to explore. There are many techniques used in the card, from chalking, faux stitching to foam pop-ups to add dimension. Here's how to recreate...
 
The card base is 9" x 6", scored and folded at 4.5". The card opens upward
 
The cloud mat is 4" x 5.5"
I faux stitched the card base on the edges and edges of mat

I cut the Astronaut and rocket from the B is for Boy cartridge at 3"

I cut a 4” circle for the moon from the Plantin Schoolbook cartridge, and embossed it with the "spots and dots" cuttlebug folder

I added some gray chalk to moon to make it more realistic and adhered it flat to card in the corner, cut off access moon

I added foam to both the rocket and astronaut, and adhered them to card
I Stamp the “Happy Birthday” sentiment directly to the pattern mat, you could also stamp on a solid colored base and adhere it to the card if your pattern paper is darker.
 

Inside:
Pattern mat is 4" x 5.5" and the white mat is 3.5" x 5"
I chalked the edges of the white mat and adhered it to the mat and then to the card.
I faux stitched the card and mat edges, then stamped the sentiment inside "may all your wishes come true".  To finish it up I added blue dots to the white mat edges.

Airplane Birthday Card

This card shows an airplane soaring over the grassy plains with fluffy clouds in the background! I used faux stitching and pop-up foam to add dimension.
 
I used the "B is for Boys" and "Mickey and Friends" cartridges.
 
The card base is 9" x 6", scored and folded at 4.5". The card open upward.
I cut a mat of pattern paper at 4" x 5.5" and adhered it to the card base
I cut the airplane from the B is for Boy cartridge and pieced it together, I saved the star cut outs to use on the inside.
 
I faux stitched the airplane to give it some dimension. I stamped the sentiment in the top right corner right on the mat – you can stamp on a piece of scrap paper if your mat is to dark.
 
I cut grass from the Mickey and Friends cartridge (page 127) at 3” and cut a straight line across the bottom so it would lay straight on the card base. I adhered it to the bottom centering it and cut off the access on each side. I added dark green dots to the grass to give it some dimension and then added dark blue dots to the mat base to make it pop as well.
 
I cut clouds from the Mickey and Friends cartridge (page 127) at .5", .75" & (2) at 1". I added light blue dots to the clouds. I positioned and adhered the clouds above grass not overlapping grass or sentiment.
 
I then added foam to the airplane and adhered it at an angle towards the left side of the card.
 
Inside Mat:
Grass green mat is 4" x 5.5"
Cloud mat is 3.5" x 5"
White mat is  3" x 4.5". I adhered them together and to the card base. Then I adhered the stars left from the airplane to opposite corners.

I stamped the top center with "May all your wishes come true"

This is a cute and fun card any little boy will love.
