Birthday Wiener {double-sided print-and-cut hybrid card}


I was pretty excited when I finished today's card. I *heart* the new Hot Doggity Dog collection and I loved what I made with it. I always get a kick when I finish a double-sided print-and-cut project (like THIS card, and THIS card) but this time I made a shaped card. I thought that was kind of cool.


I couldn't wait to show off the card so before the glue had even dried, I grabbed it and skipped into the family room. Grinning, I waved the card in front of Hubby's face. (Probably a bad timing since he was totally engrossed in The Blacklist but whatever.... Jin comes first. Heh! )

"Mmm...nice."

What? That's it?!! That's kinda lame so I waved the card at him again. This time, he took his eyes away from "Red" to give my card a 5-second glance.

"Why is the doggy holding the sausage over the cake?"

Dude! The doggy is roasting it over the birthday candles cos' I was trying to make it funny. Unlike you. You're so not fun. :-(

I had more success with my 6th Grader. When I showed her this photo:


...she got really excited!

"Can I have the rainbow? It's so cute! How'd you do it?"


I was beaming. I love it when my kid loves my work! Before I could reply, Twin A (I like to call her that because, well, she's a twin, and my OB/GYN had labelled her as "Baby A"...) said,

"But Mom, it's upside down!"

"What is?"

"The rainbow! The red should be on top and the blue below and PURPLE IS MISSING!"

I explained to her that I had used the original file and that I didn't make any changes to the SVG at all. In fact, I thought it was refreshing that the colors were in the reverse order. It was super cute!

"Mom, can you fix it? Switch the colors back to the correct order and while you're at it, please put back purple."

Gah! My folks don't get it at all. I give up!
