This is a big card. I have some big square envelopes whining that I never make cards to put in them So I made this one for my dad's birthday.
I got him this car wash key for his birthday. The red key has a "chip" on the other side that has credit for his favorite car wash on it. I work at the local police department so I thought he'd get a kick out of the cop with "his keys". It's a funky fold as the paper I had was only 8 1/2 by 11, so in order to get a 6 1/4 inch squre card, it was short on one end. The policeman mat is where this card opens. Notice I changed the sign to read "one way"... "mine". If that doesn't describe my dad nothin' does see other picture for more detail.
I'm bummed the key doesn't match, but I designed the card first, then got the key...so much for being prepared. TFL!!

This is perfect for the occasion! He should love it! I like the contrast of the blue (a common color for police uniforms!) and the red key -- busted! Really great card!

So clever, fun and perfect! I love that you too have envelopes that talk to you (I just made my forst square card for a nephew's birthday but it turned out a different envelope was speaking as I hvae none that are square LOL)
Great colors and images and the BUSTED is too funny.
