Milo’s First Birthday Card

My husband and I recently got invited to my nephew Milo’s First Birthday Soiree.

It’s not every day that you get invited to a Fancy Party for a one-year-old.

So, when that happens, you need to make a “fancy card”.

• I used a Silhouette Cameo Electronic Die Cutting Machine and simple fonts to design the card.
• I cut out the words for the outside of the card using StyleTechCraft Gold Metallic vinyl.  I cut the large number one using StyleTechCraft Black Glossy Craft Vinyl.

Materials:

• StyleTechCraft Gold Chrome Vinyl*
• StyleTechCraft Black Glossy Craft Vinyl*
• StyleTechCraft Vinyl Tools*
• StyleTechCraft Vinyl Transfer Tape*
• Silhouette Cameo Electronic Die Cutting Machine*
• Gold Cardstock*
• Thin 3D Foam Squares*

• To transfer the large number one onto the gold number one, (which is slightly larger) I used StyleTechCraft transfer tape.
• Place transfer paper over the vinyl and rub with a vinyl scraper tool to help the vinyl cling to the Vinyl Transfer Tape*.
• Center the vinyl onto the cardstock and again rub over the vinyl to transfer.
• Remove the transfer tape.

• To make the layered number one stand out, I added thin foam mounting squares to the back.

• Add the gold chrome words “Mr. One’derful” to the front of the number one with transfer tape.
• Place the number one onto the front of a simple white card with a gold layer.  I added Milo’s name for fun.

The Party was an auspicious event that included

displays of the guest of honor’s fabulous art pieces,

a caricature artist, hors d’oeuvres, and live music.

Formal attire was strongly encouraged, so,

my husband wore a jacket, and I wore a black dress with pearls.
