Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here to share my Go Boldly Birthday Card using The Next Space Explorers Stamp Set by Kindred Stamps! It was my brother’s birthday recently and he loved Star Trek Next Gen growing up! He loved it so much that one year we even had a Next Gen murder mystery birthday party for him! Lol!
The Details of My Go Boldly Birthday Card
For my card, I wanted to include all the characters on his card. So, I went with a fun fold that is like a booklet where you open each page to a new layout! I have included a video at the end to show it in action.
But first, I coloured all the characters with my Copic markers and cut them out with my Brother Scan n’ Cut. Once that was done, I built my booklet using the template that I have included at the end of this post.
Next, was decorating the pages. The Stargazing Designer Series Paper by Stampin’ Up! was perfect for my space theme. I even used the Reach for the Stars Dies by Stampin’ Up! to create my ringed planet with Holographic DSP for the rings.
I used two sentiments from The Next Space Explorers stamp set and one with the Star Trek Symbol from the Space Explorers stamp set to fill the pages facing the characters.
Since the card was so bulky already, the only embellishments I added were a scattering of Holographic die cut stars throughout the booklet.
