This is a card that I made for my son's Karate instructor. His birthday is tomorrow and I thought he would enjoy a cute origami gi. Since this card is intended for a man, I tried to keep the colors masculine and the design simple.
The gi was made from printer paper since it is thinner and easier to fold than cardstock. I used instructions I found on YouTube for an origami soccer uniform. The belt was made with some black grosgrain ribbon. Since the instructor is a black belt, it is appropriate for his card to have one too.
The inside of the card has a simple birthday greeting. I added four stripes to the side of the card, since he recently became a fourth degree black belt. His new belt is embroidered in red, so that is where the color choice came from.
A clean and simple card with a masculine feel. And the colors and design will be meaningful. Plus, I think it is really cute!
