It’s the first of the month so it’s time for a new challenge at Country View Challenges which is Birthday Card for a Man.
The lovely Corrie is hosting and as it’s her birthday month chose this challenge – Happy Birthday Corrie!

For my card, I covered the background using a Wordies Sentiments Sheet – Birthdays by Creative Expressions, cutting a piece of the sheet to fit the card. Next I embellished the card and also covered any female sentiments with some plaid Christmas Fabric Tape by Tim Holtz. I finished by adding the fun walrus, which was created using an Under The Sea #2 Sizzix Thinlits set and Kraft Cardstock – Classic, both by Tim Holtz.
For more inspiration please see the amazing creations from my fellow Design Team members over at Country View Challenges.
We are looking forward to seeing your makes and you never know, you might even win a £20 voucher for the shop, Country View Crafts! Before you enter your project though, please read the rules!
I love the fun walrus on his card! If you didn’t know, walruses are rare here in the UK, there have been somewhere around 27 sightings in the last 130 years. However we’ve had sightings of walrus on our UK shores in 2021, 2022 and also recently in 2023; a walrus was seen and photographed earlier this week in the Inner Hebrides, Scotland.
Stay safe and well! x
Thanks for joining me today! If you have any questions or comments, I would love to hear from you.

That walrus is a great choice for a birthday boy. I like this card a lot. I also like how it’s a bit unconventional. No tools or automobiles. WAlruses are a great choice. And wow. That’s cool how one has been visiting England. I didn’t know they came that far south. I hope you have a wonderful weekend ahead. Hugs-Erika
