Here's a very quick card I made for my daughter and her boyfriend to give to his brother who has just moved into his own place. As I didn't get much warning I had to create something fast - this personalised door was pretty quick and easy to do.I designed the door in Serif home office just using basic shapes. The panels were printed twice so that I could use my Scor-pal to add depth and also matt them onto gold mirri card for a bit of oomph. The letters (complete with real address) were also created in Serif Home Office. I love messing about creating little extras like these - so much fun.
Apparently Neil was over the moon with his card as was his mum who told him in no uncertain terms that he was not to throw the card away as she wanted to keep it. Isn't it lovely when people really appreciate the things we make?
As the challenge at Cute Card Thursday is new beginnings my card is perfect for their challenge and I do hope that Neil's new beginning continues to be a happy one for many years to come.

Such a fabulous card Ann, I really, really thought this was perfect for a new home.
Just need to figure out how you did it now and then I can steal your idea! LOL!
Ooooooh Ann it's great. So unusual and up to date. I don't think I have ever seen a card like this - very unique and can't blame the lad's mum for telling him she wants to keep it. Your cards are always so beautifully made, it's a pleasure to look at them.
Don't overdo things though. Nice to see you are doing some personal cards for your own pleasure.
love

Great idea - lovely card!! Thanks for joining in with us on Cute Card Thursday. Lol Lynn ♥
This is too cute for words!! I love all the details especially the mail slot. Amazing job!!
Fantastic card Ann and so personal.Let's hope this young man looks after his new home.
I find with the MS punch that you have to use a good weight paper. When I tried a light paper it just jammed the punch. Also, use a fairly sharp movement when punching. It took a bit of practise but now I've got the hang of it I'm well chuffed with it.
