Inspired by a recipe in the Joy of Card Making by paper crafts. Don't know if it's recent or not - borrowed from a friend and there is not a date anywhere. How weird is that?
TFL!

Very Cool! Saving for future guy cards since I have a harder time with them (which is BAD when you have a DH, a DS, a father and FIL, 3 brothers, 5 nephews.....)

Here is a crude recipe for the card (I'm at work, so doing it by memory).
The finished size is a standard 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 in card. The circle with the clock is 1 3/4 inches in diameter, the chocolate brown mat is approximately 2 in in diamter.
Start with a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 in card in the ruby red cardstock. Slice 1 inch off the top. On the front of the card *only*, at the centre top, punch a semicircle (used a 1 3/4 punch for this). Mat the clock with the brown cardstock. Attached the bottom half to the back of the card, on the inside.
Hope this makes sense!
