"Heavy Metal" Card

Today's post is actually my husband's attempt at card making. No kidding!!! He was so excited about making this "card" and was sure that it was going to be a breeze to make, so he bought enough materials to make about 12. Well, I sat back and watched him get frustrated... and frustrated. After a few trips to the hardware store and several hours later, he finally finished one. I'm very proud of his finished card. Isn't it cool? I think so. What I really admire is his drive to finish this project, no matter how frustrating it was for him. A few hours after that, he actually said he was ready to make another one!

The card is 5x7 with a frame in the front that he made so that a 3.5x5 picture can easily be inserted. To write a note, you simply use a Sharpie® marker.

Great job and design, hon!

That is so neat that your husband would make a card. I love the hinges. I wouldn't want to pay the postage but it is a card that anyone would enjoy getting. It is perfect for the picture he chose.
