Impossible cards: unique birthday cards!

Have you ever made or received an “impossible card“? I received one for Christmas and was reminded that I had always wanted to make one! It’s called that because upon examination, there’s no explanation as to how the card base is a single piece of card stock and yet, it is!! It took a while for me to figure out and rather than sift through way too many Pinterest pins to find a tutorial, I figured it out!!

So here are a few cards that I’ve made since, all of them for birthdays: 

Here’s the first one that I made for a special friend’s birthday:

I left the back blank so that I could write a personalized message: 

And here’s proof that the card does fit into an A2 envelope:

Here’s the second impossible card I created. I used the the stamp from Hey Birthday Chick

And the third card:

And yet another epic birthday card: this one using the Symbols of Fortune DSP:

I have one more to share but…I’m suddenly having issues accessing my photos. So the last card (for now) to share using this design will have to wait. Until then….
