I saw this UBER-cute idea on on Amy's blog (see original post,
HERE) for a name-frame she created for her daughter. She's been making them again recently for some new nieces and nephews.
HERE is a link to Jayme's' blog, where Amy first saw the frame idea, which gives some instructions and measurements.
Anyway! My nephew just turned seven (a SUPER age) and his parents threw a wonderful, super-hero theme party, complete with decorate-your-own capes, shooting villains with silly string, obstacle courses and a hot-lava dance (musical chairs, Gangnam-style!). So a super-hero name-frame seemed just the thing!
I used all kinds of goodies from CTMH's Superhero paper pack, along with some double-stick THICKERs letters, and Martha Stewart glitter.

He also received a matching birthday card, with a slide-up feature, which I constructed according to instructions on a Paper Wishes webisode on making cards with moveable parts (see the video
HERE, and make sure to check the link to the
Ribbon Slider Treat Pocket card).

LOVE that Gotham-city sky-line stamp!
For the moveable part, you undo the ribbon at the top, and tug on one end, which pulls up a photo of: SUPER-Cal!
(I tried to hide his face--sort of unsuccessfully--I know there are photo-editing programs out there that allow you to pixilate--any suggestions welcome!). There was also a secret enclosure on the back of the card, with a nice new PLASTIC Canadian $20 bill.
It all made for one happy superhero and a happy aunt, too.
Happy crafting,
Caroline
