The The flower pot tag can be used to record the date the garden is started.
















Disney Pixar "CARS" Birthday Card on Track

This is a birthday card I made using Disney Pixar "CARS" cartridge.
I had to make a stand for the front end, and it is simply the track with a few slits in it.
The stand on the back was traced from a purchased card stand.
It slips in a tiny pocket I added on the back end.
This allows the card to be disassembled and stored flat...separate from the track.

-The car is McQueen2 pg 32, cut at 6"H.
-Track is from Cars cart and welded on Gypsy.
-Happy Birthday is from Martha Stewart Elegant Cake Art cart pg. 37.
-Font is from Martha Stewart Elegant Cake Art cart, and is called "Dinner At Eight".
-Black posterboard was  used to make track.
-Yellow posterboard was used to make card base.
-Cardstock, Glimmer Mist, Stickles, pop-dots, red-liner tape, & Tacky Glue.
