Winter-theme Cabana Shirt Thank You Card

I had reason of late to send a thank you card to the Southern Hemisphere where it is summer now so I thought it would be fun to make this cabana shirt card, but in winter themed paper.

I think it’s a hoot how the pattern for this card (from svgcuts.com) came with what looks like an undershirt for putting your sentiment on the inside! I added more to the back on this one, too.

And some of the details: little enamel dot buttons and the chest pocket. The pattern made the little top flap only, so I hand cut a little square to make the pocket. The rest was cut with a digital cutting machine.

Cute idea, especially using winter themed paper.

I love this card! Now I’m picturing something similar in funny winter prints for an Ugly Holiday shirt card lol. The possibilities are endless!

Hahaha! Thanks! There is a long sleeved version that I have also made and in the assembly video the designer mentions someone suggesting doing an ugly holiday sweater with it! A cardigan, of course! This is mine, which is just a flannel:

It’s landed in my mailbox!! and it’s even better in person!

The little buttons and cuffs and pocket are all perfect - your attention to detail is phenomenal!! Thank you Tara

Love it! The juxtaposition of the shirt with the print is awesome!

I’m so glad it arrived intact and that you’re enjoying it, @jemimah!
