Birthday card for 80's birthday party using Nifty Fifties

Today was a slow crafting day as it was so hot in my craft room I couldn't hardly think straight.  Luckily I did this card this morning.  It is for a friend of my DD and SIL.  He is turning 40 this weekend and they are having a 80's party.  I  did a Google search and came up with the idea of making a square card that looked like a Rubix cube and adding a record and Converse shoe.  He always  wears Converse shoes. I used the Nifty Fifty Cart.  The stamp is one I recently got from a friend and says Birthday Wishes which worked perfectly for the record label.   I am entering this is the Birthday Sundaes Challenge this week.  

On the inside I cut out Cool man and then made a Pac Man  with a circle punch.  My DD and SIL were really happy with this personal card.

Wow lots of great projects yesterday! Thanks for all your wonderful comments.  My project for today is a layout I did using the cart Nifty Fifties.  I got the idea for this layout  as so many of my friends are now going into their 60's and were born in the 50's.  I myself will join the 60's club in 2 years.   The cuts in the 50's are a lot of fun.

Weekly challenge #23 Guy Stuff Challenge- Cruisin Truck

This is my card for the challenge which was to incorporate at least three of the following types of materials on your project. (Hardware items, stars, raw cardboard or chipboard, twine, string, paint, buttons, staples, or distressed edges)

To make this card I used Nifty Fifties for the truck and the phrase Cruisin is from Boys Will be Boys.  First I embossed Silver Duct Tape that comes in a 8 1/2 x 11 sheet at Michaels with a cuttlebug  folder to make the background.  Then I cut out the truck and  title pieces.  I used tiny bolts for  the wheels, twine, and a button and washer for the bow.  I am leaving the inside blank for now.  I thought later I could add Cruisin...." to wish you a Happy Birthday"  or "by  to say thank you" or  "by to say get well."  Anyway you get the idea- so for now the inside will be blank.  Love the way the duct tape looks embossed.
